A Vietnamese-inspired artisan keycap for September 2nd 🇻🇳 — Hào Khí Thăng Long

With Vietnam’s National Day coming up, I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on.

This is “Hào Khí Thăng Long”, a handmade resin artisan keycap inspired by two important Vietnamese cultural symbols:

🐉 The Vietnamese Dragon — a symbol of strength, heritage, and the Vietnamese spirit.

🥁 The Đông Sơn Bronze Drum — an iconic symbol of ancient Vietnamese culture.

I wanted to bring these traditional elements into something modern and familiar to the keyboard community.

The goal was to create more than just a Vietnam-themed keycap, but a small piece that could tell a story about where I come from.

✨ Handmade resin

📏 1U / 2U / 2.25u

For those who aren't familiar with Vietnamese culture, what do you notice first? And do you feel the design communicates the story clearly?

🇻🇳 A little piece of Vietnamese heritage, one keystroke at a time.

A Vietnamese-inspired artisan keycap for September 2nd 🇻🇳 — Hào Khí Thăng Long

With Vietnam’s National Day coming up, I wanted to share a project inspired by a small part of my country’s history and culture. 🇻🇳

This is Hào Khí Thăng Long, a handmade resin artisan keycap inspired by two Vietnamese symbols:

🐉 The Vietnamese Dragon — representing strength, heritage, and the Vietnamese spirit.

🥁 The Đông Sơn Bronze Drum — an iconic symbol of ancient Vietnamese culture.

I wanted to bring these traditional elements into something completely different: a mechanical keyboard keycap.

The goal wasn’t just to make a “Vietnam-themed” keycap, but to create something that could carry a little piece of Vietnamese culture onto a keyboard while still feeling like a collectible artisan piece.

I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts — especially from people who aren't familiar with Vietnamese culture. Does the design communicate the story clearly? What details catch your eye first?
