Keyboards are one of the easiest parts of your PC gaming setup to really dial into your own style. First you get to choose what kind of feel you're after, whether you want something specifically for gaming(opens in new tab) or you're a die-hard mechanical(opens in new tab)deviant. There are even analogue solutions like our favourite gaming keyboard the Wooting Two He(opens in new tab), for those who really want to feel their keys. But the choices don't end there.
Artisan keycaps(opens in new tab) are a great way to go that extra distance in keyboard customisation. They range from the very simple, like these G-Skill caps that let more light shine through(opens in new tab), to the truly terrifying, like these finger-hungry T-Rex caps(opens in new tab). Sometimes hardware companies even come out with their own bits of keyboard bling like these RTX ON caps from Nvidia(opens in new tab), or the tiny GPU keycap released by Asus(opens in new tab).
But the biggest problem with all of these solutions is that they're weak. Sure, a Kerbal-themed keycap might look cute(opens in new tab), but it's also safe, boring, and uninspired. Buying sweet keycaps off the internet may be fun, a great way to support small artists, and stylish, but where's the risk? Where's the adventure? Where's the permanent destruction of property you were trying to enhance?
That's why I'm glad someone with some keyboard balls has finally decided to show their face to the modding community. Redditor lady_renari(opens in new tab) has posted this frankly so-good-it's-upsetting glitter mod video to help inspire us all. Finally, a challenger who knows what they're doing and has a little sense of daring has appeared.
