Drop + Nukz Pixel Platoon Keycap Set

Nothing beats a good old-fashioned 8-bit space invasion. We stand by that claim: because we’re bringing a retro reboot right to your keyboard. Back for another tour, our Pixel Platoon Keycap Set has assembled once again. Capturing that vintage excitement you can only buy with a couple of quarters and a free afternoon, this Nukz-created collection of caps sports a dark-blue colorway reminiscent of old-school arcade favorites—punctuated by colorful modifiers and legends, plus pixelated novelties to match. That said, its resolution is much more modern: thanks to doubleshot legends injected within exacting tolerances of nearly 0.05 millimeters. Developed over the course of 2 years, DCX profile features subtly sculpted tops with a gently cylindrical shape that’s both familiar and undeniably unique. The profile itself is on the shorter side, but the caps are among the heaviest at their size, delivering a sturdy feel with steadfast durability. Experience these benefits and many more—including truly hidden sprue marks, strong shine resistance, incredibly crisp legends—on DCX Pixel Platoon: the keyboard invasion you’ve been waiting for.

Sporting a brand-new profile and a bar-raising build, DCX keycaps deliver a truly exceptional typing experience, down to the finest details. After the success of MT3, we set out to make a new keycap with an even higher standard of quality—and we left no stone unturned; or untyped. Taking over 2 years to refine our design, strengthen our manufacturing, and gather input from our community, we created a shorter, subtly sculpted keycap worthy of any endgame keyboard. The embodiment of our newest, most exacting build processes, DCX keycaps are made from ultra-substantial, proprietary ABS material that’s neither shiny nor hollow-sounding. For a truly blemish-free look that lasts, each keycap’s sprue mark is located on its interior (rather than on a finished side, like many caps). Look closely at the doubleshot legends, and you’ll find next to no flaws there either, since each one is injected within precise tolerances of nearly 0.05 millimeters. Plus, all DCX sets feature carefully considered design principles, including symmetrical vertical margins, consistent left-side legend alignment for all rows, and extensive Base Kit compatibility. It’s excellence, at every level. It’s DCX, exclusively on Drop.
