Serene Industries has finally pulled the veil off its long-anticipated Icebreaker keyboard, featuring a 65% design with the main chassis and keycaps constructed entirely from Aluminium. The main body is CNC-machined using a solid block of 6061 Aluminium, shaped in a rather unconventional wedge design. Now available at their online store, the Icebreaker will set you back $1,600, but most of this cost is due to the intricate design process and aesthetics.
Custom mechanical keyboards nowadays, especially ones made of Aluminum, cost around $100-$200. They're generally pretty sturdy and sound impressive. What makes the Icebreaker stand out among other luxurious keyboards is its unorthodox design and Aluminum keycaps, which cost $415. Serene Industries explains that the keycaps had to undergo about 800 micro-perforations to allow for visible legends and RGB light functionality. Moreover, the minimalistic design embellishes the overall look, lending it a slight retro feel.
