(Group Buy) PBTfans x Openkey Design Less But Better Dark
Closing Date: October 29th 2025
Expected Shipping time: Q1 2026
Inspired by Dieter Rams' timeless "Less, but Better" philosophy, Openkey Design returns with a new theme: "Dark Theme."
This theme features two colorways:
Dark Keycaps: Crafted with five-sided dye-sublimation for a completely integrated, inky black aesthetic.
Grey Keycaps: Utilizing single-sided dye-sublimation, offering extreme restraint and a perfect complement to the dark theme.
There are no superfluous designs, only clear and easy-to-read legends and symbols, serving the most essential typing experience. Building upon the R1 foundation, it retains extensive key layout support. With PBTfans' renowned excellent materials and craftsmanship, the keycaps are thick, dry to the touch, and built to last.
"Less, but Better - Dark Theme" — Designed by Openkey Design and manufactured by PBTfans, created for those who seek profound simplicity. Please see the final image for a comparison to round 1 and note the slightly greener hue of the legend, and the slightly whiter hue of the main keycap. Other colours are slightly revised as well.
