Signature Plastics SA Motorsport Selectric Set

The Signature Plastics SA Motorsport Selectric keycap set offers a vintage-inspired design that suits users interested in a distinctive colorway and sculpted typing experience. It appeals to enthusiasts who appreciate the classic SA profile and want a keycap set that combines motorsport and typewriter themes. This set fits well for typists and hobbyists seeking a visually striking, doubleshot ABS option with sculpted rows and spherical tops.

Design and Aesthetics

• The colorway draws from Gulf racing livery and IBM Selectric typewriters, featuring powder blue alphas, vivid orange accents, cream highlights, and black modifiers.
• Legends are doubleshot molded, ensuring sharp, durable characters that resist fading.
• Novelty keys reflect motorsport and vintage typewriter motifs, adding thematic consistency.
• The set’s palette is distinctive but may not suit users preferring muted or minimalist designs.

Material and Durability

• Made from doubleshot ABS plastic, which provides smooth surfaces and vibrant colors.
• ABS tends to develop shine over time with heavy use, which may affect appearance.
• Doubleshot molding embeds legends permanently, improving longevity compared to printed legends.

Profile and Feel

• SA profile features tall, sculpted keycaps with spherical tops, offering a tactile and vintage typing experience.
• The sculpted rows support finger positioning but may feel unfamiliar to users accustomed to lower-profile keycaps.
• This profile can contribute to a distinctive typing sound and feel, which some users find satisfying.

Trade-offs

• ABS material is less resistant to wear and shine than PBT, requiring more maintenance to keep appearance.
• The tall SA profile can slow typing speed for some users or cause finger fatigue during extended sessions.
• The colorway is bold and thematic, which may limit versatility across different keyboard setups or office environments.
