“Thocky” sounds and cool fingers: I used ceramic keycaps for a week and loved every click

If you’re new to mechanical keyboards, paying over $100 for a set of keycaps (not even the full keyboard, just the keycaps) might sound like a lot. After all, you can get a complete pre-built keyboard for less. 

I was skeptical, too, when I first heard about Cerakey’s cool-to-the-touch ceramic keycaps. Cerakey is the first — and maybe only? —  brand to offer keycaps made of ceramic, the same material your favorite mug is made from.
