Our alien robot overlords are here, and
you too can join their squadron of
nuclear-powered spacecraft by purchasing this set of
controls keycaps. This is a limited time offer available
from October 4 2021 until
November 4 2021 at an electronics store
on-line e-commerce website/*. Don’t miss out on this amazing
deal!
*/Internet connection required.
This set is an homage to the sci-fi books, TV shows and
movies we all grew up with. It takes inspiration from a
bunch of them, and adds its own little twists. Every single
legends is custom designed, including the made-up
alien-overlord language. The name “Command” comes from “By
your command!”, the Cylon battle cry from Battlestar
Galactica.
We’ve really gone all out with the
collaborations, which include 2 aluminum artisans, an
aluminum knob, and even an absolutely stunning premium
acrylic TKL board based on
Protozoa‘s succesful
GLITCH/FROST
line.
This set is expected to ship Q2-Q3 2022.

Kitting
Command comes
in 15 different kits (2 alpha kits, 3 modifier kits, numpad,
spacebars and 8 international kits). It features a unique
design with a simple color palette (RAL 3020 and RAL 9005).
The Modifiers kit includes some extra keys so it can be used
to deck out 2 boards (if you get 2 alpha kits). Caps are
matte (not shiny).
Samples
Keyreative was kind enough to provide me with a full
set of samples. The colors are absolutely stunning and the
legends crisp, but let’s dive into some of the obvious
issues, and how I’m planning on making this one of the
highest quality keysets out there.
ALIGNMENT OF LEGENDS
These are just samples, and a first round of them
too. No alignment efforts were made during the production of
this first set. Good news: These legends are super easy to
align because they’re all pretty much a rectangle.
BLUE-ISH TINT
Depending on how the light reflects off the caps, you
can kinda see a blue-ish tint. Keyreative is working on this
(it’s caused because of the pigments they use), and if that
doesn’t work, I’ll slightly tweak the color so it’s closer
to black. Worst case scenario, there might be a reddish tint
in the black.
FADING AROUND THE HOMING BARS
You might’ve seen this issue on some other KAM sets,
but sadly there isn’t a good solution for this. So instead
of having homing bars for Command, I asked Keyreative to
create a scooped 1u KAM mold instead (something they don’t
have today). This won’t have the discoloring issue, and
provides the tactile feedback you need to know your hands
are in the right position.
The Protozoa Command TKL is a premium acrylic board
produced by
Protozoa. It’s based on their successful line of
GLITCH/FROST boards. The colors match Command, and it comes with a
custom-engraved top plate and solder PCB with custom screen
printed artwork which supports a knob in the top right
corner.
