This customizable keyboard is designed in collaboration between [NovelKeys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cherry-1), [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bluetooth-trackers-1) and [Signature Plastics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laser-wave-keyboard). The project is ideal for Star Wars fans who want to personalize their keycaps to reflect their interest.

The set boasts a total of 157 keys, with "eight unique novelty keycaps" that showcase one's "loyalty to the Empire." With the 'Star Wars Galactic Empire DSA,' NovelKeys taps a strong pop cultural phenomenon for a lot of individuals. Whether it is the nostalgia that drives purchasing decisions or simply a great love for the movie franchise itself, this product will surely prove to be in high demand.

The customizable keyboard is available in two versions -- pure Aurebesh or Aurebesh with English letters, and since it is officially licensed, the keycaps alone are on the market for $250 USD.
