Manufacturer Introduction:
MetaKeebs spent over a year developing their custom electro-capacitive dome molds—designed to replicate the bounce and responsiveness of vintage HHKB Hybrid Type-S domes. These domes offer a premium alternative to Deskeys or Niz at a significantly more accessible price point. Feedback from the community so far is excellent.
Product Description:
Experience the iconic Topre feel—your way. The MetaKeebs EC Domes provide a consistent, premium typing experience in four carefully tuned weight options. Manufactured from high-quality silicone, each dome is precision-molded to deliver clean rebound, smooth compression, and crisp return.
With 88 domes per pack, these are ready for full-board builds, no cutting or trimming required unless putting them in a smaller case. Choose the exact weight profile that fits your build:
-
25 g (orange): Ultra-light, fast-rebounding, Niz 35g alternative
-
35 g (rose red): Lively yet soft—ideal for all-day typing in comfort
-
45 g (red): Closest to HHKB Type-S snow domes—balanced and neutral and just a touch softer than HHKB Pro 2 experiences
-
55 g (gray): Firm and resistant, for those who prefer deeper push force more akin to aged Topre
Important Preorder Note:
These domes are currently available via preorder. Stock is en route and expected to arrive within 7 business days. All orders will be dispatched immediately upon arrival. Due to issues with MetaKeebs' own checkout system, we are releasing them prior to receiving the stock to support Metakeebs.

🗣️ What the Community’s Saying About MetaKeebs Domes
Snappy. Consistent. OEM-like. Feedback across the board has been overwhelmingly positive—especially from experienced Topre users and HHKB purists:
“Feels 80–90% similar to HHKB snow. Has a snappy feel, unlike the squishy mushy feeling of other aftermarket domes.” — Zuck
“Material is firm and has a nice feeling—really close to OEM. Not mushy at all, and no flatness like I sometimes get with Deskeys.” — r
Users consistently praised the smooth actuation, premium material feel, and outstanding consistency dome-to-dome:
“160 WPM with the 55g—never managed that with Deskeys. Every dome feels the same.”
“These are very, very close to OEM 45g… buttery snappy. Slightly louder but better sounding.”
“The 45g is a great option if your old OEMs feel worn down. These feel sharper, cleaner, and have no harshness.”
The value is also a huge draw:
“At the price, this is a solid deal for anyone looking to get OEM-like domes without breaking the bank.” — r
Whether you’re running a stock Realforce, modded HHKB, or full EC build, MetaKeebs domes offer a near-OEM experience, tuned for the community:
“If you’re after that rounded, non-harsh Topre feel without the OEM price, these are a no-brainer.” — Josh
