Full throttle nostalgia

Inspired by the iconic Gulf racing livery and the timeless IBM Selectric, this doubleshot ABS keycap set brings together two engineering legends in a colorway that feels every bit as striking today as it did decades ago. Powder blue alphas, vivid orange accents, and carefully selected cream highlights create a set that captures the spirit of speed, precision, and mechanical excellence.

Racing colors that earned their place in history

The heart of SA Motorsport Selectric is its unmistakable palette. The BFJ blue alphas draw directly from the powder blue made famous by Gulf-sponsored race cars, while OBR orange accents deliver the same high-visibility energy that stood out on championship-winning machines. Cream WFV accents provide balance throughout the set, evoking vintage racing roundels and period-correct design details. Together, the colors feel instantly familiar to motorsport enthusiasts while remaining remarkably fresh on a modern keyboard.

A tribute to the Selectric era

The influence of IBM's legendary Selectric typewriter can be found throughout the design. From the color blocking to the typography and novelty selections, the set celebrates a machine that transformed office communication through engineering ingenuity. It's a fitting companion to the SA profile, whose sculpted rows and spherical tops carry the same sense of mechanical purpose that defined the Selectric itself.

Doubleshot ABS with enduring character

The SA Motorsport Selectric is molded using doubleshot ABS plastic, permanently embedding each legend within the keycap itself. The process produces crisp legends, vibrant colors, and the smooth surface finish enthusiasts have associated with classic SA sets for years.
