Cerakey unveils Premium Lacquer Ceramic Keycap Set, an ultra-premium keycap incorporating lacquer craftsmanship. Priced at $2,200.

Super, premium.

Cerakey has released a new keycap set, Premium Lacquer Ceramic Keycap Set.

Until now, the company has established a unique position as a pioneer of ceramic keycaps, but this time it has combined this with lacquer craftsmanship to create a model with a rather special feel.

The price is $2,200.

The price range is completely different from that of a typical keycap set, but because of this, this product is more of a craft or collector’s item than a “practical” item.

A rather unusual new work, in which lacquer is overlaid on ceramic.

The most significant feature of the Premium Lacquer Ceramic Keycap Set is the combination of ceramic and lacquer.

The official Cerakey page uses the expression “Natural Lacquer & Raden,” bringing to the fore elements of traditional crafts such as natural lacquer and mother-of-pearl inlays.

It also emphasizes that the patterns appear after more than 10 coats of paint and polishing, and that each piece is one-of-a-kind, handcrafted.

In the usual introduction of keycaps, the focus tends to be on materials and compatible sequences, but for this product, it may be easier to imagine it as a “craft work to be placed on a keyboard.

The feeling is that everything is an artisan keycap.
The price is acceptable if the 114 keys are finished by hand.

The price is $2,200. Reservations will be accepted starting March 10.

According to the product page, the price is $2,200.

The first reservation period is from March 10 to April 10, 2026, with shipping scheduled within two months of the end of the reservation period, according to the information.

Note that Cerakey often starts pre-orders in accordance with U.S. West Coast time, and it is likely that this time will also start in the morning hours on a local time basis, or from around 11:00 p.m. to midnight Japan time. *As of March 2026, the U.S. West Coast is PDT (Daylight Saving Time).

As one would expect, the price is not something one can easily afford, but Cerakey itself explains that the complex manufacturing process and high-end materials used make the price higher than the regular model.

This area is no longer like buying a keycap, but more like welcoming a rare piece.

Four colors, imprinted model with 114-key configuration

The lineup that can be confirmed at this time is available in the following four colors

• Flame
• Fireflies.
• Galaxy
• Blue Tears

The configuration is printed, supports standard ANSI layout, and has 114 keys.

The specifications are as follows

• Cherry Profile
• ABS Stem
• Compatible with Cherry MX / MX compatible switches
• Supported layouts: 61 / 67 / 68 / 81 / 84 / 87 / 96 / 98 / 104

Possible interference on north-facing PCB

As a precaution in use, Cerakey recommends the use of south-facing PCBs.

The product has a Cherry profile, which may cause interference on north-facing PCBs.

Problems arising from this point are not covered by the warranty.

The keystroke feel and sound seems quite different from the usual keycaps.

Cerakey’s description of this keycap states

• Silky smooth to the touch
• Feedback with moderate damping
• Deep and rich “thocky” keystroke sound

This is a very appealing point.

Originally, ceramic keycaps have a unique presence that is quite different from that of ordinary resin keycaps, but this time, the lacquer finish adds a unique texture to that, making it a very special keystroke experience.

Rather than simply being an “expensive keycap,” it is more appropriate to look at it as a product that can be enjoyed for its tactile, sonic, and visual qualities.

This is exactly the “Typing Experience” that is being verbalized in the recent Greenkeys.
Interchangeable and enjoyable keyboard experience.

Conclusion｜Products that provide value of long-lasting use for keyboards

These are some of Cerakey’s new keycaps.

Looking at Cerakey’s regular lineup, for example, the company’s CERAMIC KEYCAP SET V2starts at $140 for a 114-key configuration.

In contrast, the Premium Lacquer Ceramic Keycap Set costs $2,200.

The price difference is overwhelming.

Of course, looking at practicality alone, it is hardly realistic, but this new work seemed to have a slightly different playing field for comparison in the first place.

It is the fact that they are given the “value of craftsmanship.

While general resin keycaps are difficult to avoid wear and texture changes with use, this Cerakey combines the stable materiality of ceramic with the gloss and depth of expression that only lacquer can provide.

The appeal of this product is not only that it can be used for a long time, but also that it is worth spending time with.

I am very curious to see how this new product, which has found a new concept of “growing keycaps,” will be accepted in the market.
