Artsy/Blended key caps
« on: Sat, 25 October 2014, 19:50:29 »
I've seen loads of key caps that are "blended colors" and look pretty cool. I know many of them are insanely expensive and hard to get a hold of, but where should I look to find these kind of keys or artsy keys like it. Are there any made by people other than the big name and expensive artisans? Below are some good examples.

Yeah I know who makes the ones I posted. I was just wondering where I'd get some like them or if there were any other companies/people that made keys like them

Either of those two are going to require hunting the classifieds. I believe nubbinator is making FN keycaps now, and they are like that. So unless click clack starts making new ones like that the only two places to look are going to be from bro caps or nubbinator.

Other than that, I don't think there are other places to get keycaps like that.

Is it common for keys like that to go up on the classifieds? If so I'll keep an eye out. I'm kind of new and am looking for some pretty keys to go on my keyboard.

Where would I go to get resources to make keys like this? Even just to mess around with it. I looked around online and searched through here, but couldn't really find anything on how these are made.

To be honest I thought was pretty much only for modding the physical aspect of the keyboards and PCB and such. Are there parts for describing the process of making key caps? I don't seem to see anything other than this thread, which I don't really understand what this information is for. http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=33496.0

I'll have to look harder then. If anyone else can link to some I'd be very thankful. Seems very fun to toy around with.

Can you link me to wherever you found guides?

Also I think I might try my hand at some of these. But I'm not sure what paint will stay or what kind of coating I should use. Found these on a Google Images search and they look super cool.

Those are polish dipped caps.  You do fingernail polish, float it on water, make a pattern, and dip the cap into it.  Some seal it with a clear coat.

Why polish? Are they made by a specific person? And I've seen people dip things, I just wasn't sure what to coat it in. Sorry for all of the questions, I'm just really interested and everyone has to start somewhere! :/

Because it works well for it.  There may be some other things people use to texturize it and such, but that's the mail one.  I believe they just clear coat it with a lacquer/varnish/polish to make it last longer.

Ah, I thought you were saying polish as if it were part of the key cap name, since you said "polish dipped key caps" instead of "polished dipped key caps."

Thanks for the help. I'll have to order some blanks and some paint and try this out. Do you have any suggestion of where to order blanks from? I want Cherry MX but I don't know if I'll be able to get blank PBTs. I guess I could get some of the white ones from eBay but I don't know the quality of those. And is there any specific form factor I should aim for?

Pay for shipping and I have a bunch of MX ABS SP caps I can send your way.  It's shouldn't be more than $3 to ship.  I'd love to get one or two just to see your results, but don't feel obligated.

And I'm not sure how well paint holds up, I just know nail polish is a go to for it.

Gave nub my details and he's sending the caps my way. Got some nail polish to use and will test it soon. Might test it on some rubber dome caps first.

Really kind of disappointed with the results. I am going to have to keep trying. The problem currently is that it either globs on super thick, or that it has water bubbles or paint bubbles. If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix those issues, even if it's just an idea, please let me know.

im not sure if this process is similar to hyrodripping? but i know the case of hydrodripping there is an 'art' to how you put the pattern on smoothly.

they all seem to put it in slow and on an angle. not sure if this helps at all. youtube gives a million examples

Ther are some videos like this, but it's harder than it looks apparently. The paint drying too fast or clumping up is the problem.

I think it's getting better! Will keep practicing on these rubber domes, and hopefully by the time the mechanical key caps come in, I'll be good enough to make a quality key cap.

This could have used a base coat, and then the design, but I think the application of the design has definitely improved. Hopefully it will keep doing so.

Just so you know, nail polish does have toxic chemicals in it so it is highly recommended to coat it with something that will not soak chemicals into your fingertips.

Those key caps look cool but I wonder how CHESSEX Dice do their magical colors and with what materials (I think I've read about it before but I don't remember off-hand):

Not sure if you've figured this out already but - I do nail art, so. Make sure you're using filtered or distilled water, and it needs to be at room temperature, water that's too cold or hot will set your polish too fast. Also drip the polish with the brush almost touching the surface of the water - it should be able to run off the brush and onto the water without actually making a seperate drip. Not sure if this is helpful or not... Good luck! You have some great colour combos going on there.

Do you know about the related toxins in nail polishes? What do you use to clear coat the keycaps to make them *less toxic* or "non-toxic"?

Everything is toxic.  Get over it.  Unless you're downing bottles of nail polish you have zero risk from it.

Thanks. I have had problems with it drying on top of the water too fast, and I think that was because it was too cold, and I was not using filtered water. But I will fix those two things today and try again.

Also I am having a lot of problems with making the straight lines in some of the pictures seen here. http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=64752.0;attach=80864;image

The nail polish will either be too clumpy or be too thin and be transparent, almost mixing with the polish next to it, creating mixed colors instead of the interesting straight lines that are desired. And I am also having trouble removing the excess paint on the top of the water quick enough. Currently I am having another person stand near me with two Q-Tips and having them remove the excess as quickly as possible after the cap is dipped (top down) into the paint. But commonly some of the excess will fall back down onto the key, therefore ruining the design, making it bumpy etc. Or sometimes the paint will be far too thick, making it uneven and blended instead of having straight lines.

If you can help me address any of these problems I would be very thankful. I'd love to make keys as cool and as sharp as those in the picture.

Looks great! A full set of mods that look like this would be sick.

The best advice I can think of really is to go and look up a bunch of 'water marbled nail art' videos, that's how I learned. You can see exactly what the pros are doing then, maybe that would help you with your technique! Bet you really seem to be getting the hang of it, it's just one of those things that takes practice. Lots, and lots of practice...

The middle cap of the top row is sweet, great job.  :thumb:

My thoughts exactly.

Got the keys from nubbinator today! Thanks so much! They all look great and this really shows how great of a community this is! But before I make tons, would anyone actually be interested in purchasing some of the really good paintes keys (without imperfections) on cherry MX keys for a low price?

People in the 1980s, in general, were clearly just better than we are now in every measurable way.

Should I post in the classifieds or in an artisan thread once I make the caps?

Since you're creating a decent number of your own caps, I'd say artisan thread
