[Pre-Order] PBTfans Thermal

A dark, translucent keycap set with colorful gradient accents inspired by heat-signature imagery.

Thermal Keycaps – Overview

Thermal follows X-Ray Keycaps, carrying forward the same translucent-tech idea, only inverted. Where X-Ray is bright and translucent, Thermal shifts to smoky blacks and muted gray translucency, letting light and shadow do the work.

At first glance, it reads almost monochrome, but under directional light, the legends and edges emerge from shadow and reflection, like a thermal image resolving from the dark.

Thermal Accents

Thermal features a novel accent concept inspired by heat-signature imagery.

The base kit includes the Thermal Accent Row, a color gradient across R3 meant to sit as a single “heat line” across the keyboard.

For those who want to go further, the optional Heat Signature accent kit adds blanks across R1–R4 so you can build your own gradient, place it anywhere, or create multiple heat zones.
