We're just a small studio taking our first steps into international markets. Because of the language barrier, we have to rely on AI for translation, so some things may not come across quite right, we appreciate your understanding.
At our studio, we don't just focus on keycaps; our core passion lies in precision metal engraving across various bespoke projects. However, I’ve recently been obsessed with the challenge of bringing that same high-level metalworking into the world of mechanical keyboards.
These are our latest titanium commissions. Every piece is hand-carved, with 24K gold wire meticulously inlaid, leveled, and re-engraved.
It’s been a fascinating transition—taking techniques we usually apply to larger metal art pieces and scaling them down to the size of an MX-stem keycap. The detail density is insane, but the tactile feel of cold titanium and solid gold under your fingertip is something that truly feels "end-game."
I’m curious to know what the community thinks: does this blend of traditional metal art and modern keyboard culture resonate with you?
A friend of mine runs a small artisan keycap studio, and today I got an invite to visit and watch the process up close.
The keycap is fully handcrafted metal, and the decoration is done through gold wire inlay — not gold leaf like I initially assumed. The artist uses incredibly fine tools to carefully hammer and press gold wire into the engraved grooves of the design, filling them section by section until the gold forms a solid, seamless surface. Once trimmed and finished, there are absolutely no gaps — it just looks like the gold grew there.
The subject is an anime portrait, and watching those fine hair details slowly come to life in real gold wire was genuinely hard to look away from.
I had no idea this level of handcraft existed in the keycap world. Sharing here because I figured this community would appreciate it more than anyone.
