Noctua and luxury keyboard and audiophile designer website DROP create a specialized Noctua-based keycap set for mechanical keyboards. This unique keycap set combines Noctua's signature colorway with DROP's continual focus on design and function.

Noctua and DROP collaborate to create the DROP + MiTo MT3 Noctua keycaps for mechanical keyboards, offering style and functionality

DROP's latest keycaps set plans to be a fan favorite for PC and keyboard enthusiasts. Partnering with global cooling component manufacturer Noctua, the new DROP + MiTo MT3 keycaps set has the colors and quality of build from both companies. The new group is a collection of caps and kits to match the classic colorway found on Noctua's famous cooling fans.

Sporting beige alphas and brown modifiers, the new keycaps set will fit with almost any Noctua product. Designed by MiTo and made from Doubleshot ABS, the new keys are durable and resistant to fading from long-term use. Its MT3 scooped profile keeps fingertips focused for long typing sections, similar to how Noctua's cooling fans keep users' systems cool.

Noctua's title is derived from the scientific name of the owl—Athene —a species seen in ancient times and recognized as a symbol of wisdom. Today, the species is known for its smooth, silent flight, which Noctua seeks when they create a new cooling component for computer systems.

Noctua's NF-A12x25 fans, the NH-D15 cooling unit, and more offer premium use, silent running, and smooth functionality. Users can find the company's fans on gaming rigs, commercial data centers, and other PC systems, recognized for outstanding performance and unique beige-and-brown aesthetics. Noctua's owl logo is placed on the company's fans side-by-side.
