Custom Keycaps
« on: Tue, 06 May 2014, 20:04:25 »


Cherry profile, nice and thick

Solid colors for now, I can mix colors to get almost everything you want. If I can't make the color, I will let you know and you can change colors.

Choose 1, 2 or 3 colors---pricing is the same no matter what

Top layer and middle layer look like what the picture shows, bottom layer is only on the inside and stem area and will not be seen when on a switch

These are not premade and are made when I have an opportunity to custom make your order

For now, there are only 5 slots--1 cap per person please Order all you want, I'll do them one by one

ORDER FORM:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1dGy2iqWpYp0eNPCqJligI-8iHHmU9PjtW_VIxOTCO84/viewform

Pricing: $15 plus shipping. Each cap will be made over and over until I am satisfied. I will only send an invoice once I have made the cap and it is good. I'm a bit busy right now so there is a lead time of around two weeks

All profits go to funding better equipment. 3D designs are being worked on, and more colors will happen later.

I reserve the right to not take your order.

If you want to leave a comment, do so in the order form or via PM

that candy look so delicious.   :p  Any chance we can get a set? perhaps less than $15.00 per cap, or else i could never afford 107 keycaps.  :'( :'( :'(

So am I. I love the thwang of my model F, but unfortuantly nice caps are so hard to find. I think I need to switch over to some stronger resins, I've tried to just make the covers for two piece model M caps, but every time the walls are too thin. Doing the whole thing is more secure, but even the stems on real PBT caps are flimsy :confused:

Probally. If I can't mix red and blue correctly to make purple, I will buy some more dye. If I do buy more dye, purple and some other colors will also be there, along with some translucent caps(albeit they will be sorta bubbly with my setup)

I deliver what the people want. The people want star wars, I give them star wars. They want to pick their colors, I give them the colors they want

That being said, I am working on some custom designs in addition to the current lineup of blanks and the soon to come alps, bs, and topre caps

These colors have not been finalized yet. I am thinking of redoing the order form later to encompass all the new designs, and when that happens, people who already ordered will get first priority if they want to change their colors

I can see the reason why people would be annoyed if he was copying other people's caps, but all I have seen are tri-colors and a storm trooper. Are there keys he's been copying? (serious question)

It makes sense now. The tri-color I personally think is a grey area, but the storm-trooper thing I can see why people are claiming forgery.

My opinion doesn't matter anyway but I do respect art. I can see where the problem lies as well. People are much more willing to buy duplicated keys than they would a duplicated painting which affects the resell value of their keys made by the original creator. That isn't really fair especially if people are buying them at inflated prices due to rarity.

It makes sense now. The tri-color I personally think is a grey area, but the storm-trooper thing I can see why people are claiming forgery.

My opinion doesn't matter anyway but I do respect art. I can see where the problem lies as well. People are much more willing to buy duplicated keys than they would a duplicated painting which affects the resell value of their keys made by the original creator. That isn't really fair especially if people are buying them at inflated prices due to rarity.

I mean, if somebody can create respectable replicas of existing designs. the original design doesn't seem as illustrious as the overly inflated prices suggest.

People make and buy replicas all the time. If it means you can get a quality, cool looking product at a cheaper price, that's cool with me, the consumer.

Why can't it be a tribute to the original artist's design? Like a band that cover's another band's album.

He's still forging the caps himself and partaking in artistic creation. If you have a problem with that, don't buy them and continue buying the original for their steep prices. You still have plenty of people who will do the same and prefer the original designs, so price inflation shouldn't go anywhere. There will just be two markets of consumers; one that enjoys the exclusive feeling of acquiring rare art, and one that doesn't care about that and just want a cool looking cap for their keyboard.


Stop pestering the man and go make some new designs yourself.

Due to all the trolls, ordering will be paused. Until I see that the maturity level of this forum is high enough, nobody will be able to purchase these caps.

Ordered some yellow and black dye plus a bottle of clear resin, should all come in about a week. Once I experiment around, I will be able to do a full rainbow and in solid or trans colors. The trans resin I'm buying has a 3 hr pot time so it'll cost more per cap, but there won't be as much bubbles

Also in the process of getting more molding material to make the molds for some new designs

Oh and forgot to mention, when the new batch of molding material comes in, alps top row, BS (all rows lol), topre top row and fn, and cherry A and B will be added to the options of caps to choose from. They will be slightly more expensive than the current caps only because I don't have as much of a supply of them as I do top row cherry.

Clear normally = more bubbles unless you have a pressure pot. And if you had a pressure pot you wouldn't of had bubbles to begin with.

