The dagaladoo Beige Jade Keycap Set (Clear) is a 115-key set molded in translucent polycarbonate (PC). This article goes past the spec sheet: whether it actually fits your board, how PC differs from PBT in daily use, and who should skip it entirely.
Overview
The short version: this is a looks-first keycap set for people who want their RGB backlight to glow softly and their desk to lean beige-and-pink. It is not the right pick if long-term wear resistance or acoustic tuning is your priority.
The choice of PC over PBT determines both the upside and the downside of this product.
The key specs are 115 keys, Cherry profile, polycarbonate material, and compatibility with Cherry MX / Gateron MX-style stems. The colorway is a beige base bleeding into pink, with a lightly frosted top surface paired with glossy sides.
That combination gives the set two faces: a muted beige look with the lights off, and a layered glow with light escaping through the sidewalls when lit.
As captured on 2026-06-20, the Amazon.co.jp listing showed 554 reviews at 4.3 out of 5 stars (86% positive).
For a keycap set, 500-plus reviews is a meaningful sample size, so this is not an obscure product with a handful of enthusiast buyers. That said, 4.3 is a "good with caveats" score, and the caveats tend to cluster around layout and legend issues discussed below.
Compatibility Guide
Keycap fitment comes down to three things: stem shape, layout, and key widths. Check them in that order.
| Check | This set | Common failure |
|---|---|---|
| Stem | Cherry MX-style cross stem | Low-profile switches will not fit |
| Layout | 60% / 65% / 75% / 84-key / 87-key / 96-key / 100% | JIS boards use keys not found on ANSI |
| Key count | 115 keys | Not enough to cover two boards at once |
| Profile | Cherry (sculpted, row-specific heights) | Wrong-row placement ruins the feel |
On stems: any mechanical keyboard using MX-compatible switches — Cherry MX, Gateron, Kailh, Outemu, TTC and similar — will accept these caps. They will not physically fit laptop scissor switches, membrane keyboards, or low-profile switches such as Cherry ML and Kailh Choc.
The question is not "is my keyboard mechanical" but "is my keyboard MX-compatible." Many slim mechanical boards use Choc-style switches, and those need a low-profile set instead.
On layout: the listed support covers 60%, 65%, 75%, 84-key, 87-key, 96-key, and 100%. The 115-key count fills a 104-key full-size board and then adds the odd-width keys (1.75u Shift, 1u bottom-right cluster) that compact layouts need.
So 115 keys does not mean you can outfit two keyboards — it means you have spares to reconfigure one keyboard across layouts.
The biggest caveat is JIS (Japanese) layout. JIS boards include keys that ANSI does not have and use a differently shaped Enter and narrower right Shift.
Most overseas keycap sets are designed around ANSI, and the compatibility notes here are expressed in key counts rather than explicit JIS coverage. If your board is JIS, check the product photos before ordering.
Skipping that step leaves you with a patchwork board where a few original caps stay behind.
Cherry profile is sculpted, meaning each row has its own height and angle. Unlike uniform XDA/DSA profiles, R1 through R4 caps must go on the correct rows.
Because it matches the shape of most stock mechanical keycaps, there is essentially no relearning period after the swap — a genuine advantage for first-time modders.
Product Info
The price was ￥5,549 including tax as captured on 2026-06-20. Keycaps move with exchange rates and sales, so confirm the current price on the product page before buying.
The same capture showed 554 reviews at 4.3 out of 5 stars (86% positive).
The box contains 115 keycaps plus a keycap puller. The puller matters more than it sounds: without one, people pry caps off with fingernails or rulers and crack switch stems.
For a first swap, an included puller is a legitimate reason to pick one set over another.
Polycarbonate is the standard choice for shine-through caps because it transmits light well. It is tougher and less brittle than ABS, but its surface hardness is below PBT.
Compared with PBT double-shot caps, PC develops a shine on frequently touched keys — WASD, space, Enter — sooner. This is not a defect; it is the trade-off.
PC is not "weaker" than PBT so much as it gives up PBT's wear resistance in exchange for light transmission.

How It Compares
Sets in this price bracket split into PC shine-through and PBT. The decision rule is simple: PC if you want it to glow, PBT if you want it to last.
| Axis | This set (PC, Cherry) | PBT double-shot, similar price |
|---|---|---|
| Light transmission | High; the whole cap glows | Mostly opaque; legends only |
| Wear resistance | Shine develops with use | Resists shine well |
| Sound | Slightly higher, harder | Slightly lower, more muted |
| Color options | Gradients and blends possible | Mostly solid or two-tone |
This table describes general material tendencies, not measured values for specific products, but the direction holds. If you plan to run your backlight off, the single best reason to buy this set disappears and PBT becomes the better answer.
