Latest Collaborated Keycaps In-Store: KapCo x Osu - Pippi Keycap Set

    Latest Collaborated Keycaps In-Store: KapCo x Osu - Pippi Keycap Set

    The Kapco May 20, 2024

    May 20, 2024 - The KapCo is excited to announce the collaboration with Osu!, introducing - the Pippi set! You might be wondering what "Osu!" is. Osu! is a popular rhythm game primarily developed by Dean "peppy" Herbert. It was published in 2007 and has many active players across the globe to this day. The KapCo has got the honor to collaborate with Osu! to create a set of Osu! keycaps. The Design The keycap set features Pippi, Osu!'s official mascot that is created by Dean "peppy" Herbert. Pippi is a young girl who has dyed hair. She has two different hair colors - pink and black. The color scheme on these keycaps is very diverse, consisting of pink, black, white and dark blue. The colorful and rich color scheme truly brings out Pippi's cute character and personality. The "escape" keycap has the Osu! logo, giving the keycap set a nice touch and sticking to the Osu! theme.   The Keycaps The Pippi keycaps are made of high quality PBT material, ensuring that you get the premium Osu! gaming experience. The material also makes the keycaps more durable and resistant to wear, discoloration and shine. Additionally, the keycaps are dye-sublimation printed which means the legends on them are long lasting, long enough to last through countless intense clicks when playing Osu!. The keycaps are Cherry profile, a popular sculpted keycap profile which reduces hand fatigue and improves ergonomics due to the slight angle that the keycaps have. The Deals The KapCo offers two options, keycap set and keyboard set. The keycap set consists of 133 keys which include additional keys. There are two keyboard sets to choose from - 75% keyboard and numpad. The keyboard set variant includes a keyboard kit with pre-installed switches alongside the Pippi keycap set. Simply put the keycaps on, and you are ready to go! The 75% keyboard set features the Zuoya LMK81 keyboard kit, equipped with Gateron G Pro Yellow 2.0 linear switches that are pre-lubed, giving you the smoothest typing and gaming experience. The numpad option features the same switches, but just a smaller keyboard kit - the Zuoya LMK21.  The Pippi keycap set includes a total of 133 keys which include additional keys for different keyboard layout. So this means that the keycaps are compatible with all sizes of standard ANSI layout mechanical keyboards with Cherry MX/ MX style switches. How do I know what type of switches I have? Take off the keycaps on your keyboard and carefully observe the stem of your switches. If the stem looks like a "+" cross-stem, then these keycaps will be compatible. So unless you have low profile switches or exclusive switches, the Pippi keycaps are compatible with your keyboard. If you go for the keycap set only, then you have to make sure your keyboard is compatible with the keycaps. DM @thekapco if you are still unsure about compatibility, The KapCo is happy to help!   The Pre-orders Date The Pippi set is available for pre-order starting May 20, 2024. Orders placed during the pre-order period will receive a free white coiled cable worth $19.90. Pre-order only lasts for a month and the orders will be shipped out on June 20, 2024. So what are you waiting for? Do not miss out on this crazy offer, get the Pippi set now!   Key-takeaway: Pre-order for the Pippi set starts on May 20, 2024. Free white coiled cable for orders placed during pre-order. DM @thekapco if you have any questions.

                Keyboard with Customizable LCD - Introducing Zuoya GMK81 & GMK87

                  Keyboard with Customizable LCD - Introducing Zuoya GMK81 & GMK87

                  The Kapco Feb 21, 2024

                  Kuala Lumpur - February 20, 2024 After gaining great success with the well-known budget custom keyboard kit - GMK67, the manufacturer Zuoya has unveiled two more keyboards in their GMK keyboard kit line. Introducing the GMK81 & GMK87 Mechanical Keyboard Kit! Customizable LCD Screen on the GMK87 The Zuoya GMK81 & GMK87 are considered a big "steal" as they offer a fully customizable 0.96-inch LCD screen at an affordable price range. This feature, combined with their programmability with QMK/VIA firmware, differentiates the GMK81 & GMK87 keyboards from all others in their price range. Left is GMK81, right is GMK87  The GMK81 & GMK87 share a similar casing concept, both featuring a customizable LCD screen and a convenient wireless dongle slot. However, the GMK87 includes an additional aluminum multimedia knob that the GMK81 lacks. Both keyboards are gasket-mounted with up to 4 layers of materials for better typing acoustics, including poron cotton, ixpe switch pad, sponge, and a final layer of silicone pad. Finding these additions in an affordable keyboard that also includes an LCD screen is definitely something to be praised. Fillings of the GMK87 Keyboard While the keyboards may seem similar, they have differences that may be significant to some people. The GMK81 is ideal for those prioritizing desk space, as it is a 75% layout keyboard, featuring only the essential keys. On the other hand, the GMK87 offers a TKL (Tenkeyless) layout, suitable for those who require all standard keys but do not need the numpad. The GMK81 is a 75% Keyboard, while the GMK87 is a 80% (TKL) keyboard. The GMK81 & GMK87 keyboards are compatible with both Windows and macOS operating systems. They even come with a physical switch for users to conveniently swap between different systems. A full charge (from a PC with a Type-C USB cable) would take an average of 1 hour to fill up the 3000mAh battery, which would usually last for more than 3 days of typing adventure. Switching between different devices with its tri-mode connectivity feature does not strain the battery at all, so you can be worry-free and enjoy the wireless perks with the GMK81 or GMK87 keyboard. Get your GMK81 and GMK87 keyboard in The KapCo These amazing keyboard kits are now readily available on The KapCo official webstore, with up to six choices of switch variants for you to choose from. The KapCo provides free installation for every keyboard with switch variants to ensure the quality & functionality is checked before shipping it out. If you're an expert looking to build the keyboard yourself, opt for the "No switches" variant to get the barebone kit.
