Choosing keycaps & artisan keycaps is less about finding one universal winner and more about deciding between a themed novelty kit and a broad XDA set. KAT Cyberspace focuses on cyberpunk graphics, accent keys, and collector-style presentation. Owpkeenthy Retro XDA emphasizes a 138-key format, Coffee Cat color, and coverage for several keyboard layouts. Here is the clearest way to decide between them.
Quick verdict
Choose the KAT Cyberspace Novelties Keycap Set by Keyreative if custom icons, graphics, accent keys, and a dedicated theme matter most. Choose the Owpkeenthy Retro XDA Keycaps if you want a larger named key count, Coffee Cat styling, and the XDA format. The KAT set is the more theme-focused choice; the Owpkeenthy set puts more emphasis on layout coverage and straightforward customization.

Where each product wins
KAT Cyberspace wins on theme and presentation. Its description calls out custom icons, graphics, and accent keys designed to complement the KAT Cyberspace collection. The original tray and retail packaging also give it a more defined unboxing and storage presentation. This is the natural direction for someone building around a cyberpunk visual theme rather than simply changing the look of a keyboard.
Owpkeenthy wins on named layout coverage and color direction. The set is described as covering fullsize, 60%, 65%, and 75% keyboards, giving shoppers a clear reason to consider it for different common layouts. Coffee Cat provides a recognizable visual identity, while the XDA format keeps the set distinct from the KAT profile. Its lower listed price also makes the decision easier when theme-specific novelties are not the main priority.
Product notes
KAT Cyberspace Novelties Keycap Set
This set makes sense when the goal is a cohesive cyberpunk accent rather than a plain replacement: the Novelties Kit includes custom icons, graphics, and accent keys, and the description identifies LLLiam as the designer. The original tray and retail packaging are another concrete reason to choose it, especially for someone who wants the set presented as a collection piece. Its limitation is scope: it is specifically a Novelties Kit, so shoppers seeking a complete base-key replacement may prefer a different type of set. The KAT profile is also a firm preference point and will not suit someone specifically seeking the XDA shape. At $44.00, it carries the higher listed price, so the themed details need to be part of the appeal.
Owpkeenthy Retro XDA Keycaps
Owpkeenthy is the more direct fit for shoppers prioritizing a broad set of named keyboard formats and a clearly defined color theme. The product description covers fullsize, 60%, 65%, and 75% keyboards, while the Coffee Cat name gives the set a specific visual direction. PBT material and dye sublimation are also highlighted, making the construction details part of its appeal alongside the XDA format. The limitation is equally specific: the title frames the set for Cherry MX, and its Retro XDA identity points toward a different design direction from KAT Cyberspace novelty graphics. At $34.09, it is the lower listed price, which strengthens its case when layout coverage matters more than a themed novelty kit.
Final choice by use case
- For cyberpunk styling: Pick KAT Cyberspace for the custom icons, graphics, and accent-key focus.
- For multiple named layouts: Pick Owpkeenthy for its stated fullsize, 60%, 65%, and 75% coverage.
- For XDA: Choose Owpkeenthy, since XDA is its defining profile.
- For KAT profile and novelty presentation: Choose KAT Cyberspace, whose kit is built around that profile and theme.
- For the lower listed price: Owpkeenthy is the straightforward choice, with a $9.91 gap between the two listed prices.
Both sets use PBT, so material alone does not decide this matchup. The real split is themed KAT novelties and packaging versus Owpkeenthy's XDA format, 138-key scope, named layout coverage, and lower price.
