Jelly Key comes back strong with two more keycap series we look at today. The first is a cute retro TV series invoking a golden era of imagination and first visitors, and the second dips into mythology by paying homage to dragon legends. Both are good examples of intricate, hand-finished designs that truly make them artisan.

These are very very cool :laugh:

I really really like them but i wouldnt buy them. They would need to be for a very specific and clean looking keyboard build.

WTF am I even looking at?

I admit that the quality of those is amazing. It's just... that... WHY?

Benchmark Scores What's a "benchmark"?
Jewellery for a keyboard. Pure decadence. If Marx was still alive he would probably shake his head in disapproval.
In all honesty though, judging from the photos, the quality is impeccable, even if you need good eyesight to appreciate it. Not for me since I'm strictly a "function over form" person, but great for someone who has a very particular vision for a keyboard. I wonder how much does the added weight impact typing speed, especially on a 6.25u space bar, but I guess it's not the main concern for artisan items.

I guess the answer is the same as the reason people put fancy rims on their cars or superfluous unicorn barf RGB all over their PC, because they think it looks nice.

As for these, I agree, the quality and designs are really nice, but you'd need a themed build to properly appreciate them. For me I'll stick to simpler alu novelties like the ones offered by Rama or Salvun, they offer a better balance between bling and functionality I think
