XVX White Ice Crack Ceramic Keycap Set

A 120-key Cherry-profile set kiln-fired from 95% Al₂O₃ industrial-grade alumina ceramic, finished in a translucent ice-crack glaze. Each cap carries a randomly fractured crackle pattern — no two sets, no two keys, are identical.

In the Tradition of Crackled Porcelain

Ice-crack (冰裂纹) glazing is a classical Chinese ceramic technique dating back to the Song dynasty Ge and Ru wares — celebrated for the way each kiln firing produces a unique, unrepeatable fracture pattern across the glaze. The XVX White Ice Crack set translates that craft tradition onto a keyboard surface: each cap is fired individually, and the cracks form naturally as the glaze cools.

This isn't a printed graphic or an embossed texture. Every line you see is a real fracture in the glaze layer.

Up Close - The Crackle Surface

The crackle pattern is finer at the top of each cap and webs out across the sides. A subtly translucent porcelain finish lets the texture catch light without rainbow-shifting like a backlit cap.

Before You Order - Please Read

1. The Crackle Pattern is completely random: Crack effects form naturally as the glaze cools. Slight variations in glaze thickness cause meaningfully different crackle patterns from one cap — and one set — to the next. No two sets are identical. If you need uniform, repeatable graphics, this set isn't the right choice.
2. Surface may have minor raised spots: Strong crackle effects require a thicker glaze layer. As the glaze fractures, the cracked surface can have small individual raised points, and spacing between caps is tighter than standard plastic sets. This is a property of the technique, not a defect. If you're sensitive to perfectly smooth keycap surfaces, please consider carefully.
3. Do not clean with alcohol or solvents: The caps have a protective coating designed to prevent sweat and skin oils from filling the crack gaps. Wiping with isopropyl alcohol, acetone, or any solvent-based cleaner will damage that coating. Use a slightly damp soft cloth for cleaning — nothing more aggressive.
