KKB Stubborn Charm
Akita Neru Inspired Keycaps

I hope you like it.

Info
This set is inspired by Akita Neru which is a fanloid of Hatsune Miku. I was listening to Flop Era recently and decided to make keycaps inspired by her

Base Kit price is unknown yet but, I will be asking KKB for a quote of how much they base kit etc are going to be.
Remember to fill in the IC form (IC Form Here) Asking for feedback etc

Actively seeking for vendors




Current Kits and Prices
MOQ is most likely going to be 250


(Base Kit)



(Numpad Kit)






Photos of the Renders on boards

Coming soon!



People I would like to thank in my journey of keycaps and keyboards:
Hali, That random guy on the Archlinux vc that i met, PJ from Aiglatson studio, ImperfectLink, Dingo, Spiked Synapse, Bessly, kinokoconnect, Koro, 0asxn aka Norific and my art teacher.

Btw if you are wondering wtf are these pics doing here well, they were old pics.

While I do like the set. This does seem like commenting for the sake of getting a foot hold in the community so that your post gets noticed. Maybe I'm wrong though.

I am sorry. I didn't intend to make an impression like this. I just wanted people to see the project. I also want to get this keycap set up and running as fast as I could. Also I am just at the age of 17. I have been in this community when I was 14. Perhaps I still have more maturing to do. My parents are willing to help me with this project and many others that I have met online. Sorry if my impression is bad. I am gonna take this as a lesson for me to calm down and take it easy is what my friends online and irl always tell me to do. I am already in contact with keykobo and they are willing to make this project happen. I have also contacted a KBDFans employee and they suggested me to make an IC first to see how the keycap does. Call me too young however you want but that will not stop me from doing this project that I love. If I still can't be forgiven, fine. I will try better next time and not spam in other people's posts. I know I still need to learn how to mature. I want this project to happen before 2026 or before I go to what the school calls the residentials atleast. It is where we stay in this big mansion that our school has for 1 week. I want to have a good computer to play games and also make more 3d modeling stuff when I am there for 1 week. So I will try to get this project to be real however I can. I wanted to rush through things but, I guess that led to a bad impression. Sorry guys. So please, I ask for your forgiveness if not, it's up to you really. You are your own person, I don't control who you are really. That is up to you. I am atleast glad that I got feedback like this now so I don't have to do it when I am older. So I appreciate that. Thank you.

I'm not saying it to be a keyboard warrior, it just raises some eyebrows for me personally. He shouldn't have to feel the need to apologize, it's not something wrong.

I think the colour is nice. However, I fail to comprehend how it is inspired by the Character you said your inspiration comes from. The Grey alpha is out of nowhere. The Yellow Orange-ish mod, I assumed inspired by the yellow hair, is not the same shade. The black shirt should be like dominant is now only the accent? Pink is not to be seen? Without considering the character as the inspiration, I think the colour is pretty nice. However, I fail to understand how the inspiration works, not to mention it lacks the novelty to make the connection between the set and the character.

I would like to apologize for my past behaviors and I will try to not do them again. I am just a teenager afterall learning about life. I would like to thank people for helping me with this. I love the keyboard community. Many people are nice here. It isn't like a community that I was in before this. I am glad to have people giving feedback about things to me so I can correct myself. Thank you and I hope you like it.

I think it would be best if I stop doing keycaps for now until I get older without the worry about spending way too much money etc. To all the people that supported me in my journey thank you. I might come back with this keycap set but with a slightly different look and a different name from this one here. Until then, I might try to give a shot in keyboard designing  and see how that goes. For the keyboard I will just spend the rest of 2026 to make it good or maybe until it is ready to what I think is perfect for it.

I can maybe consider RAL if i want to make keycaps etc. I am still deciding though of what to do really.

I don’t know what’s up with people these days...
Back then, the community was more welcoming, constructive, encouraging and fun.

DONT EVER let people drown your passion and dedication! Those qualities are what truly drive this hobby forward.
Stay focused on your vision, keep refining your design, and don’t let the noise detract from your momentum...

I am looking forward to seeing your updates and final version for this project.
If you need advice on anything, feel free to reach out, in public or private.

Thank you man. I really appreciate it. I am still trying to consider if I should sell keycaps or keyboards instead. I might try to do both if I could. I am still considering of getting ral and the gmk keycap color samples irl. The colors of the keycaps rn if people are wondering are n6 yellow ws1 white cr black 2b gray. Other than that, I wish this community was like how it was inn 2020-2023 those were the best years imo for custom keyboards. I wish I can help this community to become something other than a graveyard but, it will be hard since some of the damage that the community has rn is gonna be hard to fix from what I am thinking and hearing. I might try making a Koishi themed custom keycap set and a pink theme. But for now I might focus on my decisions of what I want to do next.

I've seen a lot worse. Give the kid a break.  Any new input should be welcomes. If the IC has issues, then help the dude to sort them out instead of making him feel bad.

There's a growth opportunity here and I'm glad that you posted. I sent over some feedback already and I wanted to comment to let you know that I appreciate you taking in the feedback and reflecting upon it.

I think with some more revisions and mucking about with board renders, you could improve this set and create a few form to see if those improvements are enough to warrant a group buy :D

I am thinking of maybe focusing on keyboards more than keycaps now since the moq of making boards are way lower than the moq of keycaps from what I see and think. But for now, I have a school trip to go to Hua Hin which is another province of Thailand 🇹🇭  so renders will maybe be coming out once I am done with the trip, I will maybe make board renders by the. I am thinking of selling keycaps once I get older. I already have one in mind but I think it would be best executed when I am older since I would not have the need to be in my parents hair when it comes to this financial stuff with keycaps etc. I have heard from someone that selling ke6caps can be hard these days. I know that same goes for boards but I see less risk of losing money for that. I guess if I want that MacBook or claw 8 ai handheld, I'll have to wait when I get to college. If anyone is interested on the caps I might be working on renders of it still for a bit then going into keyboards themselves. I have been in the keyboard community when I was 14 and am passionate. I agree I do rush things. Even people in real life have said this to me. I will try to take it easy etc. The next keycap set will be based on Koishi from TouHou and for this one, I am thinking of using gmk and using signature plastic colors. So yeah keyboards for now and keycaps in the future. Wish me luck people.
