YMDK DSA Profile Blank 61 64 68 ANSI Keyset Thick PBT for Cherry MX GH60 XD64 GK64 Tada68 Review (2026)

DSA profile explained

DSA is a uniform, spherical keycap profile where every key is the same height and shape regardless of row, unlike sculpted profiles such as Cherry or OEM that angle each row differently. That uniformity is popular among users who like to remap keys freely, since a key pulled from the number row and placed on the home row will feel identical rather than sitting at an unfamiliar angle. It also gives DSA sets a distinctive low, flat look compared with the taller stepped profile of stock keyboards, which some builders prefer purely for aesthetics on a minimalist compact build.

Blank legends and thick PBT

This set ships with no printed or molded legends at all, a style chosen by builders who want a completely clean, minimalist look or who have already memorized their layout and no longer need printed characters as a reference. YMDK builds the set from thick PBT, listed at roughly 1.5mm, a material that resists the shine and wear that thinner ABS keycaps develop after months of regular typing. Buyers just starting on a new keyboard layout, or who frequently lend their board to others, should weigh the learning curve that comes with unlabeled keys before choosing a fully blank set. That trade-off is worth weighing against the clean, uncluttered look many builders specifically want from a blank set.

Named board compatibility

The listing specifically names compatibility with the GH60, XD64, GK64 and Tada68, a group of well-known open-source and enthusiast PCB designs commonly used in 60 and 65 percent DIY keyboard builds. Naming these specific boards removes much of the guesswork that comes with generic compact keycap sets, since builders can confirm ahead of time that their exact board's key layout and spacebar spacing will be covered. The set is offered across 61, 64 and 68-key configurations, matching the common variations in bottom row and arrow cluster layout found among 60 percent boards.

Fit limitations to know

Because this set targets compact 61 to 68-key boards specifically, it is not intended for tenkeyless or full-size layouts, and builders with a 75, 96 or 100 percent board should look at a different YMDK set sized for those layouts instead. As with most keycap-only listings, this set ships without a keyboard, switches or a puller tool, so those need to be sourced separately for a complete build. Buyers should also double check their PCB's exact bottom row split, since 60 percent boards vary in how many keys make up the spacebar row even within the 61-key size class.

Who should buy this set

This set is well suited to builders assembling a GH60, XD64, GK64 or Tada68-based compact keyboard who want a minimalist, legend-free DSA look and do not mind the learning curve of blank keys. It is also a good match for anyone who likes remapping keys often, since every DSA key feels identical no matter which row it sits in. Buyers who need printed legends for reference, or who are building a tenkeyless or full-size board, should choose a different, larger YMDK set instead. Buyers who split their time between several boards may also appreciate that a fully blank set never looks mismatched or out of date when swapped onto a different compact layout later.
