Tai-Hao Smoky Quartz Keycaps Set

The Tai-Hao Smoky Quartz keycap set offers a unique blend of style and durability for mechanical keyboard enthusiasts. Designed with a translucent smoky gray appearance, these keycaps enhance the look of any keyboard, especially when paired with RGB or backlighting. Crafted from high-quality ABS plastic and featuring a double-shot molding process, the set ensures long-lasting legends and a premium typing experience.

Design and Material Quality

The Smoky Quartz keycaps are made from ABS plastic, known for its smooth texture and resilience. Their translucent smoky gray color allows keyboard lighting to shine through subtly, creating an elegant and modern aesthetic. The keycaps use a double-shot manufacturing technique, meaning the legends are molded into the keycaps rather than printed on top. This guarantees that the legends remain clear and fade-resistant even after extended use.

Profile and Compatibility

This set features the Tai-Hao "Cubic" profile, which is a hybrid between OEM and Cherry profiles, providing comfortable finger positioning and a satisfying typing feel. The keycaps are compatible with MX-style mechanical switches, including popular brands like Cherry MX, Gateron, and Kailh. The set supports ISO-DE layouts with German-specific keys, but also fits other ISO layouts thanks to its included compatible keys.

Layout Support and Lighting Enhancement

The Smoky Quartz set includes approximately 152 keys, making it suitable for a wide range of keyboard sizes such as 60%, 65%, 75%, tenkeyless (TKL), and full-size layouts. Its translucent design is especially beneficial for users who want to showcase their keyboard’s backlighting or RGB effects, as the smoky quartz material diffuses light evenly, enhancing the overall visual appeal of the setup.
