<p>I’ve been watching <a rel="external" href="https://www.cerakey.com/">Cerakey</a>’s products for a while. The sheer idea of mechanical keyboard caps being made out of ceramic sounds intriguing.</p> <p>The stock caps on the <a rel="external" href="https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k6-wireless-mechanical-keyboard">Keychron K6</a> I use at the office or when traveling haven’t been doing well for a while:</p> <ul> <li>Multiple keys’ paint started coming off. Less of an issue for finding the keys (I know where they are), more of an aesthetic issue.</li> <li>The G key’s switch stem broke off and got stuck in the G key cap. After failing to extract the broken part from the cap, the cap was essentially lost and I replaced it with a generic translucent cap from a switch tester.</li> </ul>
