Among the many iconic terminals of the 1980s and 1990s, few made as big of a splash as the G80-9009. With surplus style to match its imposing size, this Cherry-manufactured board was all but begging for a keycap set to be made in its honor. So, naturally, we made it happen. Introducing MT3 9009: a throwback with timeless character and top-notch build quality. Paying homage to the original’s classic color scheme, this off-white-and-gray set is accented with small touches of light green and red for a look that’s both retro and refreshing. And while you may not be using yours to trade stocks, it’ll certainly handle even the most intensive typing, thanks to durable PBT construction. Shaped in our scooped, slanted MT3 profile for a feel that’s both vintage and modern, MT3 9009 is available in a wide range of kits—including a special Novelties Kit with legends from the original board.

When it comes to keycaps, the difference between a high-quality set and a run-of-the-mill one is, well, black and white. Sculpted in our exclusive MT3 profile—a tall, curved profile with scooped tops—this set brings together two classic colors that play well with just about any keyboard. Made of durable ABS plastic with doubleshot construction, these keycaps' legends won’t fade over time. The unique slant across each row is ergonomically designed for comfort, and the F and J keys are deeper than the rest to quickly find your place.

Immortal, wisest, and fairest of all beings in Middle-earth, the Elves are a race unlike any other in Tolkien’s work. On the officially licensed Drop + The Lord of the Rings MT3 Elvish Keycap Set, we’re bringing their elegance and mesmerizing script to your keyboard. Instantly recognizable from writings on legendary items such as the One Ring, the script of Tengwar was created by the ancient Elf Fëanor and eventually replaced the runelike Cirth to become the text of choice for Elvish languages such as Sindarin: the language featured on this set. Designed by Matt3o in a subdued-green-and-off-white colorway, its ornate legends are faithful translations of corresponding Sindarin terms and Tengwar characters—and its durable, dye-sublimated PBT build ensures lasting brilliance with an exceptional feel. For those who need a guide, the Training Elvish and Elvish Ortholinear kits feature both Tengwar and traditional legends. For pure Tengwar, check out the Hardcore Elvish, Elvish Extras, Autumn in Rivendell, and Evenstar Kits.

Sculpted in Hi-Profile, Matt3o’s groundbreaking MT3 /dev/tty custom keycap set changed the way we type. From its heavily slanted design to the scooped, contoured tops of each cap, the set recreates the feel of vintage keyboards. Now, we’re bringing the profile back in a brand-new colorway with doubleshot tooling that’s never been attempted before. As opposed to a dye-sublimation printing process, these doubleshot legends are permanently molded inside the keycap, thus becoming an integral part of it. This ensures reliable legends and continuity throughout the set. Originally called “Soot,” Susuwatari (literally “Wandering Soot”) is an homage to Matt3o’s favorite design house, Studio Ghibli, whose animated films feature fluffy little Soot sprites. Made up of warm gray alphas, almost-black modifiers, and multicolored legends, the set is compatible with Cherry MX switches and clones.

In its heyday in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, Data General’s “Dasher” terminal was part of a computing powerhouse.

Originally designed in SA profile by community member zslane, Dasher is making its comeback in our exclusive MT3 profile: a tall, curved profile with scooped tops. Known for its unique slant across each row, MT3 offers a typing experience like no other. To keep you engaged for years to come, the keycaps feature a doubleshot ABS construction with legends that won’t fade.

The mech keys community is fascinated with retro designs, and there may be no one more infatuated with them than Matt3o. Just take our latest collab with the man behind MT3 profile as proof.

Fearless warriors and fabled builders, the Dwarves are among the most ancient and esteemed races in all of Middle-earth. On the officially licensed Drop + The Lord of the Rings MT3 Dwarvish Keycap Set, we’re bringing their look and language to your keyboard. Created by the god Aulë—a craftsman in his own right—the Dwarves spoke Khuzdul, a secret language which they transcribed into the Elvish script Cirth. When the Elves went on to adopt other forms of writing, Cirth became known as the written word of the Dwarves—and the official text of this keycap set. Designed by Matt3o in an earthy-gray-and-off-white colorway, its runelike legends are faithful translations of corresponding Khuzdul terms and Cirth characters—and its durable, dye-sublimated PBT build ensures lasting brilliance with an exceptional feel. For those who need a guide, the Training Dwarvish and Dwarvish Ortholinear kits feature both Cirth and traditional legends. For pure Cirth, check out the Hardcore Dwarvish, Dwarvish Extras, and Durin’s Forge kits.

Based on the profile from the iconic IBM beamspring terminals of the 1970s, this custom set is fully sculpted from dye-sublimated PBT in Hi-Profile. What's Hi-Profile, you ask? Many computer terminals of old were constructed with a slanted switch layout from front to back. Because of that slant, the keycaps sat at an angle atop the switches, too. This set is a reimagination of that unique slanted build, but optimized for modern keyboards. Thanks to some significant design work from Matt3o, 3D modeling, and a whole lot of elbow grease, we're proud to bring these innovative caps back for a second run.

When you bought an Apple Macintosh computer in the early 1990s, you received the Apple Extended Keyboard II (AEKII) along with it. While it may seem ordinary by modern standards, it was this very keyboard that would become a benchmark for future full-size boards—a legend of its time and still today. For our latest project, we teamed up with designer biip (who you may know from keycap sets like Milkshake, Bento, and Bushido) to create a set inspired by the legendary AEKII. Executed in our exclusive MT3 profile, our Extended 2048 keycap set features a minimal icons-based design with cream-colored alphas, black legends, and bright color accent keys. Made of PBT material with dye-sublimated construction, MT3 Extended 2048 is built strong with legends that won’t fade.
