- In the Mechanical Keyboard community, you can get artisan keycaps for your keyboard that can cost you hundreds of dollars. This one for example, was I think about 60 bucks or something like that but they can be so much more. And you know what? You don't wanna just store them in any old box. We got the Chronos from Archetype. This thing gives you 40 slots. That's potentially thousands of dollars. It's made out of machined 6063 aluminum. And it's got UV protecting glass on top. The sun's not getting in there. You're great, you're golden. If you've got hundreds of dollars to spend, I mean, you can get this thing too. But there's one big problem. (ominous music) I can't fit my space bar or anything else that's more than one U.
The video introduces the Chronos display case from Archetype, pitched to the Mechanical Keyboard community as a storage solution for artisan keycaps that can cost hundreds of dollars. The presenter emphasizes the potential value, noting that a single example keycap might be around $60, and that the Chronos offers 40 slots for organizing such pieces, potentially safeguarding thousands of dollars in a sturdy, machined 6063 aluminum chassis with UV-protected glass. The narration highlights the care put into the build, claiming the sun won’t affect the contents and encouraging owners with the line you’re great, you’re golden if you have hundreds to spend. However, a major caveat is quickly introduced: the display case cannot accommodate space bars or other items larger than one unit, creating a practical limitation for many keyboard setups. The brief piece blends aspirational marketing with a practical constraint, leaving viewers weighing the allure of a premium display against real-world usability in daily keyboard use.
