How to use this prompt

At macro distance a keycap's appeal is texture, and texture only shows under raking light, so the prompt runs "soft studio light raking across the textured PBT surface" — the shallow angle is what makes the PBT grain visible instead of a flat plastic sheen. Naming PBT matters: it signals the slightly rough, matte finish enthusiasts want, versus glossy ABS. Keep the depth of field shallow so neighbouring keys dissolve; a sharp full keyboard turns it into a catalogue shot. The cross-shaped switch stem at the edge is the enthusiast tell — include it, but as a supporting detail, not the subject.

Variations to try

  • Switch exploded — the switch housing, spring and stem laid out in a row
  • Artisan keycap — a single handmade resin keycap as the hero
