- Each keycap, regardless of size, comes in a handcrafted wooden box.
- Our keycaps are handmade using resin casting and multi-layer coloring, not 3D printed. They are designed for comfortable daily typing, with raised walls protecting the character area, ensuring no finger contact. They are slightly taller than the Cherry profile but shorter than the SA profile, perfect for display and versatile use.
- We offer one-on-one replacements for defects caused by our team. Contact us for assistance.
This is the best LED-backlit support collection I’ve ever created. Each keycap and size features a unique LED diffusion effect. Once you see the results, you’ll understand why we designed such complex windows.
Each keycap size features distinct details, enhancing the overall intricacy of the keyboard. Take a look at the two images below: one showcases different window designs that might seem similar from a distance but are entirely unique upon closer inspection, adding realism to the scene. The other image highlights miniature characters, standing just 1.2mm tall. Explore the images of various sizes and colors to discover more fascinating details.
8-bit Enigma Keycaps bring the charm of retro 2D pixel art into a modern, handcrafted masterpiece. Inspired by the nostalgia of classic 8-bit games, each keycap tells a story through its vivid colors and intricate details, blending the past with the present in a way that feels both familiar and refreshingly new.
The creation process begins with precision hand-casting each layer of resin. Every colored segment on the 8-bit base is carefully poured and left to cure for 16 hours to ensure crisp, distinct hues that never bleed together. Selecting the perfect color palette and adjusting visual effects requires unwavering focus and creative persistence, bringing depth and vibrancy to every tiny pixel-inspired detail.
The miniature windows, measuring just 0.4 to 1.2mm, are the result of weeks of research into architectural styles and artistic design from the past. These resin-cast windows feature unique effects that evoke the charm of old pixel screens, shimmering with nostalgic allure while adding a new layer of visual storytelling.
The collection also includes over 40 meticulously crafted characters and accessories, ranging from 1.2 to 5.7mm in size. Each piece is individually cast and securely bonded to the base using resin, forming a cohesive, seamless structure. A single spacebar can house more than 20 unique elements, with every tiny figure and prop adding depth, emotion, and a narrative of its own.
I chose not to cover the keycaps with a clear resin layer, allowing the details within to remain vivid and tangible. The keycap edges are designed to be high enough to protect the delicate interior elements from everyday use while maintaining a sleek and visually striking profile. This balance of durability and artistic expression keeps every piece timeless and enduring.
8-bit Enigma Keycaps are more than just keyboard accessories—they are a fusion of memory and modern craftsmanship. They revive the beauty of retro pixel art with a fresh, bold approach while maintaining a sense of refined elegance. Once placed on a keyboard, the intricate details become a signature statement, turning each keystroke into an experience that is personal, artistic, and undeniably captivating.
