How to use this prompt

Keyboards are the worst case for text in image generation: a hundred tiny glyphs, every one a chance to render nonsense. "Blank keycaps" plus "no legends" removes the problem entirely, and blank sets are a real enthusiast product, so nothing about the shot looks contrived. "Spherical profile" is the term that gets the sculpted, dished retro cap shape rather than flat laptop chiclets. Light must rake from one side — it is the only way the brushed aluminium and the individual cap sculpt separate from each other. Keep the backlight faint; turn it up and the amber glow blows out the cap colours you just specified.

Variations to try

Switch to a bright daylight flat-lay from directly overhead with a pastel keycap set on white oak
Show it mid-build: switches half populated, a switch puller and loose caps in a small tray
