It has come to our attention that a small portion of users are experiencing an accelerated rate of wear with these keycaps. For these users, the legends are wearing off within 2 weeks of regular use. This is both unexpected for this production technique and unacceptable from a user experience standpoint.
In response to the feedback and response from these users, we are taking the following actions:
Any users experiencing premature fading of legends on the Keysterine keycap set will have their set replaced. Please contact the support team for a replacement set.
As part of our investigation, we analyzed a variety of different solvents and other potential root causes of the fading legends and have not identified any external factors that are contributing to the wear.
We have adjusted the manufacturing process to ensure that the caps have the most durable legends possible moving forward. Replacement sets will come from a newer batch which utilizes this updated printing method.
We will continue to update this post if anything changes. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have here and we’ll do our best to answer.
HoffmanMysterI got my set in March 2022 and noticed the legends fading after a few weeks, so I stopped using them. I am just now seeing this post, is it too late to get them replaced?

Here is an image from the MiTo discord of some production sample keycaps, they look pink to me and when talking to MiTo on the Discord they have referred to them as pink. I am waiting on my keycaps to arrive, I ordered the Raspberry Kit, I will post a photo of mine when they arrive to show the final product and how the color looks. Because I agree, when ordering I noticed they look very red but like I said I have heard them referred to as pink by the designer themselves.
