I’ve fallen in love with ceramic keycaps and built two very heavy but very satisfying keyboards with them. But now I crave for more.

One thing that I find somewhat disappointing is the fact that I never found any other vendors besides cerakey for ceramic caps. It’s not that I don’t like them, but I could go for other styles and layouts given the opportunity.

The other thing is that I would like to explore other materials. I’ve found wooden caps, again only from exactly one vendor and stainless steel caps by yet another single vendor.

What I would much rather try out are aluminum and glass, both materials I could imagine being pretty great for typing.

And maybe there are other options I haven’t even considered yet?

Give me your best shops/stores with rare materials caps, I’m really interested!

    Most plastic keycaps are ABS or PBT, also vintage ones. But there are some white on black double shot cherry profile POM vintage keycaps as far as I remember. You would have to find them on ebay or something or research on which boards they came in order to get em.

    edit: I just look it up, it seems you can buy POM keycaps new. The vintage one just stuck in my head for some reason.
