KLP Lame, sold by FKcaps, is a keycap set with a distinctive shape.
More precisely, it’s “KLP Lamé.”
FKcaps sells two versions of the set: one for choc v1 and one MX-compatible version.
FKcaps provided the “KLP Lamé Mono 40s Misty Green MX,” so here’s a short review.
Overview of the FKcaps KLP Lamé keycap set
Designed by Braindefender, KLP Lamé is a keycap with a distinctive three-dimensional shape that makes use of curved surfaces.
FKcaps sells the “KLP Lamé Mono” series, which features legends and icons dye-sublimation printed on PBT keycaps.
KawamuraIt’s kind of funny that [H] and [K] are hard to tell apart.
There are two sets: the 66-key “60s Purple Dusk,” which includes a number row, and the 50-key “40s Misty Green,” designed for compact split keyboards.
Both are available in MX and Choc versions, so you can choose one to match your switches.

One thing to watch for when purchasing is compatibility between the MX and Choc versions.
The Choc version is compatible with Kailh Choc v1. For the MX version, FKcaps officially lists compatibility with standard MX-compatible switches as well as Cherry MX Low Profile, Gateron Low Profile, Kailh Choc v2, and Huano Low Profile.
For Choc v2, be sure to choose the “MX version.”

Let’s take a closer look at KLP Lamé.
The keyboard shown is my Corne mini v4 chocolate, which I use regularly.
The most distinctive feature is, of course, the keycap shape.
The A row is close to the usual flat shape, but the Q and Z rows have a much more extreme tilt.
The thumb cluster is also tilted toward the front, allowing you to rest your fingers on it at an angle.
KawamuraThis shape isn’t well suited to keyboards with a frame.
I concluded that this slope helps reduce finger travel.
Because the keycaps themselves slope upward from the home position, like climbing a hill, your fingertips reach the keys a little faster than they would with flat keycaps.
KawamuraThe time saved is only slight.
But it feels really good.
I can’t say how much more efficient it makes typing, but I got the impression that it makes typing more comfortable.
The look is quite unusual, but I think it could become addictive once you get used to it.
Conclusion
That wraps up my review of KLP Lame.
These keycaps have a very distinctive look, but I found them to be exceptionally well thought out.
I’d especially recommend them for keyboards with more vertical movement, such as ortholinear or column-staggered layouts, rather than row-staggered layouts.
If you’re interested, give them a try.
