PBTfans Lyla keycaps — Cherry profile PBT keycap set with glass microspheres
PBTfans · Lyla

Lyla.

Cherry profile PBT with glass microspheres blended into the plastic. Nothing printed, nothing to read — just a cleaner, crisper sound and a surface that feels like skin.

Glass Microspheres

Tuned in the material, not the mod.

The body is PBT — but PBTfans blended glass microspheres into the compound. The difference isn't cosmetic. Where conventional PBT reads slightly hollow and rounded, this blend produces a clearer, crisper sound with a Hi-Fi quality to it.

Most people chase that character with foam, tape and gaskets. Lyla starts with it already in the plastic.

Surface

A skin-like finish.

The texture is deliberately unlike PBTfans' dual-color surface — softer and finer under the fingertip, closer to skin than to the faint grain most PBT carries. It's the kind of detail you notice in the first ten minutes and stop noticing by the end of the day, which is exactly the point.

Walls come in at approximately 1.3mm — substantial enough to carry the acoustics, without the sluggish weight of an over-thick cap.

Blank · Cherry

Nothing written on it.

Lyla ships blank. No legends means no font to clash with your case, no sub-legends to date the build, and no wear pattern developing across your most-used keys. The board becomes the object; the caps just carry it.

Cherry profile keeps the sculpt low and row-differentiated — each row angled and heighted so your fingers land where they expect, even without a legend to aim at.

Compatibility

FAQ

Common questions.

What do glass microspheres actually do?
They're blended into the PBT compound before molding. The result is a stiffer, denser cap wall that rings cleaner when struck — PBTfans describe it as a clearer, crisper sound with a Hi-Fi quality, as opposed to the slightly hollow, rounded tone conventional PBT tends toward.
Are these really blank?
Yes — Lyla ships with no legends at all. If you rely on printed legends for touch typing, this isn't the set for you.
Will Lyla fit my keyboard?
If your board uses Cherry MX switches or MX-style clones — Gateron, Kailh, JWK, Akko, Outemu and similar — the caps will mount. The thing to verify is layout coverage: check your board's key sizes against the kit you select.
How does 1.3mm compare to other keycaps?
It sits in the thick-cap range. Thin stock caps are often closer to 1mm, where the cap flexes and the sound thins out. At roughly 1.3mm Lyla has enough wall to carry the acoustics without feeling heavy or slow to press.
How does the texture differ from other PBTfans sets?
PBTfans specifically note it's distinctly different from their dual-color surface — finer and softer, described as skin-like rather than the faint grain typical of PBT.
Is a keyboard included?
No. This listing is keycaps only. You'll need a keyboard with MX-style switches already installed.
