About SLK Profile

SLK is an ultra-low MX compatible keycap profile 18% shorter than DSA. The keycaps are made of PBT plastic at least 1.5mm thick throughout, with a side skirt that extends down past the switch stem line to better hide the switches underneath. Durable legends and color are applied using a dye-sublimation process.

How is the sound and feel of typing on SLK?