If you are building a white or beige desk, the gradient does something solid PBT simply cannot.
dagaladoo also sells a green jade colorway and a 126-key low-profile set. If your board uses low-profile switches, that other set is the one you need — do not pick this one on color alone.
Installation and Feel
The swap itself is easy. Power off or unplug the board, photograph the original layout with your phone, pull each cap straight up with the wire puller, then press the new caps down vertically on the matching row (R1–R4).
Budget roughly 20–30 minutes for a full-size board.
Two things trip people up. First, stabilized keys — space, Enter, Shift, Backspace — will pop their stabilizer wires loose if pulled at an angle; if that happens, just reseat the wire in its housing.
Second, people forget the original layout, especially the bottom-right cluster on compact boards. Take that photo first.
Typing feel stays close to stock because Cherry profile matches most factory caps. PC is a hard material and wall thickness varies between sets, so pitch can shift slightly.
Honestly, if sound is your goal, foam mods and switch swaps do far more than keycaps do.
Before You Buy
1. JIS boards may not be fully covered. ANSI-oriented sets often omit JIS-specific keys and use a different Enter shape.
The compatibility notes here are key-count based, which is not the same as confirmed JIS support. Verify with the listing photos.
2. PC shines faster than PBT. With heavy daily typing, expect gloss on your most-used keys within six months to a year.
That is material behavior, not a defect. If you want caps that stay matte for years, buy PBT double-shot from the start.
3. Without RGB, half the appeal is gone. Shine-through is a lighting effect.
On a board with no backlight, these are simply translucent caps.
4. The color reads differently depending on your board. A beige-to-pink gradient looks close to the product photos on a white plate with warm lighting, and noticeably duller on a black plate with cool lighting.
5. Listing metadata can disagree with the actual product. The price entry is labeled "Amazon US" while the link and currency are domestic — that kind of mismatch happens.
Listing fields such as ASIN and manufacturer are populated automatically and occasionally carry data from a different product. Before ordering, confirm visually from the images and title that you are buying the Beige Jade / clear / 115-key version. The same brand sells a 126-key low-profile set, and mixing them up means caps that physically will not fit.
6. The price is a point-in-time figure. The ￥5,549 quoted here is from 2026-06-20 and will move with sales and exchange rates.
Best Use Cases
- Owners of RGB-backlit MX keyboards who want a softer glow. Translucent PC diffuses individual LEDs into a broad wash. If your stock ABS caps made the lighting look cheap, this is a visible upgrade.
- People building a beige, white, or pink desk. The gradient does something solid PBT cannot, and it pairs well with white cases and peripherals.
- First-time keycap modders. Cherry profile matches stock height so there is no relearning curve, and a puller is included. At the mid-5,000-yen level (as captured), a mistake is not painful.
- ANSI layout users. Fitment certainty is meaningfully higher than on JIS boards.
Who should skip it: anyone typing all day who hates key shine, anyone tuning acoustics seriously, anyone on JIS who wants every key replaced, and anyone who keeps their backlight off. In those cases a similarly priced PBT double-shot set will make you happier.
FAQ
Q. How do I confirm these fit my keyboard? A.
Pull one existing cap and look at the switch stem. A cross-shaped (+) post means MX-compatible and these will fit.
An oval or proprietary shape means low-profile or unsupported.
Q. Can 115 keys cover two keyboards? A.
No. The count fills one 104-key full-size board plus odd-width spares for compact layouts.
Think of it as one board with options.
Q. PC or PBT? A.
Depends on your goal. PC for clean backlight transmission, PBT double-shot for wear resistance.
No material does both well.
Q. How long does installation take? A.
Around 20–30 minutes for a full-size board. Photograph the original layout first so you can restore it.
Q. What is the review score? A.
As captured on 2026-06-20, Amazon.co.jp showed 554 reviews at 4.3 out of 5 stars (86% positive).
Scores change, so check the current listing.
Q. Can I wash them? A.
Polycarbonate tolerates water, but not heat — avoid boiling water and dishwashers. Soak in lukewarm water with mild detergent and dry completely before reinstalling.
