What Are Kult Worship Kaps
Kult Worship Kaps (KWK) are horror-themed artisan keycaps made by the user PunksDead for MX, Topre, and Buckling Spring switches.
The Story
The story of KWK begins not so long ago, in the basement of the user HipsterPunks. Hipster had been artistically oriented for some time, though the way he expressed his skills forced him to pursue other endeavours to be able to lead a normal life. After finding GeekHack and yearning for an outlet for his artistic skills, Hipster starting making Killed by Kaps (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=63685.msg1491180#msg1491180). They were an immediate success, and KBKs became one of the more well-known caps in the keyboard community. But the flame that drove him dwindled as the hobby became a strain on his real life. And with that, HipsterPunks disappeared. But soon after, PunksDead arrived. He seeked an average GH experience, but the caps began to call to him once again. And with that, KWKs were born. Intentionally simpler and using a more condensed color palette, KWKs became an evolution of what Hipster began.

Mummy III - MX/Topre
Like the movies they share a name with, they just keep coming back (though most enjoy these more than any Brendan Fraser film). More ghoulish than prior incarnations, featuring an elongated fang and a single eye.

How the Dead Are Made to Rise Again
To begin, a cap is sculpted to make a new mold. This can take up to a month because of all the intricacies involved with the sculpting process.
(https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7454/16292514979_436df52a7a.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/qPHp5F)
Epoxy, sometimes multiple mixtures and colors, is poured into the mold, and then, using a magical pressurized cauldron, is brought to life.
Acquisition of the Beast
It is in ones best interest to never seek out these creatures, but if absolutely necessary, one can find said creatures on the KWK Website or during sales in the Artisan Services Thread (https://geekhack.org/index.php?board=160.0).
