Not everyone loves typing at a keyboard all day, especially if it's at a job where nothing much happens and the water cooler chat is drier than the Gobi Desert. Wouldn't it make everything more exciting if you were typing away on your keyboard and looking down on Pikachu, Gengar, Bulbasaur, and Psyduck looking back up at you?

These Pokémon keycaps from Dwarf Factory caught my eye because they're kind of like the ultimate 90s collectible for 90s kids who are now working adults (or pretending to be at any rate). Spotted on Yanko Design, the design work on these keycaps is amazing, with each piece allowing light from backlit keyboards to shine through to show off the Pocket Monster within.

Each Pokémon is cast in resin and set in an SR1 profile keycap, which will work with pretty much any mechanical keyboard that uses Cherry MX switches. They're currently sold out, however, but when they come back in stock, you'll need to set aside $44 per Pokémon.

Dwarf Factory also have some slick Yu-Gi-Oh keycaps that I can't get enough of too. Check out the detailing on this Dark Magician keycap; it's absolutely unreal!

If you need present ideas in the meantime while these Pokémon keycaps come back into stock, then check out our list of our favourite Pokémon gifts to please any Pokémaniac!
