This keycap is also designed by buger, but the "edge ball" of this one is much more straightforward. The blue and yellow color scheme and the title of IKEY are obviously a secondary creation based on "IKEA".

Speaking of IKEA, I have to mention the origin of the translation of IKEA. IKEA is a furniture and household goods retail company from Sweden. When it was translated into Chinese, the founder of the company, Ingvar Kamprad, wanted to make the brand closer to China. Market, chose "IKEA" as the Chinese translation. "Yi" means "suitable, equivalent to", etc., while "jia" is related to furniture and home furnishing.

But what I remember most about IKEA may be their dollar ice cream (

Color matching:

The bright yellow and blue color scheme, since it comes from the color scheme of the IKEA logo, it is very appropriate to interpret this color scheme from the perspective of IKEA.

According to IKEA:

Yellow represents sunshine, vitality, warmth and joy, implying that IKEA products bring people a pleasant shopping experience and a warm home environment.

Blue represents reliability, stability, calmness and firmness, expressing IKEA's commitment and trust in quality and service.

On the keycaps, yellow and blue are complementary colors, and their contrast can make people's eyes shine, which is very eye-catching.

Personality section:

The personality section is straightforward, featuring stick figure images of IKEA's business lines such as home retail, home design, food service and sustainability.

I quite like this kind of capable pattern design, which is far more attractive than the fancy design, but in terms of color, the blue and yellow are too conspicuous to be a bit dazzling, and it is somewhat difficult to mix and match with other color keycaps.

There will be higher requirements for secondary creation keycaps. The first thing to say is that this keycap is indeed a very "edge ball". Generally speaking, as long as the design does not infringe on IKEA's trademark or other intellectual property rights, then you can freely design with IKEA as inspiration, including using yellow and blue. Color design elements. So there is no big problem with the personality part and the yellow-blue color scheme of this keyboard, but the biggest problem is this "IKEY". The similarity between "IKEY" and the IKEA trademark may cause confusion or misunderstanding between consumers and the IKEA trademark, which may violate the law. But in the final analysis, whether "IKEY" is not accused depends entirely on whether IKEA sues. Another point is that IKEA has no keyboard-related content within its business scope.

It is actually a bit far-fetched to say that this keycap is a second creation, because IKEA itself does not have too much realistic pattern design.

Buying advice:

In stock, it may take more effort to match, this color is too bright and poisonous. One option is the white shell, which can form a strong contrast with the yellow-blue keycap, which looks very fresh and bright. At the same time, it can also make the yellow-blue keycaps more prominent, making the keyboard look more dynamic and lively as a whole. The rest is yellow and blue.
