The Beginnings.
Once upon a time I had a nice IQUNIX keyboard.
Then I spilt water on it while streaming... so I needed another keyboard

The Process
First off I had to get my hands on a set of ceramic keycaps. Fortunately (or perhaps that was the only reason why I went on this journey) Cerakey had been selling full sets of ceramic keycaps. I enquired and received within 2 weeks after my first enquiry.
Glazing them was a bit tricky as the glaze didn't want to stick. But using a very high staining glaze, like Amaco's Ancient Jasper and Oatmeal did the trick.
The longest part of creating the keyboard was actually putting it together which ended up taking me 6 hours.

All in all I was very happy with the outcome!
I hope that I'll get the time to create another keeb. I already have the idea of creating one inspired by the ocean. With a casing also made out of ceramic.
For now I will enjoy (not) spilling coffee and eating snacks next to my keyboard.
