A Cosmic Story Told Through Every Key
In a collaboration that blends imaginative storytelling with refined craftsmanship, Thekapco x Nekojin Workshop brings a distinctive artistic universe to the world of mechanical keyboards. Founded in 2019 in Malaysia, Nekojin Workshop has built a name for itself through its cat-themed character IPs and signature stained-glass illustration style—an approach that transforms everyday objects into vibrant, narrative-driven experiences.
At the heart of this collaboration lies Nekojin’s iconic creations: The Little Cat Prince and Catronaut. These beloved characters exist within a whimsical cat-planet universe, now reimagined across a keyboard that serves not just as a functional tool, but as a canvas of cosmic storytelling.
A Signature Stained-Glass Aesthetic
What sets this design apart is Nekojin Workshop’s unmistakable stained-glass visual language. Layered gradients and luminous, glass-like transitions create depth and movement across each keycap. The carefully curated blue gradient palette evokes a sense of calm wonder, while still maintaining a playful, almost dreamlike energy.
Each color layer represents a different planetary atmosphere, turning the keyboard into a visual journey through space. The result is both immersive and refined—balancing bold artistic expression with a clean, usable layout.
Where Function Meets Storytelling
Beyond its visual appeal, the keyboard design is deeply intentional. The F1–F12 function row is transformed into a “meow-roscope” - a clever reinterpretation of Nekojin’s universe that allows users to explore twelve different cosmic perspectives through design.
Signature Nekojin symbols are subtly integrated throughout the layout, adding small moments of discovery. These details ensure that the keyboard reveals more of its story over time, rewarding users with a sense of curiosity and engagement.
A Keyboard That Tells a Story
Thekapco x Nekojin | Catlaxy is more than a keycap set - it’s a storytelling medium, a collectible, and an artistic statement. By merging stained-glass aesthetics with a whimsical cat-planet universe, it invites users to experience something beyond the ordinary.
A keyboard, reimagined - not just for typing, but for wonder.
