Cerakey Lacquered Ceramic Keycaps – Rhino-Skin Edition Review

  • Copied the URL !

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.

As described below, it took a long time to produce because it was created by hand.

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.

We are affiliated with Cerakey, but it really hit me by accident!

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

The product name has been changed to “Lacquered Ceramic Keycaps – Rhino-Skin Edition” at the time of pre-order starting August 1, 2025. Rhino-Skin” means rhinoceros skin. The content has been modified to reflect this release.

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.

The 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.

[Photos] Cerakey Lacquered Ceramic Keycap Set Review

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!

I 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…!

summary

This is a review of the Cerakey Lacquered Ceramic Keycap Set.

Well…to be honest, I did not expect the actual product to be as beautiful as it is.

I didn’t expect such a shiny gold color… I’m glad I got it.

This keycap set is fully loaded and is available for “pre-order” starting August 1, 2025.

Deadline is August 31, 2025.
