Artkey Universe is a team of artists with a lifelong passion for creating artisan keycaps and more. With endless creativity and a strong belief that life is not supposed to be boring, our mission is to transform your working space into art and beyond.
Now we are on our first voyage into keyboard design. We teamed up with AKB and Mechlovin to produce a truly unique keyboard design that speaks to our design language and philosophy, and we've sprinkled some Artkey magic into the mix by offering some truly unique and special resin parts to pair with your board to take it to the next level!
