Batch 1.5 is estimated to ship end of Q4 2024.
Designed by maxvoltar in collaboration with the set, the X-Ray artisan pushes the limits on the transparent theme with a modular design.
The bottom is made out of machined aluminum with a white powder coating and features some infill details to add a subtle pop of color. The top is delicately machined polycarbonate, held in place with an M1.6 screw. The result is an artisan you've never seen before, a perfect match for the X-Ray keycaps.
X-Ray Keycaps / Overview
X-Ray is a keycap set that features a clear-on-white, low-contrast design, paying tribute to transparent tech peripherals. Inspired by these devices, these translucent keycaps highlight the internal structures and construction properties that define them.
From certain perspectives, these keycaps almost appear blank. Yet, when any directional light source shines on them, it casts shadows, revealing the depth of the legends.
Bauer Lite: X-Ray Edition
Designing a special edition Bauer Lite for the X-Ray collection was a no-brainer. The qualities of injection molded plastic make it the perfect medium to produce a clear-on-white design that complements the X-Ray keycaps flawlessly.

“The design for X-Ray Collection comes from a combination of three things: the nostalgia (and resurgence) of the transparent tech trend from my childhood, my current obsession with translucent polycarbonate keyboards, and my appreciation for minimal design aesthetics.”

The artisan stands out as a unique piece in the X-Ray keycaps yet remains minimalistic enough to compliment many other keycap sets. The quality and detail are really noticed seeing it in person.
