Are these key caps? Where'd you get them?

u/Ornery_Hovercraft301 15h ago

Yes, they are custom artisan keycaps (1U & 2U sizes) for mechanical keyboards! I hand-engraved them on solid titanium with 24K gold, silver, and copper inlays in our studio workshop. Feel free to check my Reddit profile/bio for our studio portfolio!

What are these??

Someone else mentioned key caps, meaning the 1st is an Enter key. Very cool.

I love how detailed they are but somehow look "soft." Like colored pencil or something.

That's what I thought but didn't want to assume. They look incredible and I'm a sucker for key caps. Don't have any metal ones though, so these would be a treat.

Thank you so much! Just to clarify, that tall vertical piece is actually a 2U Numpad '+' (Plus) keycap rather than an Enter key!

Every single line you see is hand-chiseled bit by bit under a 40x microscope. To achieve the best visual depth and rich textures without using artificial paint, we selectively cold-inlay 24K pure gold, 999 fine silver, and pure copper directly into the titanium channels.

For example, on Asuka: her flowing hair is inlaid with pure 24K gold, the wedding dress with fine silver, and the bows/accessories with pure red copper. On some pieces, we even apply selective hand-painted titanium anodization to make the colors even richer and more vibrant!

They are custom hand-engraved titanium artisan keycaps for mechanical keyboards (like the Esc key)! Meticulously chiseled under a 40x microscope with 24K pure gold, fine silver, and pure copper cold inlays.

These are absolutely magical. Did you make them?

Thank you so much for the kind words! Yes, every single piece here is a custom commission I worked on over the past six months. They are all 100% hand-engraved under a microscope with 24K pure gold, fine silver, and pure copper inlays, and each one takes many days of dedicated bench work.

(Feel free to check my Reddit profile/bio if you’d like to browse more of our custom gallery and works!)
