This could be a revolution in the keycap manufacturing industry.

The “Keyreative KAP MV Classic” sample keycap, which was sent to us with a light-hearted, “Take a look at this new product,” was a stunning finish.

The keycap has a three-layer structure, and appears to be made by combining an outer frame, an inner frame, and a shaft.

More details will probably follow, but from what I can see, I get the impression that in addition to the “double shot to the sides”, the sublegend and side legend areas are sublimation printed.

The black or white legend on the left side of the top is a double shot, but the legend on the right side may be a sublimation print on top of the double shot…?
The side legends may have been printed sublimated over the double shot as well.

It is a hybrid configuration.

The PBS MV Classic has already been discontinued and is no longer available for purchase.

It is not so unusual for a popular designer’s model to be re-released with a different profile, but it is very rare for the manufacturing process itself to be updated so much and sold as it is this time.
