Custom Keycaps for the Wooting 80HE: A Showcase Build by Mechyz Middle East
Mechanical keyboards are more than just tools for typing — they’ve become a canvas for self-expression. From switches to cases, every choice reflects a user’s personality. But nothing personalizes a build quite like custom keycaps.
Recently, our team at goblintechkeys collaborated with Mechyz Middle East (@MechyzME) on a commission build for @uhResma, featuring the powerful Wooting 80HE module. This project highlights how the right keycaps can transform a high-performance keyboard into a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
Commission Build: Where Performance Meets Personalization
This custom build combined Mechyz Middle East’s expert craftsmanship with our custom keycap design and production, resulting in a keyboard that’s both technically advanced and visually striking.
Build Specs:
- @WootingKB 80HE Module – industry-leading analog input precision
- @KBDfans GT-80 Case – a premium and sturdy enclosure
- GEON Raw HE Switches (lubed with GPL205g0) – smooth, consistent performance
- Stock Screw-in Stabilizers (tuned with XHT-BDZ/GPL205g0) – reliable and quiet
- Custom Keyset by goblintechkeys – unique artwork spanning the entire board
Every component was carefully selected, but the keycaps are what give this build its soul and identity.
Why Custom Keycaps Elevate the Wooting 80HE
The Wooting 80HE is already one of the most advanced keyboards on the market, offering analog precision that appeals to both gamers and creators. However, stock keycaps don’t tell your story.
That’s where custom keycaps from goblintechkeys come in. Our dye-sublimated PBT process ensures:
✅ Long-lasting durability with fade-resistant legends
✅ Sharp, high-definition artwork
✅ Compatibility with any layout or format
✅ A unique design tailored to your vision
For this build, we produced a cinematic-themed keyset that turned every keystroke into part of a larger story, merging performance with personalization.
A True Community Collaboration
This project is a shining example of the mechanical keyboard community’s collaborative spirit:
- Mechyz Middle East handled the expert assembly and tuning.
- goblintechkeys created the keycaps that made the board visually iconic.
- The client, @uhResma, received a keyboard that’s truly their own.
Together, we created something far more than just a keyboard , we created an experience.
