Drop + Matt3o MT3 /dev/tty Keycap Set

Based on the profile from the iconic IBM® beamspring terminals of the 1970s, this custom set is fully sculpted from dye-sublimated PBT in Hi-Profile. What's Hi-Profile, you ask? Many computer terminals of old were constructed with a slanted switch layout from front to back. Because of that slant, the keycaps sat at an angle atop the switches, too. This set is a reimagination of that unique slanted build, but optimized for modern keyboards. Thanks to some significant design work from Matt3o, 3D modeling, and a whole lot of elbow grease, we're proud to bring these innovative caps back for a second run. Here, we’re offering kits specifically for our CTRL, ALT, SHIFT, Preonic, and Planck keyboards—or other, similar boards, if they’re compatible.

Made from PBT plastic—long considered the superior keycap material—this MX-compatible set is both long lasting and resistant to the shine that occurs after long hours of typing. The legends are dye-sublimated so they won’t fade over the long haul. As for the layout, the set comes with an angled bottom row for a comfy feel. The colorway is a combination of neutral grays and colorful accents for a subtle look on your favorite board.

This 91-key kit will cover the CTRL and tenkeyless keyboards with a standard ANSI layout.

This 70-key kit will cover the ALT and 65% keyboards with the same layout.

This 122-key kit will cover the SHIFT and other keyboards with the 1800 layout.

This 81-key kit will cover the Preonic and Planck keyboards, as well as other ortholinear layouts.
