Recently I was inspired to use the earliest version as a starting point for an entirely new spin on my logo, which I’m proud to reveal to you today! This video rewinds the clock through numerous past iterations, and gives a little glimpse into my creative process. ⚡️

Home | KAP Legend System KAP Legend System — a modern and versatile set of legends for custom mechanical keyboard keycaps

We’ve just launched the overhauled documentation site for KAP Legend System! If you’re a keycap designer interested in creating your own custom keycaps, check it out!

A 3D render of a doubleshot injection moulded keycap, showing the internal structure and how the different legend parts of the keycap are coloured, before a second shot is moulded around the legend.

KAP Legend System can make use of Keyreative’s innovative hybrid doubleshot process. As this cutaway illustrates, the first shot for the legends can be coloured using dye-sublimation, before a second shot creates the main keycap surface, allowing for pin-sharp legend edges.

A black mechanical keyboard, floating in the air against a sky blue background. It has black keycaps with white legends, and several of the keycap icons have bright colours.

KAP White on Black. Coming soon.

A render for a set of custom mechanical keycaps in royal blue with yellow legends. The keycaps have Cyrillic sublegends for the Ukrainian keyboard layout, as well as a ‘novelty’ keycap featuring the iconic Ukrainian ‘Tryzub’ trident symbol.

Working on another set of keycaps using KAP Legend System, this time with Ukrainian-Cyrillic sublegends. To support relief efforts in Ukraine, I’ll be donating my share of the proceeds to charity.

New (in-stock) project drop, right in time for the holidays! I designed a keycap set for my favorite keycap factory using their brand colors, aptly named Fabrik. You can purchase it now from their own (recently launched) shop: www.gmk.net/shop/en/gmk-...

KAP Generation will be available with a supplementary kit of ‘novelty’ keys; here’s a sneak peek at (some of) them.

Interested in designing your own set of keycaps using KAP Legend System? We’ve put together a Designers’ Guide which you can find here: kapowaz.github.io/kap-legends/

Any questions, just give us a shout!

This technique allows us to combine the crisp, durable legends of a doubleshot injection moulded process with multiple colours. Different parts of the same keycap can use different colours, without the fuzzy edges typically associated with dyesub.

As well as KAP Generation, we have another set using KAP Legend System in the works: traditional White on Black, using Keyreative’s hybrid doubleshot & dye-sublimation manufacturing process. Photographed here by @maxvoltar.be!
