If your keyboard feels old or uninspired, you don’t need to replace the whole thing. With a few smart upgrades, you can make your setup feel brand new — both in look and performance.
Here’s how to take your keyboard to the next level without breaking the bank.
1. Start with Metal Keycaps
Switching from plastic to metal keycaps is one of the easiest ways to elevate your keyboard.
Metal keycaps not only look premium — they also provide a more stable and satisfying typing feel. The added weight enhances control and precision, especially for gamers and typists who value consistency.
Awekeys’ metal keycaps, such as the Copper Eagle Set or Wild Ice Series, offer durable finishes and intricate textures that bring both elegance and performance to your desk.
2. Upgrade to a Metal Keyboard Case
Your keyboard case defines not only how it looks — but also how it feels.
If you’re using a 60% layout, the Branch60 Metal Keyboard Case is the perfect upgrade.
Crafted from high-quality aluminum, it adds rigidity, stability, and a luxurious aesthetic that plastic simply can’t match.
The open-frame design gives your board a lighter, more architectural look — ideal for custom keyboard enthusiasts who value both function and form.
3. Refresh the Switches and Stabilizers
If your keys sound rattly or feel uneven, it might be time to clean or replace your stabilizers and switches.
Even a simple re-lubing session can make your keyboard feel smoother and quieter — giving it that “new keyboard” sensation again.
4. Customize the Lighting
RGB lighting can completely change your typing atmosphere. Pairing cool white or icy blue lighting with Awekeys Wild Ice keycaps creates a stunning glow that highlights every curve of the metal surface.
Final Thoughts
You don’t need to spend hundreds on a brand-new keyboard.
With premium upgrades like Awekeys metal keycaps and the Branch60 Metal Keyboard Case, you can transform your current setup into something that looks and feels truly next-level.
