X-Ray is a keycap set that features a clear-on-white, low-contrast design, paying tribute to transparent tech peripherals. Inspired by these devices, these translucent keycaps highlight the internal structures and construction properties that define them.

From certain perspectives, these keycaps almost appear blank. Yet, when any directional light source shines on them, it casts shadows, revealing the depth of the legends.

Details

Designed by modmusings
Manufactured by KBDfans
Made in China
Material: ABS Plastic
Color: Clear ABS with White (WS1) legends

Disclaimer

These keycaps are semi-transparent; therefore, colors may be highly sensitive to lighting and the angle of view.

The keycap base is opaque and is not intended to be used with per key rgb shine through lighting.

The inner layer for the actual set would potentially have visible holes. These holes are not defects but manufacturing constraints from the double-shot injection molding process. To minimize the appearance of these holes, the X-ray keycaps are painted with Tamiya Acrylic Paint.

The images shown are used for illustrative purposes only. While we aim to accurately estimate and reproduce colors, there may be minor variations in the color of the actual product because of the nature of dyes, environmental lighting, and differences in display output due to lighting and digital photography and color settings and capabilities of monitors.

X-Ray Keycaps / Overview

X-Ray Artisan

Designed by maxvoltar in collaboration with the set, the X-Ray artisan pushes the limits on the transparent theme with a modular design.

The bottom is made out of machined aluminum with a white powder coating and features some infill details to add a subtle pop of color. The top is delicately machined polycarbonate, held in place with an M1.6 screw. The result is an artisan you've never seen before, a perfect match for the X-Ray keycaps.
