Set de teclas Traitors Taotie — PBT, sublimación de color a 5 caras, teclas compatibles con teclados mecánicos

Traitors Taotie keycap set is manufactured from durable PBT plastic and uses 5-side dye-sublimation printing to provide long-lasting, legible legends on mechanical keyboard keys. The set is designed as a full replacement for standard keycaps, offering a matte texture and resistance to shine from finger oils while preserving the original key profile and fit for compatible mechanical switch layouts.

Advantages

The 5-side dye-sublimation method secures legends into the plastic for improved longevity compared with surface printing. PBT material resists wear, heat and glossing, maintaining a consistent matte finish over time. The set is produced to match common mechanical keyboard profiles and spacing, ensuring stable key feel and reliable keycap retention. Printed legends remain readable through extended use and the textured surface supports a comfortable typing experience.

Suitable for

• Replacing worn or glossy factory keycaps on mechanical keyboards
• Customizing keyboard appearance while keeping durable printed legends
• Building or upgrading a custom mechanical keyboard with PBT keycaps
• Enthusiasts who prefer dye-sublimation legends and a matte key texture

Key specifications

• Material: PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) for improved durability and reduced shine
• Printing: 5-side dye-sublimation (dye-sub) for embedded, long-lasting legends
• Finish: matte texture to reduce fingerprint gloss and improve grip
• Compatibility: designed for common mechanical keyboard switch layouts and key profiles
• Set type: full keycap replacement suitable for standard layouts

How to use

Remove the original keycaps using a keycap puller, taking care to note or photograph the existing layout if you plan to preserve specific key placements. Align each Traitors Taotie keycap with the switch stem and press down until it seats securely. For stabilised keys (such as spacebar, Enter, Shift), ensure stabiliser wires or bars are correctly positioned before fitting the keycap. After installation, test each key to confirm correct actuation and spacing.

Recommendations

For best results, clean switch stems and stabilisers before installation to avoid debris affecting fit. Avoid exposing PBT keycaps to prolonged direct sunlight to minimise any potential gradual color change. Use a keycap puller when removing caps to prevent damage to switches and stabilisers, and periodically wipe the matte surface with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to maintain appearance.
