The art of keycaps customization can sometimes extend far beyond the cost and details of the keyboard itself. Oftentimes, keyboard enthusiasts are very eager to find new and exciting ways to customize their typing tools, so they are always on the look for a new approach. The company Jelly Keys has updated its very detailed set of keycaps to reflect the ancient belief of dragon existence and showcase the art of keycap crafting in a totally different way. When we first heard about Jelly Key, we reviewed some of their custom keycaps featuring retro 8-bit thematic and fishes frozen in acrylic. You can check out more about that here.

For those looking for a different aesthetic, the company has gone with a different route and is hosting offer a group buy for a dragon-inspired keycap collection called Dragons of Eden: East Sea’s guardians. Featuring an interesting theme of ancient beliefs, the company has hand crafted small dragon figurines, and put them in polished acrylic that showcases these powerful customized hand-crafted creatures, essentially captured in a small keycap. As an artisan product, it is very detailed. Note also that the group buy is the only way to purchase these, should you be interested. Below are the options offered by the company, listed in sizes.

  • 1u – Cubic profile
  • 1u – SA profile R1
  • 1u – SA profile R3
  • 1.25u – SA profile R3 – “Ctrl/fn/Alt/Win”
  • 1.5u – SA profile R3 – “Tab/|”
  • 1.75u – SA profile R3 – “Caplocks”
  • 2u – SA profile R3 – “Backspace”
  • 2.25u – SA profile R3 – “Enter/Left-shift”
  • 2.75u – SA profile R3 – “Right-shift”
  • 6.25u – SA profile R3 – “Spacebar”

It must be noted that neither of these keycaps comes cheap. A simple 1u keycap will set you back starting at $49 and only grows from there. A complete set with all available keycaps is offered at $560, which includes a 10% discount and free shipping. As with any artisan product, the price is rather high due to the crafting hours and the level of details that goes into the creation of this product. The group buy is open for another ~12 hours as of this writing, so better hurry up if you want to get any of these custom keycaps for your keyboard.
