Frequently Asked Questions
So what makes you different from other companies?
We’re the only B2B company based in the US. We try to make the process as seamless as possible so that you don’t have to do anything. We have a dedicated design team, full QC, and color matching that OEMs do not provide. We work together on creating a concept, we prototype and sample, and once you’re satisfied, we will fulfill everything on our end, or if you want to use a supplier for your store, we can wholesale products that you create with us. We are proud to be the go-to keyboard and desk brand, trusted by the most brands, creators, and companies around the world.
How long is the process and timeline I should expect when creating a collection with you?
The process, on average, takes around 6–8 months from initial design to pre-orders.
Design phase: Usually takes around 2 weeks to 1 month, depending on the complexity and number of products.
Prototyping: Can begin as soon as 2 months, depending on the product selections and complexity.
Pre-orders: Once the prototype is approved, we launch pre-orders, which typically run for 3-4 weeks.
Production & fulfillment: After pre-orders close, production and fulfillment usually take at least 4 months, though this can be longer due to holidays or tariff-related delays.
What type of products do you provide? Is it just keycaps?
How much do your products cost and what can I customize
Check out our catalog for more details.
What if I want a product similar but not exact to a listing in your catalog
That’s perfectly fine! Just let us know your ideas, and we’ll see if we can make it happen. We love exploring new product concepts and bringing your vision to life.
What profiles are the keycaps? Can I choose specific ones?
Our most popular ones are cherry profile keycaps. We also have DSA profiles, but the downside is that there is a higher chance of the legend placement being less accurate
Do you work with independent artists, creators, or only large businesses?
We would love to work with you, especially if you have an interest in creating your own keycap and desk collection. We’ve worked with SEGA ATLUS, COVER, Crunchyroll, as well as creators like Basiilleaf, Slimecicle, Evan & Katelyn, and many more! We have also created and supplied products for independent artists to their e-commerce stores.
What file formats do you accept for artwork?
Check out our catalog for our templates. From pages 21 - 31, at the top right-hand corner, see our templates. For deskmats and keycap products using one image, we can receive high-quality SVG, PNG, and JEPG files.
Do you offer design assistance or prototyping services?
Yes, we do! We can help bring your concept to life using the assets you provide. If you have a specific font or style in mind, we’re happy to incorporate it into the design. Our team will work with you to refine the concept and ensure it aligns with your vision.
What is the resolution requirement for submitted art?
We recommend submitting your artwork in the highest resolution possible. For png/jpegs, 300 DPI at the dimensions of the template/
