Shanhai Series Ceramic Keycap Set B – Function Row & Modifiers for Mechanical Keyboards

Elevate your custom keyboard build with the Shanhai Series Ceramic Keycaps. Designed specifically for the function area and modifiers, this "Set B" collection combines the ancient allure of ceramic artistry with modern mechanical keyboard performance. Crafted by CeraKey, these keycaps provide a typing experience that is physically cooler, heavier, and more resonant than traditional plastic alternatives, transforming your workstation into a tactile masterpiece.

Key Benefits

Premium Ceramic Construction:** Unlike standard ABS or PBT plastic, these keycaps are made from high-grade ceramic. This material offers a unique, smooth texture and a substantial weight that produces a deep, satisfying "thock" sound with every actuation.

Uniform Light Transmission:** Engineered for enthusiasts who love illumination, the ceramic material allows for even and soft light diffusion. Your keyboard's RGB or white backlighting will glow through the caps with a refined, misty clarity rather than the harsh glare often seen with thin plastic.

Exceptional Durability:** Ceramic is naturally resistant to the "shine" caused by finger oils over time. These caps maintain their matte-to-semi-gloss finish and structural integrity through years of heavy use, remaining fade-resistant and easy to clean.

Ergonomic R1–R4 Profiling:** The set includes keys sculpted at various heights (R1, R2, R3, and R4) to match the natural curvature of your hand, ensuring that the function row and modifiers remain comfortable during long gaming or typing sessions.

Artistic Color Palette:** Available in multiple sophisticated colorways, the Shanhai series allows for deep customization, matching your desk mat, case, or personal aesthetic perfectly.

How to Use

1. **Check Compatibility:** Ensure your mechanical keyboard uses switches with a cross-shaped (MX) stem.

2. **Removal:** Use a wire keycap puller to gently lift your existing plastic keycaps vertically off the switches.

3. **Orientation:** Identify the row height (R1–R4) printed or molded on the keycap to ensure it is placed in the correct position (e.g., Esc is typically R4).

4. **Installation:** Align the ceramic keycap stem with the switch and press down firmly and evenly until it is fully seated.

5. **Lighting:** Turn on your keyboard's backlight to enjoy the "even light transmission" effect.

Care & Safety

Handling:** While ceramic is incredibly hard, it can be brittle. Avoid dropping the keycaps onto hard surfaces like stone or tile to prevent chipping.

Cleaning:** Use a microfiber cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild electronic-safe cleaner to remove dust or fingerprints.

Installation Caution:** Do not force the keycap if you feel extreme resistance; ensure the stem is perfectly aligned before applying pressure.
