Coral Oasis artisan keycaps
In this Groupbuy, we’ve got keycaps in these sizes: 1u, 2u backspace, 2.25u enter/left-shift, 2.75u right-shift, and 6.25u spacebar. You can choose from SA, Droplet, Naked (great for Cherry profile), and art toy.
The Groupbuy closes on September 12th, but we might close early if we hit our limit. We want to deliver on time with the best quality, so don’t wait; the designs in our Groupbuy are sold only once, and there will be no re-releases.
It is an actual aquarium experience
Because it’s cast as a solid piece, the transparency effect is going to look amazing on a keyboard with LEDs. But that’s not all—you’ll feel like you’re looking into a vibrant coral reef aquarium, full of life, especially under UV light.
Breaking the boundaries of meticulous craftsmanship
At Jelly Key, people often associate our work with meticulous attention to detail—that’s what defines us. Each time we create something new, especially within an established theme, we don’t just repeat ourselves; we push the boundaries further. This product is no exception.
For this particular keycap base, while we’ve already crafted some of the most satisfying designs at Jelly Key, we weren’t content to stop there. This time, we cast the resin twice. The first pour captured the fine color details. With each layer, we reduced the drying time by 3-4 hours, ensuring the colors remained in a semi-dry state. This allowed us to add another layer seamlessly, creating an effect that feels almost transparent. The way these colors shift and blend results in keycaps that aren’t just beautiful during the day—they’re a masterpiece under UV light, glowing in the dark. The second casting, done after the base had fully dried for 26 hours, added more color highlights to bring out finer details.
We took on an extreme challenge by expanding our color palette to 25-32 colors. Across 5 different keycap sizes (1u, 2u, 2.25u, 2.75u, and 6.25u), our artisans worked meticulously, blending colors to create contrast and depth. Even the tiniest details—like 1 mm fish, anemones, starfish, and coral—have been sculpted with the same precision as the larger elements, such as coral reefs, bigger fish, and octopuses. The level of detail ranges from 1.32 mm to 12.33 mm, all intricately executed.
Now, let’s talk about the octopus—the star of this creation. Every octopus has been meticulously cast with multiple layers of color, ensuring each one achieves a rich, nuanced look. We used a special layering technique to preserve the vibrancy and clarity of the colors, giving each octopus its own unique visual effect. This marks a significant leap forward in the technical innovations we’ve been striving for at Jelly Key.
With this project, we wanted to capture the sensation of gazing through diving goggles beneath the ocean. To achieve this, we enhanced the resin’s transparency, extending stirring and drying times to ensure that no bubbles would form. Combined with the expanded color range, we believe this is one of the most visually striking collections Jelly Key has ever produced.
