VERY VERY prototypy

it still misses the finishing layer that makes it glossy

but it glows in the dark and it is backlight compatible

Strontium aluminate I gather ? Cool stuff. Ever considered to embed tritium vials in a cap ?

it's a pretty complex keycap, very hard to mass produce if not 3d printed, but I haven't given up on it

Very nice. I'll take 10.

Love the glow in the dark effect. Looks awesome!

notsonerd · « **Reply #19 on:** Mon, 06 October 2014, 06:09:00 »

Would the glow-in-the-dark effect disturb any backlight besides white and its natural color?

It'd be cool if the glow and backlight mixed to create different colors.

no, when not-glowing the keycap is just "frosted" white

When it is glowing, I mean. Combined with a clashing backlight, what effect does it create, if any?

I'm wondering how many other great projects and ideas from you i will find in the future hidden in various threads here!

GenKaan · « **Reply #25 on:** Fri, 14 November 2014, 04:24:53 »

Looks cool, would love to see how they turn out because they look kinda basic to me. Would love some design on the outside of the cap and not just print
