Keycap maker Signature Plastics has announced it’s being acquired by a Portland-based investment group led by a member of the mechanical keyboard community.

Signature Plastics, the Custer, Washington-based company known for specialized mechanical keyboard keycaps, has announced it’s being acquired by a Portland-based investment group that intends to keep the company operating with all employees maintained. This comes after majority owner Bob Guenser announced his plans to retire and find new ownership back in January.

While Clark has already joined SP’s leadership team, the acquisition will not be finalized until 2025.
