How Do You Feel About The Deep Ocean Or Spanish Cured Ham?

- Koh Wanzi

This is me gushing about keyboards again. But this time, I want to talk about the mind-boggling selection of custom keycap sets available today. A keyboard is so much more than just a drab tool that you bang at every day, passive-aggressively telling Susan from accounting that you’re “reattaching the report for her convenience”. It’s a statement piece that speaks as much about you as the outfit you wear. It deserves to be paired with a matching mousepad, a custom hand-made cable, and yes, that one very special keycap set that you picked out.

Are you using one of those plastic, grime-encrusted, membrane monstrosities that came with your company PC? That thing belongs in the bin. Okay, I’m kidding, but I really want to direct your attention to the geekhack forums and the selection of keycap group buys available there.

Maybe you’re a fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Perhaps you like the sea and the roiling of the deep blue waters. Or maybe, you just really like jamón iberico. Believe it or not, there’s a set inspired by each of these things.
