_5151 Artisan Key for terminal -KachaKeys
« on: Thu, 22 June 2017, 14:08:45 »
Hey Guys.

I promised yesterday that I would have some stuff in store for people who love GMK >_Terminal.
Well here it is, _5151 is our second keycap following the KeyHugger. Its an homage to the IBM 5151 monitor.
A triple shot keycap that was extremely hard to produce (at least for us). The monitor on half of the colorways
 we are working on istranslucent and acts as a light-pipe for those with backlit keyboards while the other half is
opaque for those who dont fancy a backlight.

Check out the photos and let us know what you think!

Looks way cool! Upward rotation would also look nice.

I have a prototype of that. It is actually even harder to cast.
I tried 10 times and haven't gotten any usable casts unfortunately.
I may revisit the idea in the future though.

Thanks for the crit though!

Can't wait for your first sale.

Its all good! It was nice to meet you either way!
Keycon was really amazing, and the first sale for keyhuggers is tomorrow, and _5151 will be July 7 I think.
