These are so cool Oo I'm definitely interested in buying a few, depending on the price.

We use nail varnish, so every colour you see is a separate bottle!

Oh no, sorry about that! But it’s great that you liked it

We weren’t 100% happy with the overall finish but we’ll try and make you a better version if all goes well!

Isn't this essentially what you're doing;

It's pretty amazing that you can do it with something so small. It must take a lot of patience.

Looking forward to trying to get one of these things.

But I'm in the UK! I'm stuck in the middle of all the horrible timezone sales!

TheQsanity · « **Reply #69 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 05:52:26 »

Hmm, looks like they're a lot of people wanting this. I wouldn't mind one if there are enough.

You should try a carbon-fiber theme. Saw something like that online. Its somewhere on youtube.

We’ve thought about the time of the sale a bit more, and we’ve decided to try and make it more fair for everyone

Check the next post!

Are the times supposed to be like that? I would think SF and NY would be three hours apart?

Oops, thanks for picking that up! The correct time is 7pm New York.

Those keycaps look so nice. Me want!!!! *drool*

jeroplane · « **Reply #79 on:** Tue, 30 October 2012, 02:46:21 »

Hey everyone, thanks so much for the overwhelming response in yesterday's sale. It was more than we could have ever expected and we're so glad that so many of you like our key caps.

We've learnt a few things from the trial, and we'll definitely be moving ahead with making more!

Look out for our first official round in the next month, which will be Cherry profile, and we’re in the process of working on SP profile keys too

Unfortunately we won’t be posting as many updates over the next two weeks since we have uni exams (

), but we’ll be back in full swing straight after!

Alessandro · « **Reply #80 on:** Tue, 30 October 2012, 06:49:04 »

If I buy a key from you and I type on it and I notice I have worn away the protective coating then am I allowed to keep reapplying a coat of nail polish protector to it every few weeks?

Of course

If it's yours you can do what you like with it!

We apply two protective clear coats, so it shouldn't come off anytime soon!

TotalChaos · « **Reply #87 on:** Thu, 22 November 2012, 07:19:07 »

I just wanted to make sure that Nail Polish Protector is chemically compatible to your paint (or ink or whatever you use).

I don't want to put it on and then the paint starts dissolving in front of my eyes. Or catches on fire.

Filco keyboards ship with some kind of clear protective coat on the keys according to many users. This coat feels "slick". But it wears off quickly. The best I could figure is that Filco sprays nail polish protector on all their keys at the factory. But those keys are not painted.

Hey guys, thanks for the interest

Our sale thread is here.

Unfortunately the Toxics were sold out a couple of weeks ago, but we've had some other designs for sale too.
