I’ll always have a sweet spot for them, as they featured some of the most beloved games of its generation. Being able to have a peek under the plastic increased one’s geeky appreciation/fascination for the underlying technology.įurthermore, the way these caps hint at the inner molding, much like the source reference, makes me really happy at how it all lines up.Įssentially this is a nostalgic affection for the see-through casing of gaming devices and controllers of the past, particularly the ones that I personally played. Although translucent tech casing was a fad of the 90s, as a child, the exposed inner electromechanical components of the devices was a visual delight. Atomic Purple hits that mark for me in terms of nostalgia and childhood fun, being the raddest versions of the GBC and N64 controllers. I’ve always wanted a retro gaming themed keycap set that I not only had a personal connection with, but also had a bright and playful palette, not based around beige and greys. I've been informed that the underlying hole/dots in fact have a lower opacity than these renders depict, and one should refer to photographs of PBTfans Pyga for a more accurate reference. Furthermore the semi-transparent nature of the keycap material adds another variable. There may be variations because of differences in display output due to lighting, angle of view, and screen calibration. The images shown are used for illustrative purposes only. Coincidentally this is an appropriate fit for the theme, as the original transparent shells of the source reference also expose the underlying molding structures (i.e.
These are not defects but manufacturing constraints from the double shot injection molding process. The inner layer for the keycaps will have holes or gaps visible through the semi-transparent top layer. An OEM controller has been used as the primary reference.Ģ. There are several limitations, such as the original casing shells did not have any underlying white opaque layer below the translucent purple layer, which is unavoidable in this situation due to the double-shot legends. This should not be treated as 100% accurate reproduction of the original Atomic Purple colourway.
