Keyreative
Keyreative manufactures the KAT and KAM keycap profiles in PBT, and has become the main alternative to GMK for enthusiast sets. Because PBT resists shine and doubleshot moulding in equal measure, its sets are dye-sublimated rather than doubleshot.

What to know
- Makes
- Keycaps
- Known for
- KAT, a sculpted profile slightly deeper than Cherry, and KAM, a uniform one. PBT that does not develop a sheen.
- Worth knowing
- Dye-sublimation cannot print a light legend on a dark cap without the harder reverse process, so the colourway options are constrained in ways GMK's are not. No official site could be confirmed.
- Who it suits
- Anyone who wants a profile other than Cherry, or who dislikes ABS shine enough to accept softer legends.
- Availability

KATPBT
Keyreative's KAT profile is sculpted, so rows are not interchangeable, and the set is dye-sub PBT rather than ABS, which means the legends are dyed into the plastic and the caps resist shine. CannonKeys gives a 1.7 mm blank thickness, on the thick side for a dye-sub set. Note the kitting: there is no single base kit, so an alpha kit and a mod kit are both needed to cover a board, plus a numpad kit for a fullsize or 1800. No colorway is stated beyond a reference to the CM64 set, so that field is blank.

CherryPBT
Doubleshot PBT in Cherry profile, an uncommon pairing: most Cherry profile doubleshot sets are ABS, and PBT here means the caps should stay matte rather than gloss up. The profile is sculpted, so rows are fixed in place. CannonKeys and Divinikey agree on profile, material and printing, and both list the same four kits, with Divinikey adding a 1.7 mm cap thickness. A 40s kit is included, so sub-standard layouts are covered.
