PBTfans X-Ray Keycap Set
PBTfans X-ray is a keycap set that features a clear and 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.
Extras will be available once preorder units have shipped. ETA Late November
Inspiration:
The design for X-ray keycaps comes from a combination of three things: the nostalgia (and resurgence) of the transparent tech trend from my childhood, my current obsession with translucent polycarbonate keyboards, and my appreciation for minimal design aesthetics.

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 grill lines are cut through the base of the cap to allow for light to shine
through.
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
