Overview

The Cooler Master PBT Doubleshot Backlit Keycap Set is a 104-key replacement keycap set designed to elevate the durability and aesthetics of a mechanical keyboard. Constructed from PBT plastic using a doubleshot injection molding process, each keycap features legends that are formed from a separate layer of material rather than printed or laser-etched on the surface. This means the characters will not fade, smudge, or wear away, even after years of heavy use. The PBT material itself is more resistant to developing the oily shine that plagues ABS keycaps over time.

Designed with backlighting in mind, the translucent legends allow LED illumination to pass through clearly and evenly, preserving the RGB or single-color lighting effects of compatible keyboards. The set covers the standard US 104-key layout and fits Cooler Master mechanical keyboards as well as most other standard-layout boards with Cherry MX-compatible stems. For users looking to refresh the feel and appearance of their mechanical keyboard without replacing the entire board, this keycap set offers a straightforward and lasting upgrade.
