Today we look at something different; a keycap set! When I first spotted them, I immediately suspected they had great sound potential, and they look awesome to boot. It was supposed to only be a sound test, but I guess I couldn't help myself and did a mini-review as well. Hope you enjoy the video! :)

I'm Thomas and I do videos and reviews on mechanical keyboards ranging from the most sickening modern RGB gaming keyboards to vintage hardware relics, or sometimes keycaps or keyswitches ranging from Cherry MX to Alps SKCM to IBM buckling springs and anything in between.

The practice sentence was: "Hello my name is Thomas and I'm typing on a Cerakeys keycap set right now. This is one of the most interesting, perhaps THE most interesting keycap set I've ever covered, I wish I'd done this sooner! This is very interesting, to say the least!"

The ding sound some of the keys make is pretty cool sounding!
-
2:15 That's a consequence of the shift key coming into contact with the key next to it. I own 2 sets of these keycaps. One set also does this.
-
Holy shit, that typing sound demo is crazy. love it.
-
Thanks for sharing this great video featuring our blue crazed ceramic keycaps! 🥰
-
It took me forever to find a video with someone using a clicky switch and not linear or tactile 😩 THANK YOU

0:28 The ‘cracked and glazed’ thing sounded like a backronym to me, to be honest. I hauled out the old OED and I see that “To break (a thing) so that the parts still remain contiguous ; to crack.” for ‘craze’ goes back to Chaucer while “To produce minute cracks on the surface of (pottery)” goes back to at least the 1870s or 1880s.

My oh my, this is the video I have been waiting for to confirm whether or not I should pull the trigger on a setup like this. Cerakeys + Clickiez + NCR80 will be the way forward. Thomas, you have cost me a fortune, in the best way possible!
-
Did they mention if they do any unglazed keys, I have a background in ceramics, and this really intrigues me. A set of Porcelain keys high fired without glaze would be really cool to see. It has a natural velvet luster finish and has a fine gritty feel. Idk if that would impact typing but it would be really cool to see. ahhhh! cheers for the vid <3
-
Shoutout to you for doing this with clicky switches. I love them!
-
I've been really curious about these for awhile, good to hear they'll replace the caps if the stems are misaligned. The sound they make is fascinating though, great video.
-
NGL those sound amazing... also want to second the 8bitdo keyboards are great your review pushed me over the edge and I bought one.
-
Awesome video! I love that you do reviews for everything keyboard related. Ceramic keycaps seem like a good idea if executed properly. I'd be interested if it weren't for the high price but if they're ever able to lower it I think people would be more receptive
-
Your voice is soothing and engaging. Subbed.
-
It’s been a very long time since I’ve been this early to a Chyrosran video!
-
Really did these keycaps justice! They make my boards have a much more deep, rich sound due to the, hate to say it, "thocc" of the keycaps with some accompanying "creaminess". Absolutely magnificent keycaps and worth the price in my opinion!
-
"Crazed" or "Crazing" is also a technical term in the plastics industry for the type of spiderweb-cracking you see on stressed plastics like Acrylic. (like if you put an acrylic water pitcher in the dishwasher).
-
Ceramic keycaps look like a game where the texture failed to load in correctly. Certainly different and unique 😆
-
very nice video chyrosran, im a big fan ! hello from cuba
-
This is the first time I watched the typing demo to the end.
-
