Theory of Everything · Universal Gravitation — Curie Keycap Set | Radioactive Beauty | Cherry Profile

Marie Curie. Two Nobel Prizes.
0.1 grams of radium extracted from 8 tons of pitchblende.
Her laboratory notebooks are still radioactive today. To read them, you must wear protective equipment.

This keycap set is about a dangerous kind of beauty.

The Body

The primary color is lead grey — silent, ore-like, matte metallic. Each keycap surface carries a subtle mineral grain texture, as if cut directly from pitchblende. The legends are printed in pale green fluorescent ink, glowing faintly in the dark — the cold light of radium.

The Function Keys

Frosted glass-texture semi-transparent enamel, with a quiet cold-green glow emanating from beneath — like that glowing vial in the laboratory. The F-row is labeled with element symbols: Ra, Po, U, Th, in a typeface that mimics the handwriting in Curie’s own notebooks.

The Special Keys

• ESC — a miniature radioactive warning symbol, trefoil filled with fluorescent yellow-green
• Enter — etched with an atomic orbital model
• Backspace — a radioactive decay half-life curve. All radiation eventually decays. But some things never do.

The Spacebar

Deep grey to fluorescent green gradient resin, with simulated ore fragments and a frozen thread of green fluorescent filament sealed inside.

She proved one thing with her life:
Some discoveries cost the discoverer themselves.
