Other SLK Dessau Keycaps Set

The Other SLK Dessau keycap set offers a sleek and functional upgrade for mechanical keyboard enthusiasts. Designed with the innovative SLK profile, this set combines a flat, uniform keycap shape with durable PBT material, making it suitable for MX-style switches. Its design draws inspiration from Bauhaus and German industrial aesthetics, delivering a clean and modern look that enhances any keyboard setup.

Distinctive SLK Profile and Material Quality

The SLK Dessau keycaps feature the unique SLK profile, characterized by an ultra-low, consistent height across all keys. This profile is specifically engineered for MX-style mechanical switches, providing a comfortable and uniform typing experience. Each keycap is crafted from high-quality PBT plastic, approximately 1.5 mm thick, ensuring excellent durability and resistance to wear. The legends are applied using dye-sublimation, which guarantees sharp, long-lasting characters that won’t fade over time.

Comprehensive Kit Options and Layout Compatibility

This keycap set is available in multiple kits to accommodate a wide range of keyboard layouts. The Base Kit supports popular sizes such as 60%, 65%, 75%, TKL, and full-size keyboards. For smaller or specialized layouts like 40%, ergonomic, and ortholinear keyboards, the Compact Kit provides additional keycaps. The International/Misc Kit includes ISO language keys for regions like Germany, the UK, and Scandinavia, along with Mac modifier keys, making the set versatile for global users.

Design Elements and Special Additions

Inspired by retro German industrial design with a modern twist, the SLK Dessau set uses a clean monospace font with carefully adjusted glyphs and kerning for optimal readability. Accent legends in red or yellow highlight important keys such as Shift and modifiers, adding subtle visual cues. Beyond standard keycaps, the set offers unique extras including an anodized aluminum knob for volume or function control and a special artisan keycap called the “Hibi Cap,” also made from aluminum, providing a distinctive tactile and visual element to your keyboard.
