[Update]

As part of the transparency that I promised before, here's what I've been working for a while now. If you check back, you'll see my first prototype of interchangeable stems for mx, topre, and etc, but I decided to just dump that project. I didn't really want to show or share this info as I wanted it as a surprise at the end once the MX gamer set is done. Check out what's coming back!  :thumb: this will be called T800-H, a hybrid MX and Topre compatible keycap. This T800 is smoother, bit more detailed compare to previous one. I like the end result of this prototype. It fits snugly in both MX and Topre board and height is just perfect for the common SA and Cherry profile keyset.  :thumb: And  Regarding the MX set, I'm still working on it. 12 caps isn't easy to work on, plus this this one.

[Update]

I just want to share these photos. The first cap was quite successful. I found out that resin isn't the perfect material for this kind of stem. They're too flexible and it doesn't fit very securely on the board. I am going to revise/improve what I have and hopefully, the next one would be better. I am still thinking of giving this cap away to a mx/topre board user. At the moment, I  cannot continue with the process as I ran out of materials already and I am kinda low on budget for new materials(coz Vive and Rift  :p ) so we'll have to wait a bit til I make some savings.  :p

Quick update!

You guys are funny!  :p No excuses, I suck. Well, many of you probably know that I am currently working on my one-off keyboard which is almost done already! yey!  :thumb: Part of it was for me to make artisan blanks, same as the ones on this thread.
I have created couple sets for my self already and some other sets for some 'friends.' Those includes two ESC, WASD, arrow cluster, and 4 fns in cherry profile. As an update for the last giveaway, I finished the two sets already. Dgneo's and Aengus'. These only includes an ESC, WASD and an Fn keycaps though some of the winners will get more than those promised. I didn't have the F&J bumped keycaps as my mold was created for Project Cosmos and they also looked awkward on the board when you have WASD on it. I will be creating Ika's set sometime next week as I will be busy this week plus there will be a meetup on the upcoming weekend. This one is kinda difficult as 4 shots on cherry profile is very challenging plus his requested colorway is very very challenging too.


Here are some photos of those that I made for myself and a friend. Project Cosmos blank colorway will be revealed this upcoming weekend in time for the Northern California meetup.  :p

Frozen Blanks



Metallic Blue for my HHKB :)

Thanks. Angeus' and dgneo's caps were shipped yesterday. I decided not to charge them shipping since they waited very long for it. Ika's set should be ready in couple days. Im also planning to create couple set that i will put on sale as I need funds for vac chamber and more raw materials to continue making caps and also improved the quality of these blanks. Keep an eye on that :)

Also took photos of Ika's set on my Cosmos board.  :thumb: I will ship them out tmo.





I might put the 2-3 sets I am talking about on sale next week either here on r/mm. Might not be FCFS just letting you guys know. They will be priced reasonably as they're not perfect. Getting a vac chamber and redoing the mold should improve the quality of the blanks.  :)

Thanks guys. Goodluck. For topre, it's possible, but I will prioritize MX first once I acquire all the new equipments/materials. I will no longer use the current mold. For the winners, Im actually thinking of sending them new set(wasd) of their choice once the new mold is done instead of giving them an extra entry for future sales/giveaways. Will depend on how everything goes. I am currently searching for better materials and ways of casting the blanks. Hoping the new ones will be better than the current ones that I am making.
