[IC] Keycap Holders - Now on Massdrop

~~Update
Now available on MD: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/npkc-keycap-holder

Hey guys,

Started a poll on Massdrop as apparently that seems to be the only way to gain the manufacturers attention.

Please vote, if you like, on the NKPC option:

https://www.massdrop.com/vote/Keycap-Holders

Things that I would ultimately ask if this was to get off the ground would be:
1. Topre stems
2. Different layouts i.e. all evenly spaced stems
3. Color options
4. Spacers at the corners so they would stack better

Lets do this 

[moosiey]

Maybe one that is evenly spaced but inside a lidded box. +1

[tofgerl]

So these aren't available now? What would the price be? I need more information, though I'll certainly vote.

I found one on Taobao a few days ago for $23 if i recall. It was an acrylic jewellery case with lid. Works perfect with keycaps.

I believe these are available elsewhere, so maybe check out TaoBao or something similar? See quote immediately below:

No idea on pricing, we need to generate enough interest so that Massdrop can contact NKPC.

interested!

I NEED THIS!

Been buying those pill storage box to store my artisans in the meantime. Some are still in the plastic bag they came with. Definitely need a better way to store them and this looks like a winner.

And yes, Topre version also please

Put a vote in. Is there any estimate for how much the cost would be?

No estimate at present, and I don't think we will get one unless we get enough votes

I've already asked for feedback from MD but haven't received anything regarding pricing.

Thanks for the update!

I am looking for something cheap just to store keycaps (so I don't have ziplock bags laying around). But if I get some of these I could just display the keycpas!

No probs, yeah exact same situation here, my plan is to have them on display

I don't think these will be pricey at all, but we will have to wait and see, hopefully we get enough votes

Looks cool and definitely has its value in terms of storage, but not really great for display purposes (I think) 

[tofgerl]

Could we ask them to include spacers at the corners so they would stack better? Any profiled sets would make the set on top slide off. 😀

Added to the OP so I can keep track of it

[harlw]

yes plz!


I actually have cheap mechs to display sets right now *shame*

[geniekid]

Maybe worth pointing out that the KeyPop option is the worst for displaying caps but the best for storing them since they have enough space for those ISO/color/novelty add-ons that you see in many keycap sets.

[geo462rge]

voted NKPC, looks neat.  the elitekeyboards one is something have wanted for a while too.  i wonder when they will get that in stock.

In that and a lot better than zip lock bags...which is something I most certainly don't use

Please drop a comment in the discussion thread. I am (we are?) After a way to display the caps nicely, I think the line between display and storage is clear enough

It does look nice and they have been out of stock for so long I'm hoping we can get the NKPC ones through and then dictate some custom designs
