Cute keycaps for a cozy desk
A cute keycap is a tiny mood-lifter you see every time you sit down. Each one in this collection is sculpted, painted and cast by hand in clear resin, so the little animal or character inside looks like it is suspended in glass.
Our cutest designs
- Cats: black, brown, grey and brown & black cats, plus lucky fortune cats.
- Dogs: corgis, bulldogs and more pups.
- Water and garden: axolotls, koi fish, butterflies and beehives with tiny bees.
- Characters: Hello Kitty, Chip 'n Dale, Stitch, Winnie the Pooh and Hollow Knight.
Fit and compatibility
These keycaps use a tall SA profile with a cross-shaped MX stem. They fit Cherry MX switches and most MX-style switches such as Gateron and Kailh, but not low-profile switches like Kailh Choc. Most designs are 1U, the size of a standard letter key or Esc, and a few come in larger sizes. New to artisan keycaps? Our artisan keycaps guide covers profiles, sizes and installation.

Cute keycaps FAQ
Which key should I replace with an artisan keycap?
Esc is the most popular choice. Any 1U key works, as long as your keyboard uses MX-style switches.
Do I need special tools?
Just a keycap puller to remove the old key. The new keycap presses straight onto the switch stem.
Is each keycap the same as the photo?
Each piece is handmade, so small variations in paint and resin make every keycap unique.
Are character keycaps official merchandise?
No. Character designs are fan-made and not affiliated with or endorsed by the rights holders.
