DESCRIPTION

Meet Saucebot, your hefty new daily-use brass keycap. A pocketable fidget toy, and a collectible desk buddy for anyone who appreciates tiny metal mascots.

Machined in-house from raw brass bar stock, each piece is CNC'ed and individually vapor-blasted before being hand-aged, patinaed, and polished to achieve a deep, burnished finish. They're machined to be identical and finished by hand to be unique.

Saucebot is designed in the familiar Cherry MX R4 profile, standing 0.423 in (10.76 mm) tall. Its stem is precision-machined for a secure, satisfying fit that keeps the keycap in place as you fidget, but is not so tight that it risks damaging your switch or stem.

Holiday Delivery Window

SauceBot does not ship immediately. All orders placed during our in-stock window will ship on December 18th, ensuring Christmas delivery for U.S. customers using USPS Priority Mail.

We have a limited number of units available for holiday delivery. Once this batch sells out, the product will automatically switch to pre-order with a February ship date. When this happens, the “Add to Cart” button will change to “Pre-Order,” and a banner will appear at the top of the page noting the updated delivery timeline.

VARIANTS

1. Keycap Only: Saucebot Keycap

Saucebot, ready to be your new favorite key on your keyboard.

 

2. Fidget Set: Saucebot Keycap + Switch + Keychain Set

The Saucebot bundle includes a clicky Cherry MX Blue switch that's been modified with a 150g spring lightly lubed with Krytox 105. These springs are chosen to counterbalance the heavy brass keycap, giving the switch a firm, clean press and a steady return. And…because Will just really liked it stiffer!

 

The set comes complete with the tuned switch and a matching aged brass keychain base, machined and finished to the same standard as the main keycap. The keychain also has a dedicated slot for a switch puller, making it simple to remove the included blue switch and drop in any switch you like. If you do replace the switch, we recommend using a minimum spring weight of 80g so your switch returns normally.

// KEYCAPS NOT INCLUDED

Shōchikubai 松竹梅, meaning Pine, Bamboo, and Plum Blossom, is a motif known as the Three Friends of Winter because of their shared resilience and ability to thrive in winter.

 PINE TREES
  • Remains green during the harshest winter

  • Symbol of endurance, constancy, and moral uprightness

  • Cloud-like shape comes from Japanese embroidery and design, often to simplify the spiky leaves

Chôsui Yabu (Japanese, active 1830–1864). Three Auspicious Friends: Pine, Bamboo and Plum, ca. 1860. 

 PLUM BLOSSOMS
  • Blooms in the coldest part of late winter

  • Symbol of hope, renewal, and beauty emerging through adversity, with the promise of spring

  • Plum blossoms are traditionally drawn with five round, unnotched petals, distinguishing them from sakura

Our main inspiration is traditional Japanese embroidery, a beautiful and fading art we hope to honor through our work.

 BAMBOO
  • Bends without breaking in strong winds

  • Symbol of flexibility, strength through humility, and resilience

  • Represented by bamboo leaves to often simplify the design

The Three Friends are depicted together THROUGHOUT history as an AUSPICIOUS motif on clothing, art, and designs. WE decided to focus on japan's designs of this trio, ALTHOUGH the group is popular in china and korea as well.
