Drawing inspiration from Viking lore, each metal keycaps are plated with copper, silver, and gold, followed by a special aging process to give them a battle-worn, historical look. The three colorways are named after Viking gods: ThorFrigg, and Odin.

The keycaps are crafted with a timeless aged metal finish that replicates the look of ancient Viking weapons. The vintage textures give the keycaps a battle-worn, legendary aesthetic, reminiscent of Viking artifacts. 

The novelties vividly capture iconic symbols from Viking culture and mythology, such as the Tree of Life, Viking longships, Odin’s ravens, the Fenrir Wolf, and the mighty Viking warriors..

Besides the classic Latin legend, we also have the set in Runes Only Alphabets Version and Runes Sublegend Version for a deeper Viking touch.

Each gemstone pack contains 5 keycaps in the same color, and  you can choose one color from 4 available options.

Awekeys brings you the perfect blend of style and sustainability. Our metal keycaps are crafted from eco-friendly recycled Cupronickel, a material that ensures exceptional durability. These keycaps not only reduce waste and preserve resources but also offer a premium, long-lasting typing experience.

Comparing to traditional plastic keycaps, metal keycaps produce a deeper, more subdued sound when pressed. This not only reduces the overall typing noise but also offers a more refined and satisfying keyboard experience.

The Viking Antiques Series in three layout options: 60%, 80%, and 100%, allowing users to choose the configuration that best suits their needs. 

Unlike the conventional bottom row with a 6.25U spacebar, the Tsangan layout uses a 7U spacebar, creating a more symmetrical and balanced look for your keyboard. To cater to this unique layout, we’ve developed a dedicated 7U Spacebar Addon Pack, specifically designed for keyboards with the Tsangan bottom row. This addon ensures compatibility and enhances the overall aesthetic and functionality of your Tsangan-layout keyboard.

In addition to the standard and Tsangan layouts, we’ve also developed what could be the world’s longest metal keycap: the 10U Spacebar. The 10U Spacebar is reminiscent of a long sword embedded within the keyboard, perfectly capturing the legendary spirit of Norse myths. This keycap is designed to be compatible with keyboards featuring the Tsangan layout only, providing an even more unique and legendary touch to your setup.

For the first time, Awekeys is offering expanded language support. In addition to the standard ANSI QWERTY layout, these keycaps feature 7 new legends options, giving international users more customization options.
