Keycap replacements in progress
April 3rd, 2024
In spite of the many rounds of sampling, the strict QC documentation the manufacturer agreed to (which precisely details the alignments we require), and even having a member of our team on-site for a week to oversee the production, many of the keycaps shipped with unacceptable legend alignments. Please reach out to your vendors with a list of flawed keys you'd like replaced. They'll pass on those details to FK Caps and the manufacturer to get new keys remade and sent out.

About SLK Profile
SLK is an ultra-low MX compatible keycap profile 18% shorter than DSA. The keycaps are made of PBT plastic at least 1.5mm thick throughout, with a side skirt that extends down past the switch stem line to better hide the switches underneath. Durable legends and color are applied using a dye-sublimation process.

FAQs
When will the group buy run?
May 1st, 2023 through June 1st, 2023.
How is the sound and feel of typing on SLK?
It’s somewhat similar to DSA but with the thickness of the material, SLK has a noticeably more dense, solid feel.
Will there be other color options in the future?
If this first round is successful, absolutely. Round two will have new colorways that will likely be voted on.
