Our Story

Do what you love, Love what you do.

Passion

Passion drives everything we do,
and we’ll never stop.

Innovation

Turning ceramic into keycaps?
That’s a crazy idea but we made it.

Teamwork

Together > Solo.
More than collaboration—unity in creation.

Heart

Cerakey: A brand built on care,
backed by honesty.

The Genesis of an Idea​​

The founder was born in a city cradled by 10,000 years of ceramic legacy—where hands shaped clay and fire forged artistry into permanence.


But as tradition faded with younger generations, a question ignited:


"What if ceramics could speak the language of the new age?"
That spark became ​​Cerakey​​—where ancestral mastery meets modern innovation.

Pioneering Where No Blueprint Existed

Crafting ceramic keycaps was a leap into the unknown. Our pioneering attempts faced daunting challenges: high ceramic shrinkage at 1300°C and an unexpectedly high defect rate.

Amid skepticism that "ceramics belong in teapots," we achieved breakthroughs by leveraging alumina-based technical ceramics and years of ceramic expertise.

We effectively reduced the shrinkage rate, enhanced structural integrity, and enabled underglaze RGB lighting through innovative techniques.

Our Journey Begins

Through continuous experimentation and technological improvements, our first product was officially launched.

In 2022, we initiated a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, achieving an outstanding result of $917,715 USD by 5,320 backers.
