Brylan, founder of CritterKeys, is turning a lifelong passion for entrepreneurship into a growing brand rooted in creativity and nostalgia. What began as hours spent gaming on Xbox and creating some of life’s best memories eventually sparked a deeper interest in technology and design. Building a first PC wasn’t just a milestone. It unlocked a fascination with keycaps and laid the foundation for what would become CritterKeys.

After months of research and reflection, Brylan began developing the brand in November 2024, fueled by a clear vision and backed by hard-earned savings from a lawn care business. The process was hands-on and deeply personal, with countless hours invested in bringing the idea to life. Along the way, feedback from friends and mentors helped refine the concept and deepen his understanding of the business world.

In August 2025, CritterKeys officially launched. The brand’s mission is simple: to bring keyboards to life, one critter at a time. With a focus on playful, high-quality keycap designs, CritterKeys taps into a niche community of gamers, creators, and keyboard enthusiasts who value both function and personality in their setups.

Though the journey is still in its early stages, Brylan’s priorities are clear. Deliver an exceptional customer experience, keep products in stock, minimize delays, and provide reliable support. Every dollar earned is reinvested into the business, with plans to introduce new creative products that expand the niche

“I still have a lot to learn,” Brylan shares. “But I’m excited to take on every challenge head-on.”

CritterKeys is more than a product. It’s a reflection of passion, perseverance, and the belief that small beginnings can lead to meaningful impact. Thank you for supporting a small business.
