Fearless warriors and fabled builders, the Dwarves are among the most ancient and esteemed races in all of Middle-earth. On the officially licensed Drop + The Lord of the Rings MT3 Dwarvish Keycap Set, we’re bringing their look and language to your keyboard. Created by the god Aulë—a craftsman in his own right—the Dwarves spoke Khuzdul, a secret language which they transcribed into the Elvish script Cirth. When the Elves went on to adopt other forms of writing, Cirth became known as the written word of the Dwarves—and the official text of this keycap set. Designed by Matt3o in an earthy-gray-and-off-white colorway, its runelike legends are faithful translations of corresponding Khuzdul terms and Cirth characters—and its durable, dye-sublimated PBT build ensures lasting brilliance with an exceptional feel. For those who need a guide, the Training Dwarvish and Dwarvish Ortholinear kits feature both Cirth and traditional legends. For pure Cirth, check out the Hardcore Dwarvish, Dwarvish Extras, and Durin’s Forge kits.

In Middle-earth, there is no bigger hoarder of treasure than the dragon Smaug. For this limited release with The Lord of the Rings—a pair of mesmerizing handcrafted wrist rests—we could think of no better inspiration. Equal parts typing tool and eye-catching jewel, each one is meticulously crafted and vividly colored with handmade attention to detail by our friends at Moon Key. Both are worthy of Smaug’s hoard, and both feature the dragon himself. Plus, each one is shaped with a typing angle between 7 and 9 degrees for optimal comfort. Choose the menacing Eye of Smaug or the ornate Smaug’s Lair to complement your style—and select a 65% or TKL to fit your setup.
Throughout its nearly 5,000-year lifetime, the One Ring traveled to many corners of Middle-earth. In this official collaboration with The Lord of the Rings, we’re commemorating a select few of them in a set of artisan keycaps masterfully handcrafted by our friends at Dwarf Factory. Perhaps the most renowned is Mount Doom: the Ring’s first and final resting place. There, sitting atop a bed of lava, the Ring shows its true nature by revealing the language of Mordor engraved on its surface. Next is Anduin: the longest river of the Third Age, on whose bed the Ring lay in wait for several millennia after the first defeat of Sauron and the death of his foe, Isildur. Eventually, the Ring was discovered by Smeagol, taken by Bilbo, and passed to Frodo, who journeyed with it to the enchanted land of Lothlórien, where it famously tested the elven queen, Galadriel. Choose from these three legendary locations, and bring the One Ring to a keyboard in your collection.
