Drop + The Lord of the Rings™ MT3 Dwarvish Keycap Set
Fortify Your Keyboard, The Dwarvish Way
Fearless warriors and fabled builders, the Dwarves are among the most ancient and esteemed races in all of Middle-earth. On the officially licensed Drop + The Lord of the Rings MT3 Dwarvish Keycap Set, we’re bringing their look and language to your keyboard. Created by the god Aulë—a craftsman in his own right—the Dwarves spoke Khuzdul, a secret language which they transcribed into the Elvish script Cirth. When the Elves went on to adopt other forms of writing, Cirth became known as the written word of the Dwarves—and the official text of this keycap set. Designed by Matt3o in an earthy-gray-and-off-white colorway, its runelike legends are faithful translations of corresponding Khuzdul terms and Cirth characters—and its durable, dye-sublimated PBT build ensures lasting brilliance with an exceptional feel. For those who need a guide, the Training Dwarvish and Dwarvish Ortholinear kits feature both Cirth and traditional legends. For pure Cirth, check out the Hardcore Dwarvish, Dwarvish Extras, and Durin’s Forge kits.
