Drop MT3 Solarized Dark Keycap Set

On a perfect sunny day, some people still prefer the shade. On an ideal IDE theme, some people still go for dark mode. And on top of a modern keyboard, some people still want the classics. For all of those people, we’re proud to present the Drop MT3 Solarized Dark Keycap Set. Based on the iconic IDE theme created by Ethan Schoonover, this set takes the dark modifiers from our MT3 Solarized Keycap Set and makes them the main event across every key. Perfectly color-matched to Solarized’s original dark mode, these keys may seem a bit shady—but their legibility is second to none. (After all, that’s what the Solarized theme does best.) Alongside this legibility, our exclusive MT3 profile delivers a scooped, sculpted, and ultra-satisfying feel beloved by many members of the Drop community. Both retro and modern, its shape is inspired by the iconic beamspring terminals of the 1970s, spaced and sculpted for today’s boards. It’s a fine-tuned throwback—and on this set, it’s throwing some shade.

Our first-ever exclusive profile, MT3 is a reimagining of retro typing experience—with a look and feel that’s made for the modern user. Designed in collaboration with Matt3o, it’s based on the original beamspring terminals from the 1970s and heavily sculpted: meaning the contour from row to row forms a concave shape, designed to minimize finger travel. Each MT3 keycap also sports a scooped top: a nod back to beamspring terminals, with a slightly refined shape to better fit today’s boards. Made from durable ABS with doubleshot legends, keycaps in the MT3 Solarized Dark Keycap Set will keep you keyboard perfectly shaded-in for countless sessions to come.
