80Retros Game 1989 Keycaps: Black & Gold Edition

80Retros Game 1989 Keycaps: Black & Gold Edition

A Bold Reimagining

One thing we can be sure of, however, is its bold look and quality construction. This isn't just a tribute to the golden age of handheld gaming; it's a complete reimagining.

Where the pixelated screens of the late '80s were defined by shades of grey and green, the Game 1989 set flips the script with a striking black and gold colourway. Deep black keycaps create a stealthy base, while golden legends and accents add a sharp, premium contrast. It’s a look that feels both retro and refined, turning any keyboard into a statement piece.

A Bold Reimagining

A Familiar Feel

Each keycap is shaped in Cherry profile: one of the most popular profiles on the market today, the profile of choice for industry leaders like GMK, and a great option for anyone who spends serious time typing. Its sculpted, low-profile design allows for smooth finger travel across the board, making it a comfortable choice for long gaming sessions and marathon coding sprints alike.

Built for the High Score

The Game 1989 set takes a unique approach to construction, using a hybrid of PBT and ABS plastics to get the best of both worlds. The main body of the keycaps is made from thick, 1.6mm PBT, known for its durability and resistance to the shine that comes from heavy use. The legends are made from double-shot ABS. This process molds the letters from a separate piece of plastic, embedding them into the keycap so they are physically impossible to wear away. The result is a set that feels solid and textured under your fingers, with legends that will stay crisp and clear for years.

Frequently Asked Questions & Specifications

Questions & Answers

What does "Cherry Profile" feel like?

Cherry profile is a sculpted keycap style that is lower than many other profiles like SA or MT3. The keys have a slight cylindrical scoop on top and are angled differently depending on the row, which many users find ergonomic and comfortable for extended typing.

What are double-shot legends?

Double-shot is a manufacturing method where two separate pieces of plastic are moulded together to create the keycap. One piece forms the outer shell, and the other forms the legend (the letter or symbol). Because the legend is a physical piece of plastic, it can't be worn off like printed legends.

Will this keycap set fit my keyboard?

With ~185 keys, this set is designed for broad compatibility. It supports standard ANSI and ISO layouts, as well as many non-standard layouts like 65%, 75%, Alice, and HHKB. It includes multiple sizes for keys like Shift, Control, Alt, and the spacebar row to cover most custom builds. Always check your keyboard's specific layout to be certain.
