80Retros TPS1979 Keycaps – Cherry Profile All in One Set

80Retros TPS1979 Keycaps – Cherry Profile All in One Set

A Tribute to the 1979 Walkman

Some designs do more than just function. They define a generation. The 1979 Sony TPS-L2 Walkman was one of them—the device that put music in our pockets and a soundtrack to our lives. The 80Retros TPS1979 keycap set is a tribute to that icon, turning your keyboard from a simple tool into a memory machine.

The design is more than just a nod to the past; it's a careful study. The colorway pulls directly from the Walkman's classic system, featuring three refined shades of blue that are adjusted to perfectly complement modern anodized and painted keyboard cases. The signature flash of orange provides a sharp, authentic contrast. To capture the feel of the original hardware, the set uses silver ink accents on select keys, bringing a subtle metallic sheen that echoes the iconic metal logo of the TPS-L2.

Walkman-Inspired Design

Built for an Authentic Feel

The main keys are made from durable PBT plastic with dye-sublimated legends, which are non-textured and highly resistant to wear. Each keycap is shaped in Cherry profile: one of the most popular profiles on the market today and a great option for those who appreciate a comfortable, sculpted typing experience.

But the real story is in the alphas. The set includes a unique collection of semi-transparent ice-blue keycaps made from ABS using a doubleshot production method. This hybrid approach gives the set a distinct look, allowing a subtle glow from your keyboard's backlighting to shine through, much like the status lights on vintage electronics.

Hybrid Material Construction

The All in One Set

The "All in One" name isn't just for show. This single, comprehensive kit is designed to provide complete keyboard coverage without the confusion of buying multiple add-ons. For extensive compatibility that tops the competition, this set comes with 189 keys and fits a huge range of keyboard layouts—including full-size, tenkeyless (TKL), 75%, 65%, and 60%.

For more unique builds, the kit also includes support for split spacebars and Alice layouts, with an extra "B" key and the necessary spacebars to complete your ergonomic setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in the box?

This product includes the complete "All in One" 189-key keycap set only. No keyboard, switches, or other accessories are included.

Are these keycaps good for gaming?

While perfectly suitable for casual use, the dye-sublimated PBT keycaps are not recommended for prolonged, intense gaming sessions (such as FPS or rhythm games) where certain keys are pressed repeatedly. For heavy gaming use, doubleshot keycaps are generally suggested for maximum durability.
