Unlocking the Power of Keycaps: Why They Matter More Than You Think
When it comes to mechanical keyboards, the keycaps you choose are more than just aesthetic. They influence how your keyboard feels, sounds, and performs. At YKASEK, we’ve built our Advanced Split Ergonomic Keyboard (DK6 Ergo) to support maximum customization, including the freedom to personalize your keycap set.
Whether you’re a gamer, coder, designer, or keyboard enthusiast, understanding the different types of keycaps—PBT, ABS, double shot, pudding, and custom keycap sets—can completely transform your typing experience.
PBT vs. ABS Keycaps: What’s the Difference?
ABS Keycaps (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene):
These are the most common and affordable keycaps. They’re lightweight and smooth but tend to wear out and develop shine over time. ABS is ideal for users who prefer a lighter touch and a slick feel.
PBT Keycaps (Polybutylene Terephthalate):
A premium option, PBT keycaps are thicker, more durable, and resistant to wear. They offer a matte texture and crisp sound feedback. For those using the YKASEK DK6 Ergo for long work sessions or competitive gaming, PBT is a top-tier choice.
Double Shot Keycaps: Built to Last
Double-shot keycaps are made using two layers of plastic, which means the legends (letters or symbols) will never fade—ever. This makes them a must-have for gamers and power users who demand long-lasting performance without compromising on looks.
Our keyboard supports double-shot keycap installation, giving you the flexibility to upgrade without compatibility issues.
Pudding Keycaps: Light It Up
If you love RGB backlighting (and who doesn’t?), pudding keycaps offer a two-tone translucent design that lets your RGB lights shine through brilliantly. These are a perfect match for the YKASEK DK6 Ergo, which features customizable backlighting and sleek magnetic modules.
The Beauty of Custom Keycap Sets
The DK6 Ergo’s fully modular design allows users to swap keycaps and rearrange layouts easily. Whether you're setting up a macropad for editing, FPS gaming mode, or a minimalist writing layout, custom keycap sets let you create the perfect setup for any scenario.
You can even assign custom functions to each key—improving ergonomics, boosting productivity, and making your workflow truly your own.
Why It All Comes Together with YKASEK
The YKASEK Advanced Split Ergonomic Keyboard isn’t just another mechanical keyboard. It’s a platform—one that empowers you to choose your feel, your layout, and your look. Whether you prefer PBT for durability, pudding for flair, or custom sets for function, our modular design supports it all.
Built with gamers, creatives, and professionals in mind, the DK6 Ergo redefines what a mechanical keyboard should be.