Just so that everyone knows who they're dealing with when you make purchases from Pacifist here:

He sold me (and a lot of other people) some WoB Cherry doubleshots in "good condition" a while back. They arrived dirty, and I finally cleaned them yesterday to find significant shine on many of the keys. I sent him a polite request to resolve the situation yesterday, and a second polite followup today, until a fellow member informed me that I've finally made his coveted ban/ignore list. So a PayPal dispute it shall be. Thanks, Pac! :thumb:

In a section where the forum staff have a clear policy of "buyer beware," it is the duty of buyers to report on their experiences with a seller, so that other potential buyers may do just that...BE WARE.

If Pacifist can't stand honest criticism by his customers, he could always go sell his stuff on that other forum, where he likes to refer to this one as GeekWhack.

To be fair, you knew what he meant. How does the fact that he thinks of this place as geekwhack have anything to do with purchasing his caps? Until someone does, and he fails to deliver in that, then these posts aren't criticism of him as a seller of custom caps, but of him as a disliked figure around here.

It's very obvious his intent to copy people's caps, as he stated clearly in his OP. And the problem is people are okay with that, and will purchase them. Either action needs to be taken by the moderation team stopping this, or it is let go. But what good will come of poking fun of his childish ban list and him calling this place geekwhack?

You call them parodies because you think that's your loophole into creating copies of caps, to profit off of them based on the discussion that was brought up in a previous thread, or to gain attention/notoriety for it. Regardless, I'm no fool. Please do not treat me as one telling me that this is a critique of the state of novelty caps today, and not your attempt at money/attention seeking.

I don't agree with what you're doing here, but I also don't agree with how everyone is handling it either. Don't mistake what I say to them as approval on my end of what you're doing.

I think you need to learn what those words (parody, Kritik) mean first, before you try and apply them to your little enterprise as "fair use." I don't think there is any problem with your so-called "copying" of nubbinator's Stormtrooper caps, as that intellectual property belongs to Lucasfilm (now Disney), anyway. So you are both copying their work, in that case. But if you go after other, original designs, I think you will run into big problems.

They aren't copies, they're parodies and a kritik of the condition of novelty caps

it's spelled critique

I like it the way debate does it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kritik

fightin capitalistic cap making pigs cast by cast

Ohkay... I had no idea you were making a philosophical debate using your keys as a vehicle.

I have a criticism for you.  A parody of "capitalistic key designs" which affords you the capital to buy new supplies is hypocritical.

This isn't a protest.  Becoming what you seek to "destroy", deface, or devalue is hypocritical.

There isn't a question of right or wrong... and you are using a ethical standard derived specifically to justify actions which by the very nature of Deontology are to be devoid of good-will.

What's worse is that you are protesting the "capitalistic" nature of artisans arguing that your actions are justified because what the artisans are doing is wrong.

Stating very publicly that you wish to pursue an action without good-will is questionable in its nature because unlike your ethical philosophies there is a strong sense of importance behind the meaning of good-will in most of the people who frequent this forum.

I think there is evidence enough in that you have a place to set up shop because the rules of this place were made to promote fair action by moderators and good-will between members.

PC action of forum goers and staff may not always happen, but you should recognize that being the antithesis of good-natured will turn out badly for you.

Would you possibly be able to make a form for people to write their own names into the ban-list?  I think it would save you time so you can work on all of those parodies.

That would take too much of Pacifist's time away from making his custom keycaps.  Let me help.

Will you at least charge more so you don't have the same issues as the other cap makers? I mean start your prices at like $35 or $40 now so they won't be resold for marked up prices.

There will be no reselling for profit if one can get one at regular price anyways.

And your logic is flawed. CC sold his caps at $45 a pop, and they're being resold for profit anyways. Pricing up will only result in more marked up prices. Pricing down in combination with an ample supply solves the current predicament the laymen are in

im gonna post once more and then drop this as its getting out of hand my end

the trouble with your current story is, that isnt how all this started, this all came about because of comments me and a couple others made about you copying nubbs cap, and your subsequent attitude towards people

the way to play that whole situation was to just plead ignorance, that this is something you really wanted to do, and you are just learning at the moment, and you need to sell your early work so that you can subsidize the cost whilst you are learning

if you were doing this because you were passionate about it, and wanted to be part of this community, people would respect that, instead, it feels like you are taking shots at us, and we have bitten back

trying to pass off you are trying to do something for "the people" yet running around on the internet calling us geekwhack and still expecting our support is why this has gotten to the place it has

if you believe what you are saying then fine, but if you are saying this to try and save some face and you didnt know another way to do it, stop now, dont copy or parody people work, learn your craft, make something of your own and be humble and proud of it, and people will come out to support you

And I never planned to make parodies. But when Binge pretty much gave me the permission to do so, I am doing it.

Yo buddy- I never gave you permission to make decisions for yourself.  I just informed you that you could make them and informed you about what was and was not legal.

Remember I also said that depending on what you choose it will show everyone what you really are.

