The KAP Legend System uses the globally popular Cherry profile and double-shot (two-color molding) for a beautiful finish that will not erase the letters on the keycaps.
As for the double shot, it is also a “hybrid,” with the exterior of the keycap made of translucent ABS material and the inner cylinder, which represents the legend, made of opaque PBT material using an injection molding method.

The striking combination of a translucent maroon color (often called burgundy or burgundy in Japan) base with a hot pink legend is a wonderful coloring that spices up the calm.
It is not composed of a single color, and the modifier key is slightly darker in tone than the alpha key, which will give a much more crisp impression when seen in person.

I have a sample on hand, but it is difficult to express this beauty using material photos.
I’ll show you the actual photos in due course!
The IC form is currently being opened.
