FBB Penguin Keycap Set: 1.7 mm Dye-Sub PBT, Japanese Sublegends, 145 Keys

A colony of penguins, one per key

FBB's Penguin set is for the desk that is allowed to be a little bit silly. Small, round penguins waddle across the novelty keys, the alphas keep things calm in cool whites and icy blues, and the whole board ends up looking like something you would find in a Tokyo stationery shop rather than a PC parts aisle. Japanese kana sublegends under the Latin letters finish the look, whether or not you can read them.

It is a complete 145-key kit for ANSI and ISO boards, moulded in 1.7 mm PBT with dye-sublimated printing, so the cute lasts: the penguins are dyed into the plastic, the matte surface does not go shiny, and the thick walls give each key a dense, quiet-ish clack rather than a thin tick.

Kana sublegends

Each alpha carries a small Japanese hiragana or katakana character beside the letter. Decorative for most, useful for anyone who types in Japanese.

Thick PBT

1.7 mm walls for a solid feel and a deeper sound. Dye-sub printing means nothing wears off and the matte finish stays matte.

Gaming boards welcome

Standard MX stems fit magnetic Hall effect gaming keyboards as well as conventional mechanical boards, so a serious rapid-trigger setup can still have penguins on it.

Q&A & Specifications

Questions & Answers

Will it fit my keyboard?

Yes, if it uses MX-style stems, including magnetic switch boards. The 145 keys cover ANSI and ISO, with the ISO Enter and short left Shift included, plus spares for common bottom-row variations.

Are the legends shine-through?

No. Dye-sub PBT is opaque, so backlighting glows around the keys rather than through the letters.
