High-profile SA set in a steel-blue and cream colorway with a space-exploration theme. Designed by u/nickhimself and produced by Signature Plastics through Drop; the sculpted SA profile creates a dramatic stepped appearance and a distinct high-pitched typing sound compared to Cherry-profile sets. A gateway set for enthusiasts exploring tall-profile keycaps.
