The KeyTok BeatBoy keycap set is inspired by the KO2 drum machine designed by Teenage Engineering.
Not only does it look great with its cool coloring, but it is also very practical thanks to the unique “Smile Profile” profile it employs.

KeyTok Beat Boy Keycap Set Overview
The Beat Boy keycap set was inspired by the KO2 drum machine designed by Teenage Engineering.
This musical device is a so-called “sampler,” which is used to play pre-recorded sounds mixed with built-in rhythm patterns.
The name “Beat Boy” was probably chosen in reference to this “beat-ticking act.
The profile used is the Smile profile, an original profile owned by KeyTok.
The SMILE profile is based on the traditional Cherry profile and features a slightly extended yet rounded bottom edge of the keycap.
This increases the contact area of the fingers and provides a more comfortable typing experience.
In addition, the internal structure seems to be ingenious, reducing hollow sound and noise during keystrokes and providing a comfortable bottoming sound.

Review of KeyTok Beat Boy keycap set with actual photos
Let’s take a look at Beat Boy’s photos.
The keyboard on which BeatBoy was installed this time is bully.
It comes in a familiar box.
The packaging is quite tight, and the keycap has an internal structure that prevents it from moving, so there is little risk of damage during transportation.
KawamuraKeyTok is quite reliable because of this.
I like products made by manufacturers who have thought carefully about even the packaging.
Keycaps are stacked in three layers.
What a surprise, the total number of keycaps is 194 keys!
This is only about $60.00 (about 9,000 yen), which is cosmetically perfect.

The first layer of keycaps consists of the set used in the basic 75% layout, the second layer consists of interchangeable function keys and modifier keys at the bottom, and the third layer consists of special keys, numeric keys, and modifier keys for the space bar and each line.
The lower right corner of each alphabet is a regular row of small circles, with only WASD in red.
Visibility looks good when used for gaming applications.
It also provides a good accent when the keycap is actually attached.
KawamuraUnfortunately, there is no “A” because we are operating a QAZ for bully, lol.
I like this hinomaru bento-like coloring.
The function keys are very colorful, creating a truly KO II world view.
It pretty much matches the feel of this area.
This button and knob-inspired print is also very cool.
The eye-catching red-orange of the enter key is great.
Although most users in the world probably use Windows, it is nice to see that they are firmly committed to Mac users as well.
KawamuraI am a Mac user and I am delighted.
KeyTok’s keycap kits are great not only for the typical 60%+ keyboards, but also sneak in small-sized keyboards such as 40%.
Even though there are 2.25u/2.75u convex keys, few keycap brands offer two 3u compex keys.
This is a very nice consideration for people like me who use bully.
The printing method of the keycaps is KeyTok’s most advanced 5-sided dye-sublimation printing.
Even with the text and icons in such close proximity, you can see that there is no color bleeding and the colors are vivid.
The photo also provides a good view of the bulge on the front side, which is a major feature of the Smile profile.
Interior walls are thicker.
I don’t mind the molding marks as they are located on the bottom of the keycap.
In addition, the fact that there are three plastic cross-stem supports instead of the four that would normally support a cross-stem is also presumably due to consideration of acoustic characteristics.
Here is a picture of the actual installation on the keyboard.
The surface of the keycap has a slightly grainy look and a matte atmosphere.
Summary｜I recommend this keycap set for music lovers.
This is our review of KeyTok’s “BeatBoy” keycap set.
It is truly amazing that a keycap set with this design, texture, and number of keys compatible with most keyboards can be purchased for only about $60.00.
Although the need for double-shot keycaps has been increasing in recent years, sublimation printing is still more suitable for expressing this level of design.
