Unlike commercial keycaps that come standard with a keyboard, artisan keycaps are created in small batches or as one-of-a-kind pieces. They are made using a wide range of materials such as resin, wood, metal, and clay. Each keycap is handcrafted through a multi-step process that includes mold-making, casting, and painting, resulting in a unique piece of functional art. Artisan keycaps are highly sought after by enthusiasts of mechanical keyboards and gamers alike. They are used to replace the standard keyboard keycaps, adding a touch of customization and personality to an otherwise uniform keyboard. Artisan keycaps are easily interchangeable with standard keycaps, making it easy to switch out designs depending on preferences or mood.
