These are cool, I really like the coral ones. I don't typically buy myself anything for Christmas, but I might get that coral space bar one. Pretty neat

Unfortunately the group buy model means that you can't purchase the Coral Oases keycaps from Jelly Key anymore- at least not these specific ones. They will no doubt do another design in an year or two and you would then have a week to place your order followed by waiting for a couple of months for them to be made. The group buy going on now is for the lost cities theme. There might be second-hand units or even those simply being put in the market for profit if you absolutely want the Coral Oases keycaps though.

As I've said before, I absolutely cannot bring myself to cough up that much money for a keyboard key. But I do find what they do to be very cool. Most of the themes don't interest me much, but there has been a couple I really do enjoy, the first one shown in this article is among those. Just looks really cool, and I love the little details in it. Really impressive stuff. Way too rich for my blood, but impressive nonetheless.

Dam. that's some serious craftsmanship. Wondering, are they hand made or 3D printed?

Found a video, the "Coral Oases" are even UV reactive:

Everything from Jelly Key is hand made with individually molded pieces.

I wasn't particularly impressed with the concept, for me a key is a key, until I saw this video, the appearance really is striking.

The custom keyboard stuff is a hobby it's not rational. I'm content with just a deck I plug my switches in, gmk or pbt set, avaitor cable. Even that and you're talking about 200 for the deck, about 100 for switches, 60 for the cable, and then the keycaps are another 100 bucks.
