Artisan keycaps, often referred to as artisan keycap sets, are nothing like your standard cheap plastic type. They are not meant to be just a replacement for an everyday set (though some folks will do this at great expense), nor are they simply a linchpin to a computer build environment (though some of them might do that too at great loss). Instead, they are an expression of a personality, a linchpin of a computer build, an abode of your favorite art or game, or even a reflection of a cultural or geographic taste. The list of possible characteristics goes on as one might imagine, but the most important thing to remember is that they are all built around one central idea: Each keypad is designed as a piece that goes with one hand, or in close proximity to the user if using a laptop.