This thread is locked for the time being.  Will unlock in a bit to let people chill out.

AFTER chilling, please direct arguments about copying of ideas and trademarks, etc. to a new thread, as Ray seems to have locked his discussion thread on this topic.

Remember that personal attacks are against the rules.  This thread has gotten waaaaay out of hand in this regard.  Disagreement, anger, and argumentation are totally OK, but don't let it get personal.

I mean, I was genuinely pitching my design desires to him. Not many of the other cap crafters have said they want to "give the people what they want" so I can't really suggest ideas without being patronized.

Update:

Just wanted to let everybody know that the custom caps will be made starting in a week when summer vacation starts. I'll try to do all the custom orders and then make a bunch in premade colors. I will be able to do a rainbow of colors, and if I can't mix around to get your color, I will let you know, and you can change your colors.

I will be working on some handmade original designs. I am highly open to suggestions, if there's anything you want to see, I will consider the design and potentially make a bunch.


Pacifist I think you're incredibly talented! ****, I wouldn't be able to do this... Would you be able to make some Topre keys that fit the FN row?

Fn topre keys are going to be made in about a week, along with topre Esc row. In addition, alps top row and BS caps will be made. Topre, alps, and BS will all be available only as blanks and will be in custom colors only at first.

I posted this in your duds thread already, but what's the turn around looking like on custom layered-color caps right now?

I have a sexy combo in mind.

Two to three weeks at this point. Just fill out the form and I will send invoices when the cap is ready.

Do you have a quote on the previous post made by a member that said he recieved a cap he purchased from you that arrived dirty and with shine?

Im curious if you have good pictures of your caps. I like the soft pink, blue, red, cream colored blanks and capped colors that are not already consistant with caps like Julysicle and such (wouldnt want a proxy.. would order something original).. but I havent seen any actual good pictures of your finished produts. The one picture you do have looks like someone chewed at the bottom or ran it across pavement.

Im curious if your process has improved since that picture.

I don't have a quote on that because I don't remember it. And frankly that's impossible, because apart from the initial stem fit tests I do, I don't use the cap.

I don't really like to document my caps, but in terms of colors, I can mix colors and get most colors people want.

The only cap pictured was actually my first 2 color cap, and I did not bother to sand down the edges because I wasn't going to sell it.

Apart from sanding, my process hasn't changed much, because at that point I figured out a way to avoid big air bubbles consistently without expensive equipment.

I like the soft pink, blue, red, cream colored blanks and capped colors that are not already consistant with caps like Julysicle and such (wouldnt want a proxy.. would order something original).. but I havent seen any actual good pictures of your finished produts. The one picture you do have looks like someone chewed at the bottom or ran it across pavement.

Im curious if your process has improved since that picture.

I don't have a quote on that because I don't remember it. And frankly that's impossible, because apart from the initial stem fit tests I do, I don't use the cap.

I don't really like to document my caps, but in terms of colors, I can mix colors and get most colors people want.

The only cap pictured was actually my first 2 color cap, and I did not bother to sand down the edges because I wasn't going to sell it.

Apart from sanding, my process hasn't changed much, because at that point I figured out a way to avoid big air bubbles consistently without expensive equipment.

i think if the op refuses to photograph and document his work, people should think twice about paying for it, much like the classifieds, artisans should post clear pics of what they have for sale

First, please edit your first post to accommodate this one, as you have just doubleposted.

Second, I took pictures of the items I sold in the only sale I had, the dud sale, which was solely for selling damaged caps at super cheap prices.

Third, I have not actually sold anything in this specific thread yet, so I don't see why you are so butthurt over this. I am still taking orders, and as I have already said many times, I will not sell anything until I make sure it is structurally stable, and then the buyer will get an invoice. I have not sent out any invoices yet, and as thus do not need to post pictures yet.

And please, think twice before choosing your colors, because I don't want to spend hours making a cap to only discard it because you changed your mind.

I am confused... Obviously there is a market for quality hand crafted key caps.
If you have the skills, materials, and time to make them, why would you intentionally piss off X% of a market with shenanigans like this?
If the time spent making parodies was spent creating original designs, you'd be ten times as rich and popular in half the time.
/boggle

Please refrain from posting off topic remarks. This thread is for selling my custom colored blank keycaps where one can choose three colors to be used in a blank keycap, not to threadcrap.

Thank you, that was what I was looking for. It was hard to dig thru all the **** to figure out what exactly you were selling.

Do you have a color chart?

Thanks, I was asking because it would be easier to pick a predesignated color vs asking you to remake (and waste $) by matching a color exactly.
I will need some time to think, but color me interested  :rolleyes:

Would I be able to get a blue top and a white bottom like the colours from the vortex DS set here?: http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=773
Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?

So since you are leaving does that mean all these people who ordered caps will just have to cry themselves to sleep at night?
