Hello, fellow keycap lovers! We are delighted to give you another update on our current delivery and production progress of Jelly Key products. Today’s blog covers the latest updates on 3 keycap series: 8-bit, Butterscotch Planet, and Zen Pond III. Let’s get started!
The best news goes first as we have finished shipping all the 8-bit keycaps! For several countries, your packages are probably still in transit but don’t worry; we will update the tracking status as soon as we receive any information from our delivery services.
Our Butterscotch team is still producing these spectacular planets, and we are so excited to say that the first keycap batches of this collection have been sent to the shipping service already. Its production is in progress but we promise you, the whole team is working at their full capacity to have them ready for delivery. Our Jelly Key artists have to utilize their craftsman skills to the very best as this series is very challenging to make, considering a wide range of tiny details inside. To replicate these sophisticated pieces such as self-propelled vehicles, human outposts, energy stations in space, or especially the terrestrial planet’s surface, we have to try out many different materials to make them look as much realistic as possible.
Next comes the Zen Pond III, which might be the most challenging keycaps of all three. The major obstacle we encounter during making Zen Pond III artisan keycaps lies in the selection rate after moulding the Koi fishes. It normally takes up to 10 hours for the fish casts to dry, and we will proceed to remove them out of the shaped moulds. Due to the tiny size of the Kois, this is extremely difficult to do as their fins can be easily broken, not to mention we also have to clean them afterwards. So we have to make a lot of mouldings, reaching approximately up to thousands of Kois. This small size also makes the painting work extra hard and takes more time than usual so that the colour arrays won’t be smudged and stay in the correct position.
Also, because of the large number of size options and colours, our production comes from the smallest to the largest size to keep track more easily. But the good news is, we have shipped the first batches of Zen Pond III keycaps! This is still in progress, but you have our words that they will be finished as soon as possible.

Hi, I will be moving at the end of June because my lease is up… And am still waiting on my Zen Pond III order of course. Do you plan to have all orders fulfilled by then? Or should I co tact you to request a change of address to my future residence? Thank you kindly.
Love you so much <3 I spend a lot of time per keycaps and we work so hard for this GB
Thank you so much for the update. I have been meaning to ask about them for the past week, but I figured I would be patient and see if you would update us. You all at JellyKey are doing a PHENOMENAL job and it absolutely most appreciated. I understand that the koi are extremely fragile and require delicate skills to have them come out perfect. As such, my anticipation for my space bar is through the roof and I know I will be thrilled when it is finally delivered.
I am sorry that there are many others that don’t have the patience or understanding of what it is that your team is doing and why it would take so long…. but I guess that comes with becoming one of, if not the single largest group of artisan keycap makers. Your popularity has blown sky high and the demand for your keycaps is not something I would wish on anyone, as it only brings those in to the fray that do not have an understanding of the process… they just see a product and expect it. So again, Thank you JellyKey for all that you are doing and the constant updates you have been providing. Keep the amazing work up!!!!
All of you at JellyKey are Rock Stars!!!!!
We are shipping in this month, keep patient please, love you.
I am still waiting for my Zen Pond III order
