King Mod Metal Keycaps WASD set for LED keyboards, gold

Mechanical keyboards with their clearly defined key presses and satisfying click sounds are considered the ultimate choice for many gamers.

The Cherry MX switches in these keyboards have an incredibly long lifespan (up to 50 million keystrokes) and allow for absolute precision in gaming or typing. Another advantage is the compatibility of the mechanical switches from Cherry. The shape and size of the keycaps are consistent across the MX Black, MX Red, MX Blue, and MX Brown series, enabling users to modify different keyboards with the same keycaps.

This prompted Caseking to offer a special collection of keycaps that allow enthusiastic users to highly customize their consoles. These are golden caps made from an electroplated zinc alloy, with laser-engraved inscriptions protected by a UV coating. The white characters are translucent, allowing them to be illuminated by the backlight LEDs of the keyboard switches.

This offer includes alternative keys for WASD, meaning four keycaps are provided. Replacing the caps is quite simple: first, gently pry off an old cap using a keycap puller or a pen or screwdriver, and then firmly press the new cap onto the switch.

It should be noted that the metal keycaps from King Mod are heavier than the original plastic ones (weighing between 4.82 g and 5.5 g per cap depending on the position). This makes the stylishly modified human-computer interface slightly louder when typing. On the other hand, the increased weight slightly reduces the actuation force required.
