Mechanical Keyboard
Cerakote
Application
Mechanical Keyboard Cerakote application — our bread and butter and specialty. We’ve coated hundreds of boards, from Korean customs to one-off creations, and the only limit is your imagination.
Choose a single colour for a clean, classic look, or opt for the “chef’s special”: tell us a theme and let our team create something unique. Cerakote will take your board from end game to outer space with durable, show-stopping finishes.
Why Cerakote?
No ‘e’-coating, powder, paint or anodising can match what Cerakote achieves. Add a super-durable finish that consistently outperforms outdated, environmentally damaging coatings.
Cerakote is an ultra-thin, ultra-high-performance coating that makes the ideal partner for your mechanical keyboard. From simple single-colour applications to elaborate custom stencils, precision laser engraving, dramatic splatter and splash effects, striking colour shifts and rich metallics (need we say more), Cerakote can do it all.
What can we do?
Cerakote bonds to many substrates: aluminium, steel, copper, brass, polymers, wood, carbon fibre and plastic. We’ve coated hundreds of keyboard boards (background from running PEXON) — contact us with your idea.
Recommendations:
H-Series: core range for mechanical keyboards and aluminium, brass, copper, steel — highly customisable.
E-Series: for metal parts; fewer colours.
C-Series: ideal for plastic parts (e.g., HHKB cases).
All performance clears work on metal, polymers, carbon fibre, wood and plastic. Pair with FX for colour-shift/metallic effects, or use over graphics, hydrographics and paint.
You’ve got questions- we’ve got the answers!

Almost anything. Cerakote is incredibly customisable, offering hundreds of colours, textures and finish options to suit every need. From subtle tones to bold, intricate patterns, the only limit is your imagination.

We understand keyboards — it’s our bread and butter. From producing tens of thousands of cables back in the PEXON days, to building over 100 custom boards myself and coating many hundreds more,
Salopian truly understands the hobby. That means we will carefully look after your prized board and talk through what finish and process will work best for your specific application. We are certified, factory-trained applicators, so you can rest assured we know exactly what we’re doing. Our dedication and skill have even earned us the title of ‘The Most Creative’ Applicator in the UK.

Pricing depends on the complexity and size of your build. Every project is unique, so we tailor each quote based on current stock levels and the specifics of your application (stencils, special effects, masking, etc.).
After we provide a detailed quotation, we’ll send you an invoice with full, transparent payment details — you ship your board to us, and we’ll take it from there to make the magic happen.
-
Collaborative, responsive and exciting! We work closely with you throughout the entire process and regularly share fresh ideas and photos of your build as it progresses. Let us know whether you prefer email, WhatsApp or Discord for updates, and we’ll keep the experience enjoyable, engaging and easy to follow.
We understand it can feel daunting to ship your board away and wait anxiously for updates—we’d feel the same—so honesty and transparency are central to how we operate. Looking for a trusted builder? We can connect you with reliable options. Need suggestions for keycaps or other components? We’ve got plenty of ideas. Want us to organise a professional photoshoot of the finished piece? No problem — we’ve always been part of this community and are committed to supporting it now and in the future!
