Some small chinese manufacturer. They have been sold out in China and I think it would be great to bring those to the community.

I am intested

Could I combine this with your upcoming LED cover GB to save shipping costs?

I don't know much about keycaps made out of Resin. How do they handle shine and heavy usage? what about the feel?

If you have good designs of Marvel, you can offer a picture to me. The producer also offers custom keycaps.

JinDesu · « **Reply #12 on:** Tue, 05 August 2014, 11:52:11 »

I am interested. Specifically Cap's shield, emblem, and Hydra.

Yeah. I really love this one too. With all these cool things being made I am almost tempted to buy an MX board again.

nameistaken1 · « **Reply #18 on:** Tue, 05 August 2014, 14:50:54 »

I'd love it if a Spider-man keycap could be included.

Agreed. Who does not love spiderman. I think a lot of people think of him as the most popular and well known of all the Marvel characters. It is actually kind of odd that we have rarely seen any spiderman keycaps given his popularity and how many superhero keycaps have been made.

These look nice. Especially the EVA cap.

Matt3o · « **Reply #33 on:** Fri, 08 August 2014, 03:02:58 »

ok, so it looks like they are machined and later painted (ie: they are not cast).

I'm a bit skeptical about durability of the paint. What kind of paint do they use? Are they coated?

DanielT · « **Reply #34 on:** Fri, 08 August 2014, 03:11:24 »

Yep, wondering the same... When I first saw the caps I thought that these were anodized aluminum. I'm not sure how painted resin behaves

YongJK · « **Reply #35 on:** Fri, 08 August 2014, 05:16:12 »

it takes kinda long time for the guy to make this keycaps.

You're correct. These keycaps are made by hand and machines.

EDIT : so, it gonna takes time to produce these caps.

Good point Matt3o.

Durability is indeed an important issue. Depends on the final price if I take this "risk".

nameistaken1 · « **Reply #39 on:** Fri, 08 August 2014, 12:02:05 »

I imagine them being pretty expensive, given the amount of time/labour it looks like it takes to make.

cruzin · « **Reply #40 on:** Fri, 08 August 2014, 12:13:20 »

Cap's shield and Hydra look awesome. I'm interested, especially if more are added in the future like Thanos and Hulk.

jalaj · « **Reply #41 on:** Fri, 08 August 2014, 12:17:22 »

there's a plethora of iron man keycaps already, so oh let's make another, meh on marvel keycaps

DanielT · « **Reply #42 on:** Fri, 08 August 2014, 13:17:40 »

I'm really intrigued about these caps, I want one Captain America Shield 100% just to satisfy my curiosity.

Sounds expensive. This makes me slightly less interested.

I haven't had any ones of these because they are all sold out. Thus, I have no idea about durability of caps. But the feedback of these caps is good. The final price will be released soon.

tbd, the cost is quite relatively high, but I'm trying to set the price reasonable and valuable.
