Creamy Keyboards Are the Perfect Trend to Bring a Little Fun to Your WFH Days

They sound and feel so much better than your typical keyboard.

As the popularity of laptops increased, so did the popularity of specialty keyboards. Rarely will you see someone whip out their laptop at a coffee shop and plug in a second keyboard—no, they’re using their laptop with the keyboard that comes attached to the machine.

Then, the pandemic happened.

Before 2020, we all either took our computers to work and back home with us or we posted up with a desktop computer at work and lived with whatever machine we had at home during our off hours. But once we faced work-from-home orders alongside a lockdown, our laptops didn’t move from our desks—and neither did we. And we saw an uptick in people using specialty keyboards with their laptops.

What Are Creamy Keyboards?

Today, there’s an even more specific kind of specialty keyboard that has really taken off: creamy keyboards. These keyboards are for more than just keyboard aficionados. There are plenty of reasons why people might want to add some creamy keyboards to their lives, including how they feel under their fingers and the sound they make. If you search “creamy keyboard” on TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, you’ll be flooded with hundreds of ASMR videos of people typing on a creamy keyboard.

They can fit with pretty much any aesthetic and can really make a desk pop. If you’re looking for a keyboard that feels good and sounds good but don’t want to make a statement, look for a creamy keyboard that has a neutral color scheme—and there are options abound. No matter what, having a second keyboard on your desk or a larger one will take up space, so if you want to maintain a minimalist or Scandinavian aesthetic, keep a clutter-free desk with white or light wood tones.

Creamy Keyboard Aesthetic

Creamy keyboards are perhaps best known for the pastel and kawaii aesthetic they can bring to a space, which offers a more playful and colorful aesthetic. If you combine them with pastel desk mats, cute little knickknacks, and soft lighting, you can achieve a whimsical and soft space.

And if you have more of a vintage aesthetic, find a creamy keyboard that is darker with gold embellishments and pair it with vintage posters, antique furniture, and dark woods.

No matter how you choose to style a creamy keyboard, there’s space for it to really open up your desk—and make typing those emails just a bit more fun.
