A Keyboard Fit for a Whale Song: Bao’s Custom Mechanical Build
At goblintechkeys, we’re all about turning keyboards into something meaningful — whether for creators, companies, or passionate communities. This time, we had the incredible honor of printing the custom keycaps for a beautifully handcrafted mechanical keyboard made for VTuber Bao 🐳 — and it's one of our favorite collabs to date.
The Build: Solid Purpleheart, Resin Art, and Personalized Keycaps
This showstopping board was made by @woodkeyboards, using solid Purpleheart wood, known for its deep, natural purple hue. Every detail on the case — from the engraved resin whale motif to the flawless finish — was tailored to reflect Bao’s oceanic theme and bubbly persona.
To complete the build, custom artwork was featured on keycaps:
We used high-definition dye sublimation printing on premium PBT keycaps to ensure the artwork retained its original charm and detail, while being durable enough for everyday use.
Custom Keycaps for Creators and Brands
This build is more than a keyboard — it’s a story. One that resonates with Bao’s identity and her fans.
And that’s exactly what makes custom keyboards such a powerful tool for:
- 🎥 VTubers & streamers looking to create unique merchandise or personal setups
- 🧑💼 Brands & agencies wanting eye-catching, premium corporate swag
- 💻 Tech teams interested in giving their team something both fun and functional
Rather than defaulting to generic merchandise, why not give something people actually use — and love?
