# Ballin' Keyboard Keys Gold Key $4 by Marti Guixe Blings up Number Four with a Midas Touch By Matt Ho | Published 2011-07-10 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gold-key-4 References: [ohgizmo](http://www.ohgizmo.com/2011/07/08/appropriately-blinged-out-gold-4-replacement-key/) & [chihapaura](http://www.chihapaura.com/limited/lE04) Computer users probably wouldn't mind having the Gold Key $4 designed by Martí Guixé. After all, it's blinging and it proves that [computers can look just as fashionable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keychron-q16-he-8k) as their users. The Gold Key $4 is made with [gold-plated silver](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/24k-gold-plated-toothbrush), which gives it that luxurious glow that shines radiantly when you're posting pictures up on Facebook. Sure, it's not the real thing, but I still think that it really spices up the Internet experience in a fashionable manner. It's also quite appropriate that the "4" key was chosen considering that it also functions as the dollar sign when you hold Shift and push it. The item is custom-made, so if you order one, it will take a bit of time for it to ship out due to the production process. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Ultra Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/ultraluxury) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Luxury Tech Accessories:** Creating gold-plated computer accessories for a luxurious and fashionable user experience. - **Custom-made Personalization:** Offering custom-made keyboard keys to add a unique touch to computer usage. - **Blending Fashion and Technology:** Exploring the intersection of fashion and technology by incorporating fashionable elements into computer accessories. ### Who This Affects Most - **Technology Accessories:** Developing and manufacturing high-end computer accessories that combine aesthetics and functionality. - **Personalized Products:** Providing customized keyboard keys and other personalized products to cater to individual preferences. - **Luxury Fashion:** Collaborating with fashion designers to create luxury tech accessories that appeal to fashion-conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Limited Edition Gold Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steelseries-2.md) - [Periodic Table Keyboard Caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/awekeys.md) - [Amber-Inspired Keycap Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oshid-amber.md) - [Rosy Copper Keycap Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/awekeys-copper-eagle-keycap-set.md) - [Stylish Crystalline Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-polyclear-keyboard.md) - [Vintage Icon-Themed Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/susan-kare.md) - [Incredibly Elegant Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elegant-keyboard.md) - [Experimental Custom-Designed Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edglrd-x-higround.md) - [Sci-Fi Film-Inspired Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drop-expression-series-mechtropolis-keyboard.md)
