What customers are saying
Die Keycaps sehen hervorragend aus und fühlen sich sehr gut an. Die Drucke sehen hervorragend aus, mit bloßem Auge sind keine Misprints oder Misalignments zu erkennen. Auch mehrfarbige PNGs werden super gedruckt.
Einzig die Lieferzeit war bei mir deutlich länger als angegeben, dabei hat mir aber der freundliche Kundenservice geholfen und mich ganz transparent über deren aktuelle Zulieferer und Probleme mit alten Zulieferern aufgeklärt.
Alles in Allem eine super Erfahrung und ich werde auf jeden Fall nochmal bestellen und wenn dann die Lieferzeit passt sind es auch glatte 5 Sterne 🙂
I recently ordered a custom keycap set from Thockfactory, and it has now arrived. I really like it. Aside from a few mistakes I made during the configuration (like selecting “thin” media key icons), there are just a few minor details that stand out upon closer inspection.
Colors: Overall, I’m satisfied with the colors. They don’t look exactly like they did on my monitor, but since I haven’t calibrated it, that was to be expected, so I’m not complaining. However, some colors that are supposed to be the same aren’t quite identical
Material and Legends: The keycaps are made of PBT and feel premium. I also noticed that the keycaps seem to have a subtle, interesting glitter effect, which probably comes from the texture of the caps. The alignment of the legends is mostly clean, with just a few keys being slightly off.
Support: The support during the configuration, when dealing with configurator errors, and even after the order was excellent!
Conclusion: Overall, I’m satisfied. These keycaps are quite special since you’d be the only one who has them exactly like this. Aside from the points mentioned, the quality is really good as well.
If you’ve found this website, you’re most likely a mechanical keyboard enthusiast who either can’t find the keycaps you’re looking for, or isn’t satisfied with the generic keycaps available elsewhere.
For me, it was the former. Your options for finding suitable keycaps dramatically decrease when you want to use an ISO keyboard. And for a Turkish layout, there’s essentially nothing available.
For this reason, Thockfactory was a lifesaver for me. At the time I configured my own keycaps, there was no Turkish keyboard preset in the configurator. However, it’s straightforward and powerful enough to take one of the existing presets and customize the text to create whatever you desire.
Regarding the color of the keycaps, I chose two shades of natural grey and red. When I received them, I discovered that the red I used was produced almost exactly as I saw it in the configurator. On the other hand, the produced grays seemed to have a hint of brown/purple in them. I like them nonetheless. However, this color inaccuracy was shared with the owner and, if I understood correctly, this issue should have been resolved by now.
Aside from the colors, the keycaps are really nice and feel premium to me. You probably won’t regret ordering yours, too.
The legends are clear and aligned fairly well.
I appreciate the good communication.
The only downside I noticed is the that at the corners the keycaps the color isn’t consistent. This can be noticed on darker keycap colors. For this reason I’m going to choose lighter keycap colors next time.
But taking into consideration the price and customizability I’m still satisfied and giving 5 stars.
I ordered the keycaps in two tones of neutral grey (RGB 333333 and RGB E1E1E1) but received some brownish purpleish greys.
Letters are very crisp but often they are off centered, in some case by a lot.
At the end I kinda like them anyway, but the colors are way off from what I’ve ordered.
Hope you can improve your process and get better results because your service is a light in the night for non ANSI users.
The keys were fantastic. Several of the more ornate sigil designs came out perfectly but I had some keys that had simple geometric shapes that were off-centre.
I ordered my custom keys at the beginning of June and it only arrived by the middle of July. Which isn’t too long for a custom keyboard but I feel it could be improved.
Overall I would definitely order from them again though.
The design tool lets you do almost anything possible within certain limits, like some “safe” borders to ensure the printing won’t be cropped. The seller warns there might be some misalignment on some key, I have on some keycaps, but like I just wrote, we are warned this can happen. To be honest it is barely noticeable, and I don’t mind.
In my experience, the communication with the seller has been excellent and constructive. You can see that by yourself on reddit, the seller has the best and most honest communication I have ever seen from a company.
And finally, the result was as expected. I had logos on some keys, they are perfectly printed 🙂
I’m very happy with my purchase and recommend if you want a real custom design!
Incredibly impressed with the quality and representation of the design. Doubly impressed given the reasonable price. Thockfactory have amazing customer service and are great to work with.
I was so excited to order my black keykaps with gold legends and got in the end really disappointed with the result. I used full black, so #000000 and they are not even close. Also font is way smaller than in the displayed config.
I recently odered a set of keycaps.
The quality of the keycaps is great – the surface is slightly rough so your fingers have a good grip.
The line work of the different letters and even in the pictures is really precise – down to about the thickness of a hair everything is sharp.
Overall a great service/product, would only recommend
Counter to my expectations and given my uncalibrated monitor, I was positively surprised by how precise were the actual keycap colors.
Also was really amazed to see my keyboard layout added to a configurator the next day after I asked if it was at all possible.
Last but not least, the processing and shipping was fast, I got my keycaps in less than a week after placing an order.
Tbh, the colors are as expected, the prints are centerd and it was shipped in time. Overall the money was worth it because i couldn’t find what i wanted anywhere else.
At first i was a little bit sceptical about the price tag of the keycaps. After i recieved my first order i was stunned about the quality and the looks.
It is worth to give this a try if you want fully customizable keycaps to have a very unique keyboard.

Frequently Asked Questions
PBT (or Polybutylene Terephthalate) is a type of plastic used in keycap manufacturing. PBT keycaps are known for their durability, resistance to wear and ability to maintain their texture over time. They are generally favored by many enthusiasts for their premium feel.
All things considered, the choice between PBT and ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) keycaps depends on personal preference. PBT keycaps are generally preferred for their durability and resistance to wear, while ABS keycaps may develop shine over time but are known for a smoother feel.
Dye-sublimation, or dye-sub, is a keycap printing technique for transferring dye into the material, creating vibrant, long-lasting prints. This method ensures labels resist fading, providing durability and a clean look. Dye-sub makes it possible to print almost any design onto keycaps — perfect for uniquely customizing your own keyboard.

At present, Cherry profile is the only one supported. However, we have plans to introduce XDA, DSA and OEM profiles in the near future. We might add more profiles down the line, depending on user feedback.
At the moment, the configurator does not offer the option to include extra keys due to limitations in the printing process. We are however considering this feature in the future.
If you encounter a crossed square symbol ☒, it indicates that the selected font doesn’t support the character you’re attempting to add. To fix this, please choose a font that includes the desired character for accurate display on your keycaps.
A warning symbol indicates that the colors of at least one legend has very low contrast in combination with your keycap base color and might be hard to discern once printed. Please try to choose colors to increase the contrast ratio.

No, our PBT keycaps are not designed for backlighting. The dye sublimation process, while offering vibrant and durable designs, does not allow light to pass through the legends.
To clean your keycaps, we recommend using a mild solution of water and a gentle soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals that may damage the dye sublimation print. Regular maintenance with a soft brush can help keep your keycaps looking new.
