This could be quite good.
On May 15, 2026, “TacType,” a seller of zirconia ceramic keycaps, updated its official X account to announce the release date for its white keycaps.
The launch is set for May 19 at 10:00 AM UTC-4, which converts to 11:00 PM on May 19 Japan Standard Time.
This release includes two types—White Glossy and White Matte—and each is available in both blank and legend versions.
Black Glossy and Black Matte are scheduled to go on sale after June.
TacType is an emerging brand offering keycaps made with zirconia ceramic.
On the official site, they’re introduced as “World’s first zirconia ceramic keycaps,” featuring a harder feel, satisfying weight, and a ceramic-specific texture unlike typical ABS/PBT keycaps.
They also announced a launch celebration sale, with a special price available for three days starting on the release date.
The sale period will run for three days from the release date, scheduled to end at 11:00 PM on May 22.
In addition, thanks to a partnership between Greenkeys and TacType, a $5 off coupon is available for readers. It can be used on orders of $59 or more, and it can be combined with the launch sale.
Greenkeys has published an early review of the product.
TacType Ceramic Keycaps lineup and pricing
TacType Ceramic Keycaps are available not only as a full set, but also as split kits such as TKL, 60%, alphas, and modifiers.

An emerging brand using zirconia ceramic
A major feature of TacType Ceramic Keycaps is that they use zirconia ceramic.
When it comes to ceramic keycaps, Cerakey is widely known as a leading option.
Cerakey V2 uses industrial-grade alumina ceramic and sells a 114-key full set for $140.
TacType, on the other hand, uses zirconia ceramic, with pricing set at $74 for the Full Kit, $59 for the TKL Kit, and $39 for the 60% Kit—making it easier to try ceramic keycaps.
If Cerakey is the brand that helped expand the ceramic keycap category, TacType can be seen as a brand offering a new option through its zirconia ceramic material and more approachable pricing.
Differences from Cerakey
| (data) item | TacType | Cerakey V2 |
|---|---|---|
| Main material | Zirconia ceramic | Alumina ceramic |
| profile | Cherry Profile | Cherry Profile |
| Stem | PC Plastic | ABS Plastic |
| Full set price | $74 | $140 |
| feature | Zirconia material, Glossy/Matte, side-printed legends, approachable pricing | A leading ceramic keycap brand with a wide range of colors |
Unlike Cerakey, it doesn’t offer a wide range of colors, but it does have strengths typical of a newer brand—side-printed legends, a PC stem seemingly adopted to improve overall light transmission through the keycap, a smooth surface finish, and an easy-to-buy price range.
Available in two finishes: Glossy / Matte
TacType Ceramic Keycaps come in two surface finishes: Glossy and Matte.
Glossy offers a smooth, polished feel, while Matte offers a more subdued texture created by sandblasting.
The legends are side-printed, keeping the top surface clean while maintaining readability.
The official site explains that the side-printed legends are resistant to wear and won’t fade or peel off.
Designed with backlight transmission in mind
TacType says it keeps the keycap thickness uniform at 1 mm to maintain durability while also considering backlight transmission.
It’s not the kind where the legends shine through like typical shine-through keycaps, but it’s also notable that you can enjoy a look where light softly diffuses through the ceramic material.
