What customers say
The Awekeys Viking Antiques keycaps are celebrated for their premium novelty design and exceptional craftsmanship. Customers view these full metal pieces as miniature works of art, deeply impressed by the intricate detail and authentic aged aesthetic. The substantial weight significantly elevates the perceived quality, making them excellent statement pieces. Reviewers consistently note the Viking motifs look even better in person. While the design and build quality are triumphant successes for enthusiasts, the high cost positions them as luxury accessories.

Overall, this set delivers unparalleled visual flair for those prioritizing theme and durability.
Know before you buy
No, this is a novelties pack only. It is designed to complement your existing setup, so you will need to provide your own base keycaps and keyboard.
These keycaps are made of solid metal and are not translucent. They are not compatible with backlighting, so light will not shine through the symbols.
Because they are crafted from metal, they offer a significantly heavier, more substantial typing feel. The textured, battle-worn finish also provides a distinct tactile grip compared to smooth ABS or PBT plastic.
Yes, you can enhance the aesthetic by purchasing the optional Gemstone Accent Pack. These inserts are available in Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and Black Onyx to add a pop of color to the Norse symbols.
The Latin option features standard English characters, while Runes Only replaces them with Norse-inspired symbols. The Runes Sublegend option provides both, allowing you to see the traditional English letter alongside the Norse rune.
