The Drop + biip MT3 Extended 2048 Custom Keycap Set is a minimalist, retro-style set of keycaps for mechanical keyboards to incorporate a comfortable form and function. The keycaps are inspired by the Apple Extended Keyboard II (AEKII) and boast a contoured, slightly slanted form that angles them in a way that accommodates for the natural curvature of the user's hands. This enables a more comfortable typing experience, while the use of PBT material a with dye-sublimated construction won't allow the markings to rub off.
The Drop + biip MT3 Extended 2048 Custom Keycap Set showcases a prominent curve that will be new to younger users, but familiar to those who grew up using original terminals by IBM.
