I tested the ‘world’s first ceramic keyboard’ and I’m officially converted from plastic for good

The Keychron Q16 HE 8K in light green on a stone surface.

At first glance, the Keychron Q16 HE looks like, well, any other 65% keyboard. Maybe a little glossier than most, I’ll grant, but there’s nothing that gives away any abnormal design elements. As it happens, though, this board is made from the same stuff the ancient Greeks made pots out of. Well, probably not exactly… look, it’s a ceramic keyboard, okay?

So what does that mean? Pretty much exactly how it sounds. The Q16 HE’s case and keys are all made from a ceramic material, painted and polished to a gloriously smooth, glossy finish. And as tacky as I thought it would be when Keychron offered me one to test, I have to admit, I’m a little bit in love.
