It finally arrived.
Do you remember the crowdfunding for the new ceramic key caps on INDIEGOGO, which was held from November 14, 2023?
The crowdfunding deadline was December 15, 2023, and the product was scheduled to ship in May 2024, but it arrived in 2025, about eight months late.
In Japanese, it is called “Chinese lacquer color” and in English, it seems to be expressed as “Lacquered”.
In fact, at the same time as this crowdfunding, Cerakey ran a giveaway campaign on X. My personal entry was selected and arrived yesterday.

It was so beautiful that I will review it in a bit.

What is Cerakey Lacquered Ceramic Keycap Set?
The Cerakey Lacquered Ceramic Keycap Set is a traditional Chinese lacquer process on a ceramic keycap.
Each pattern is different as each is done by hand.
Looking at the manufacturing process, you really make each one by hand.
KawamuraThe crowdfunding price was pretty good, but looking at this work, it is rather inexpensive. As you can see from the price of HHKB’s lacquered key caps, this keycap is worth that much.
The lineup includes the following seven types
This is wonderfully artistic.
This time I received a D-set of JADE.

Let’s take a look at it in pictures.
It came in a box like this.
The appearance is so beautiful that the box alone is enough to raise your spirits.
I can’t get enough of this swell!
KawamuraI would like a desk mat with this pattern.

I was a little disappointed that the tray was scratched, but the contents were fine.
The four that were included were R1ESC, R2 Enter, and R4 – four.
Because they are made by hand, you will see that each one has a different pattern.
It is a little hard to tell from the photo, but this gold-colored part glitters depending on the way the light hits it.
Like this.
This is really beautiful.
The stem is, of course, of V2 specification (plastic stem), which allows for smooth insertion and removal to and from the key switch.
Let’s actually attach it to the keyboard as an Artisan Keycap.
The keyboard used is the Gravity36, released by Greenkeys.
The key profile is Cherry, so it can be used as an accent key for a wide range of keycap sets.
This luster and golden gleam is just gorgeous itself.
It is an enchanting keycap to look at.
I want all the colors…!
