Title: [IC] Eye of Horus: The Mysterious Totem of Ancient Egypt on Your Fingertips
Post by: CHAOSERA on Mon, 25 August 2025, 04:30:29
Hello everyone, this is CHAOSERA, today we bring you our second keycap product - Eye of Horus

As one of the four ancient civilizations, the mysterious culture of ancient Egypt has always fascinated people, and ancient Egyptian mythology has always been talked about.
When reading ancient Egyptian documents, the Eye of Horus is always a totem that cannot be avoided - it is both the guardian mark on the pharaoh's scepter and the healing symbol on folk amulets. This "one form with multiple meanings" wonderfully echoes the characteristics of the keycaps: each keycap carries a fixed character, but can derive infinite possibilities in different combinations.

So, based on this idea, we created the Eye of Horus.
The layout of the Eye of Horus is similar to that of the Dark Covenant, with both featuring solid keycaps, transparent keycaps, and large keycaps, totaling 166 keys.
Unlike the stark black and red color scheme of the Dark Covenant series, the Eye of Horus uses more subtle color gradations to recreate the visual DNA of ancient Egyptian civilization.
The primary color palette is an off-white and ochre, echoing the pristine texture of ancient Egyptian stone. The off-white resembles the limestone along the Nile River, imbued with the purity of time; the ochre evokes the textures of the desert and pyramids, bearing the weight of civilization.
Black is added to enhance the visual depth, while a low-saturation gray serves as a transitional color to balance the color tension.
In addition, we have stylized the standard characters, using the form of hieroglyphs as inspiration to optimize the stroke curvature and structural proportions of the font, making it both recognizable and culturally rich.
And it uses ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs as its root, adding elements such as the sun, scarab, and hieroglyphs.

We've retained the classic combination of transparent keycaps and UV printing.
Unlike the paper-cut window decorations of Dark Covenant, the subtle yellow lines paired with the transparent black keycaps create a more premium feel.

The Eye of Horus is also equipped with two large keycaps. Both keycaps use the classic Eye of Horus shape as the visual center and use a variety of colors to restore the mystery and heaviness of ancient Egyptian art.
