In a world saturated with plastic peripherals, Serene Industries dares to carve a new path – literally. Behold the Icebreaker Keyboard, a monolithic testament to material substance and uncompromising design, a full-metal marvel milled from a single, solid block of aluminium. This isn’t just a keyboard; it’s a statement, a desk-bound anchor in a sea of fleeting tech trends. Take note, discerning typists, for the in-stock run has already vanished, a testament to its immediate desirability, but fear not – Serene Industries has opened pre-orders, offering a crucial window to secure your own slice of aluminium-forged typing perfection. Production is already primed to commence the moment pre-orders close, promising a relatively swift transition from anticipation to tactile satisfaction.




The Icebreaker Keyboard from Serene Industries ($1500) is not shy about its dimensions, commanding a presence on your workspace at 450mm wide, yet maintaining a sleek profile at just 24mm tall. But dimensions are merely numbers; it’s the feeling that truly defines this keyboard. Imagine the cool, substantial weight of that milled aluminium beneath your fingertips, a tactile assurance of quality that plastic casings simply cannot replicate. Serene Industries has gone beyond mere aesthetics, engineering a dual dampening system to ensure each keystroke is not only precise but also gratifyingly muted, a symphony of silent command. Powering this desktop leviathan is a robust 4,000 mAh battery, promising longevity and freedom from constant charging anxieties.



But the Icebreaker’s ambition doesn’t stop at typing prowess. In a truly unexpected yet undeniably Coolector-esque flourish, Serene Industries has integrated 1/4-20” threads, typically reserved for professional photographic and video equipment, into the keyboard’s design. This opens up a world of customizable mounting options, from the practical to the frankly audacious.



Imagine attaching professional accessory arms, even – and we quote Serene Industries directly here – “Picatinny rails,” or, with a delightful touch of absurdity, an axe handle. While we’re not entirely sure of the practical applications of axe-handle mounting, the mere possibility speaks volumes about the Icebreaker’s unapologetic individuality and playful spirit. Beyond the robust physicality, the Icebreaker bestows digital buffs as well. Rumours abound of a +45 melee damage increase and a staggering +75 to style, though these may be merely anecdotal… or perhaps testament to the keyboard’s sheer, unadulterated presence.



Connectivity is seamlessly modern, offering both Bluetooth for untethered freedom and USB Type-C for rock-solid wired performance. Beneath the aluminium exterior lies a meticulously engineered 65% PCB with a versatile EC11 Rotary Encoder, hotswap switch sockets allowing for personalized tactile experiences, and per-switch RGB lighting for customizable visual flair.




And for those who like to fine-tune their typing experience, both VIA Configurator and Serene Industries’ own Configurator software unlock a powerful suite of control options, allowing you to tailor every aspect of the Icebreaker to your precise preferences. The Serene Industries Icebreaker Keyboard is more than just a typing tool; it’s a statement piece, a conversation starter, and a tactile experience unlike any other. Secure your pre-order now, and prepare to break the ice in style.
