About KAP
The KAP Legend System is a versatile and modern set of keycap legends in the cylindrical ‘Cherry’ keycap profile for creating doubleshot keycaps (with a thickness of 1.65mm), designed by kapowaz and manufactured by Big Cat, in partnership with Keyreative.
About KAP's ‘hybrid’ Methods
Keyreative can use a ‘hybrid’ dye-sub/injection moulding technique (illustrated in the cutaway image below).
An initial shot of white PBT is first used to create the legends, before colours are added using a dyesub technique. Finally, the outer keycap is moulded as a second shot.
This allows using a much wider variety of colours on a single keycap (as with dye-sub), but with the crisp legends of doubleshot moulding.
