Custom keycaps transform a keyboard from a tool into a statement. The Masterpiece Flames of Effort keycap set is a collaboration between CelestClub and ADDICE Inc. that brings anime-inspired flame artwork to your daily setup — not as a novelty, but as a premium fullset designed for daily use with proper legends, complete layout coverage, and materials that won't shine or fade over months of gaming.
Design Philosophy & Artwork
The Flames of Effort design draws from the anime aesthetic of determination and intensity — flames that represent the grind, the effort, the hours of practice that competitive players put into their craft. The colorway uses deep blacks and vibrant orange-red flame accents that pop without being garish, creating a set that looks stunning in both natural light and RGB-lit setups.
Unlike novelty keycap sets that sacrifice readability for art, the Flames of Effort maintains clear, legible legends on every key. The flame artwork is concentrated on modifier keys and the spacebar, while alphanumeric keys use clean typography that you can actually read during use. This is a set designed by people who actually type on their keyboards.
Material & Manufacturing Specs
| Material | PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) |
| Profile | Cherry profile |
| Legend Type | Dye-sublimation |
| Thickness | 1.5mm walls |
| Set Size | Fullset (130+ keys) |
| Stem | MX-compatible cross stem |

PBT vs ABS: The Flames of Effort uses PBT plastic, which is significantly more resistant to developing shine. PBT maintains its textured, matte surface for the life of the keycaps. The dye-sublimation printing process bonds the ink into the plastic itself, meaning legends cannot wear off — ever.
Cherry profile is the most popular keycap profile among competitive gamers and typists because of its low, sculpted shape. It's compatible with south-facing LED PCBs (like the LUMINO75 and LUMINKEY65) without interference issues.
Keyboard Compatibility
The Flames of Effort is a fullset — meaning it includes enough keycaps to cover virtually any keyboard layout from 60% to full-size, including non-standard bottom rows, split spacebars, and ISO layouts.

Will these keycaps fit my keyboard?
If your keyboard uses MX-style switches (Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, JWK, etc.), these keycaps are compatible. The fullset includes keys for all layouts.
Do PBT keycaps develop shine?
PBT is significantly more resistant to shine than ABS. Most users report no visible shine after 12+ months of daily use.
