At Keycapcap, we believe that even the smallest object on your desk can carry immense emotion, taste, and soul.
As a brand dedicated to high-end artisan keycap design and craftsmanship, we never treat keycaps as simple accessories. For us, they are miniature artworks, tactile sculptures, collectible pieces, and creative expressions — the closest point of contact between you and your everyday digital world.
Whether you are a keyboard enthusiast, a desk-setup lover, an art collector, a designer, a gamer, or simply someone who appreciates beautiful things, we hope you find a world of keycap art here that truly belongs to you.
Our Beginning: It All Started With One Keycap That Wasn’t “Good Enough”
The story of Keycapcap begins with our founder’s years-long passion for mechanical keyboards.
For a long time, we searched for keycaps that felt genuinely unique — something crafted with intention, something with character, something more than mass-produced plastic.
But we found that most keycaps were either too industrial, too generic, or too lacking in soul.
What we wanted was simple to describe but difficult to find:
a keycap that looks like art, feels like a crafted object, and transforms the atmosphere of an entire desk the moment you place it on a keyboard.
So, in a tiny 15 m² workspace, we began experimenting:
- hand-polishing ceramic
- testing different firing temperatures
- studying metal engraving
- collaborating with independent artists
- learning resin coloring and curing techniques
What started as a personal search for “a beautiful keycap” slowly grew into a mission to create collectible, high-quality, meticulously crafted keycaps.
And from that passion, Keycapcap was born.
Why We Commit to Making High-End Keycaps
People often ask us:
“Is it necessary to make a keycap that complicated?”
“Why put so much effort into a functional accessory?”
To us, a keycap is never just a keycap. It represents:
- your taste
- your identity
- your creativity
- your passions
- the way you communicate with the world
A keyboard is one of the objects you touch most frequently every day.
And the keycap is the first tactile point of contact.
If something accompanies you for hours every day — shouldn’t it be beautiful?
That is why we insist on premium materials, handcrafted processes, and artistic integrity.
Premium Materials: Carefully Selected for Craft, Texture, and Meaning
To create keycaps with true depth and character, we work with materials rarely used in mainstream production.
Each material carries its own technical challenges — and its own unique beauty.
1. Ceramic Keycaps
Ceramic offers a warm touch and natural texture that plastic can never imitate.
But it is also one of the most difficult materials to craft:
- high risk of cracking during firing
- exact dimensional precision required
- fragile edges needing careful refinement
- glaze color experimentation
- extended hand-polishing time
Each ceramic keycap is not only a product — it is a testament to patience, technique, and handcrafted dedication.
2. Metal Keycaps
We use stainless steel, aluminum alloy, electroplated copper, and other metals, sculpted through CNC precision machining.
The weight, coolness, and industrial beauty of metal bring a unique aura to the keyboard.
Every metal keycap typically takes one to three days from cutting to polishing.
3. Anime Keycaps
For anime-inspired designs, we collaborate with illustrators, sculptors, and miniature artists to incorporate characters, symbols, and thematic elements into microscale creations.
This includes:
- three-dimensional sculpting
- multilayer hand painting
- UV-resistant coating
- resin sealing and finishing
Each anime keycap feels like a tiny diorama brought to life.
4. Custom Keycaps
Our custom service is one of our most beloved offerings — and one of the most challenging.
You can participate in:
- material selection
- color mixing
- shape drafting
- engraving details
We transform your personal ideas into a real, physical, handcrafted keycap.
Our Design Philosophy: Not Just “Beautiful,” but Meaningful
The Keycapcap design team is composed of creators from backgrounds including:
- industrial design
- product engineering
- sculpture
- illustration
- handcraft arts
And we share one belief:
If a keycap cannot stand out on a desk as a centerpiece, it isn’t ready.
We follow a few internal principles when designing:
- Function must coexist with artistry (compatibility and durability matter)
- Aesthetics must express attitude (not random decoration)
- Materials should feel natural, not superficial
- A keycap should evoke emotion
- We don’t follow trends — we create style
This is why our releases consistently spark conversation and become favorites among enthusiasts around the world.
Our Craft Process: Each Keycap Passes Through Over 20 Steps
Although we do not pursue mass-production manufacturing, we pursue repeatable, controlled, high-level craftsmanship.
A typical keycap goes through:
- sketching
- 3D modeling
- mold refinement
- material preparation
- shaping
- high-temperature firing or CNC cutting
- hand-sanding and polishing
- painting and finishing
- texture treatment
- surface protection
- quality inspection
- fit testing
Complex anime or sculpted artisan designs may involve 40+ steps.
Why do we spend so much time on a single keycap?
Because you are willing to invest in quality.
And we are willing to deliver it.
