A Little Warmth on Your Desk

Stubby Silhouettes & Warm Sketches

STAGE 01: THE INSPIRATION

The Gift Kitty didn't start in a computer, but on my living room floor in Kyoto. Watching my two munchkin cats—with their short legs and delightfully "sturdy" square bums—I realized they looked just like little walking gifts. I began sketching them as living boxes of joy, adding a signature ribbon to symbolize the precious gift of companionship they give me every day.

Perfecting the Square, Pixel by Pixel

STAGE 02: THE VIRTUAL SCULPT

Translating a "fluffy square" into a functional 1U keycap required digital mastery. In this stage, I meticulously sculpted the Gift Kitty’s proportions to ensure the signature bow sat perfectly atop its head without interfering with your typing. This digital canvas is where I "breed" new coat patterns, using 3D color mapping to ensure every Siamese mask and Calico patch is anatomically adorable.

Bringing the "Glow" to the Fur

STAGE 03: THE HAND-POLISH

A 3D printer can create the shape, but only my hands can give it a soul. After the color printing is complete, each Gift Kitty undergoes a rigorous hand-refining process. I sand down every edge of the "gift box" until it feels as smooth as a pebble and touch up the tiny eyes with a delicate brush. When the light hits that final hand-applied gloss, the Gift Kitty is no longer just resin—it’s a tiny, breathing thank-you note to all cat lovers.

Important Note

Material & Handling

This keycap is made from resin, not ordinary plastic.
Resin allows for fine details and soft colors, but it is more delicate than standard keycap materials. Please handle gently and avoid drops or strong impact.

Compatibility

Designed for mechanical keyboards with Cherry MX–style cross stems.
Not compatible with low-profile switches, capacitive keyboards, membrane keyboards, or laptop keyboards.

Care Instructions

To keep your keycap looking its best, gently wipe with water or alcohol wipes when needed.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and excessive heat.

Why "Handcrafted" still matters.

The Hand-Finished Promise

Technique may evolve, but my commitment to craftsmanship never changes. As an independent creator, I personally oversee the refinement of every single piece. From removing tiny imperfections to ensuring the perfect tactile finish, this manual process is where the soul of the character is truly awakened. Sincerity is, and will always be, the most important ingredient.
