The Design

Every design decision behind Kilozed traces back to the ZX81 and Timex Sinclair 1000. The legend design, placement, and overall layout are directly inspired by the original machines, creating a keycap set that feels faithful to their character while being refined for clarity, readability, and modern everyday use.

Kilozed is designed for MX low-profile switches. Its uniform profile creates a consistent feel across the keyboard, while the matte surface adds grip and comfort during long typing sessions.

The result is a keycap set that feels instantly familiar to retro computing enthusiasts, while remaining comfortable, reliable, and practical for daily use.
