MW Datenshi brings a fallen-angel palette to a MilkyWay keycap set
Designed by Minisofu, the PBT set draws on TUYU with dark gray, red and purple-tinted off-white. proto[Typist] lists a £61.67 base kit, a November 16 UTC deadline and estimated Q1 2027 shipping.
Announcement date: October 26, 2026
MW Datenshi, a keycap set designed by Minisofu and manufactured by MilkyWay, is being offered through a group buy at proto[Typist]. The base kit is displayed at £61.67 GBP in the checked storefront, with orders closing on November 16, 2026 at 23:30 UTC. Shipping is estimated for Q1 2027.
The project takes its visual direction from TUYU and the music video for “Being low as dirt, taking what’s important from me.” According to the product description, the palette comes from the ending’s fallen-angel imagery: dark gray and red sit alongside an off-white with a purple hue.
What gives Datenshi its identity?
The promotional render places pale alphas against darker modifiers, with red accents picking out keys such as Escape, Enter and the spacebar. Angel imagery extends the theme onto the matching deskmat designs, giving the set a narrative beyond a simple two-tone arrangement.
This is a Minisofu design made by MilkyWay using dye-sublimated PBT in a cylindrical Cherry profile, with MX-style switch support. The retailer describes the colorway as inspired by TUYU.
Group-buy details
Alongside the base kit, the listing offers Novelty, Numpad, Spacebar, 40s, Alt Alphas and Norde kits, plus Fallen Angel and Sunset deskmats. These are separate selections; the base-kit price does not include every add-on shown in the promotional images.
The product page lists regional vendors including monacokeys, ktechs, Mecha, KeebzNCables, Unikeys, proto[Typist] and Divinikeys. The dates and displayed price reported here are from proto[Typist] rather than a claim that every vendor has identical conditions.
