Gundam Keycap Set in the Classic RX-78-2 Colorway: A Close Look

This Gundam-themed keycap set takes the RX-78-2's red, blue, white, and gray and splits them across a 60% layout: red along the number row, blue over the letters, and white-gray modifier caps printed with mecha panel details. A blue GUNDAM spacebar anchors the whole thing. The photos here show it mounted on a GK60 he keyboard, and the color blocking is the star of the show.

The Color Blocking Does the Heavy Lifting

The scheme works because each row gets its own zone. Red caps run across the entire number row, blue covers QWERTY through the bottom-right letters, and the modifiers step down through white and gray. Nothing has to shout; the separation alone reads as Gundam from across a desk.

The blue spacebar carries a circuit-style GUNDAM print with a “PROTOTYPE” tag on its left edge, echoing the RX-78-2's prototype designation. Blue alpha legends in a stylized, angular font keep the letters legible while staying on theme.

Novelty Caps Borrowed From the Mobile Suit

The left column and bottom row are where the fan service lives. The Esc key wears a portrait of the RX-78-2 itself. A white novelty cap prints the beam rifle with its own spec labels, another mimics the cockpit hatch with twin round vents, and a third carries the “WB 102” White Base caution marking.

Along the bottom row, one red cap recreates the Gundam's shield with its yellow vents and cross emblem, twin red caps suggest beam sabers, and a printed cap shows the RX-78-2 in action beside its Japanese nameplate. Even the modifier legends (CTRL, WIN, ALT, FN) get E.F.S.F.-style framing, so no key feels left out of the theme.

Straight-On View of the Layout

Shot head-on, the set shows how tightly the zones line up: red across the top, blue in the middle, and the gray-white modifier block forming a visual “chest unit” on the left, much like the Gundam's torso armor. The GK60 he badge above the top row finishes off the industrial look.

Editor's Notes & Summary

A Gundam keycap set like this lives or dies on color discipline, and this one keeps its red, blue, and gray zones clean from Esc to right Ctrl. If the RX-78-2 is your reference point, the novelty caps alone make the theme unmistakable.
