This unique café offers a space to enjoy a delicious cuppa and dive into building your own custom keyboard.

If you appreciate the tactile and aesthetic joys of mechanical keyboards, you'll probably find it hard to leave without running your fingers over the keys for those calming ASMR sounds. From tables to walls, you'll find an impressive collection of mechanical keyboards in various shapes, sizes, and colours.

The café also collaborates with talented keyboard designers and keycap artisans, offering a range of unique creations inspired by beloved characters from popular Japanese anime, adorable capybaras, and even mahjong tiles.

You'll learn what makes a mechanical keyboard produce those soothing rhythms, along with tips and tricks for modifying a keyboard. This hands-on "Mechanical Keyboard Workshop" is perfect for beginners and welcomes kids, individuals, and even corporate teams looking for a unique bonding experience.

And of course, you can test out different keyboard options to find the perfect sound and feel for your typing pleasure. At the end of the workshop, there'll be a typing test to ensure your custom-made keyboard is in working condition.

The workshop typically lasts about two and half hours and the basic fee is priced from RM30 to RM68, excluding the boards, keycaps, and switches.

Besides that, you can unleash your creative streak and personalise your keyboard with their "Artisan Keycap Workshop". Using Jesmonite, an eco-friendly material, you can craft your own keycap that reflects your personality and style. Whether you want a functional keycap, a quirky keychain, or a fidget toy, expert instructors will guide you every step of the way.

For RM49, you can take home your one-of-a-kind creation with all materials and tools provided, and a refreshing complimentary drink during the workshop.

And because building a keyboard can work up an appetite, the café also offers a delectable selection of desserts, from pies and croissants to kefir and specialty drinks.
