What is PBS?PBS, short for "Penguin Belly Slide", is a uniform keycap profile- every row has the same height. The profile is designed by Matt3o, and manufactured by Keyreative. PBS uses a combination of a cylindrical front and back with a spherical top scoop. The result is a wide scooped contact area at the top, which enables a comfy and ergonomic typing experience. To learn more about PBS, we recommend checking out our website.

A brief history of the Granite colorwayIn 2014, keyboard hobbyist Matt3o started an IC for a new dyesub keycap set asking the community to vote on what colorway they wanted to see next in a set- Gray, beige, or charcoal. Over 100 votes later, the community spoke, and the gray keyset colorway known as Granite was born.

Based on old SGI Granite keyboards, Matt3o took the inspiration and added some RGB accents and basic ergo support. 11 years, and several successful runs of Granite later, Matt3o has given us the blessing to bring his now classic Granite colorway to his new keycap profile- PBS.
