Hello everyone. Back with something completely different than my norm as of late. Would anyone be interested in a Tron-themed novelty keycap?:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/Phlq22o.png)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/qZR6ZwD.png)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/SV39GIr.png)
Flynn Lives!
I've seen the new Tron movie but I don't recognize this.
Ah, yes. Even still, I'm not sure if I saw this out in the wild that I would recognize it as Tron-inspired. I would ask where they got a Tetris keycap.I've seen the new Tron movie but I don't recognize this.
has to be 'inspired' otherwise SP won't make it due to copyrights etc

So green on black?
I like tron so I think its a cool idea I might buy a couple if they were cheap enough. :D
Frankly, I am getting just a might bored with Fallout-themed keycaps and I want to try something new...

$3 each

I'd have to think about that.
What profile and materials?

No DCS? is it just 1u or could you do 1.25u bottom row also?
Love it! If only a identity disc would translate well onto a key cap.
Also, these in a black with the "T" transparent would be so cool.

Transparent for back lighting I presume?

Can this be done? On classic space IC they have a full polycarbonate keycap. Can SP do just the legend on polycarbonate and keep the ABS body?
Yes, you can doubleshot with clear legend and solid base colour using polycarbonate and ABS, or even the othe way round as 00Zero has already done in the round 2 fallout caps and recent DSA soda caps.
Problem is the support grid for the legend tends to give a pattern to the clear part:

Thanks Oobly! I should ask more questions before making any definite statements.
I would pay more for something like this on these keys.
YES. Tron is my ****.
I'm not a lawyer but that would appear to imply that you can use the logo, at least in part. You're only using a tiny portion of it anyway. If you were using the whole logo that might be a grey area.
What's this? A Tetris-themed keycap named in my honor? I'm definitely interested. If only there was an entire backlit themed set to go with it...
I know there's no chance of the TRON keys being made but a guy can dream. It would be cool to make the logos / text out of glow in the dark blue plastic. They could be backlit with blue leds to make them glow.

SP has a technique of doing a Laser etched legend into a painted surface like these DCS keycaps:Show Image(http://cdn6.bigcommerce.com/s-ktpi93fl/products/84/images/674/esc__73681.1444252514.1280.1280.JPG?c=2)
Not sure if they can do SA or DSA using this technique, though.

Asked Melissa about this, it would be cost prohibitive. To give you an idea, below is the price list per Polycarbonate color:
25 keys $10.51 each
50 keys $6.81 each
75 keys $5.58 each
100 keys $4.96 each
150 keys $4.34 each
200 keys $4.04 each
250 keys $3.85 each
500 keys $3.48 each
Oh, and the only available for this printing technique is SA Row 3.
I think I will just stick with vibrantly colored legends on Black/Grey keycaps, thank you very much...

If nothing else, at least you've saved Richard Dawkins a lot of time and trouble. Instead of arguing with theists, he can just wear this shirt and point to it to prove his assertion.
Tron fan here. I'd hop on this if the price was right! What about some Daftpunkish designs with the tron colors? Just an idea...

I was just thinking this symbol would make a great substitute for the Windows symbol for non-Windows users. People can just call it the Tetris key if they aren't big TRON fans. :P

Okay, so I am thinking of doing two choices with this GB:
1 x ABS Doubleshot 1x1u SA Row 3 at $2 eachShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/qZR6ZwD.png)
- or -
2 x ABS Doubleshot 1x1.25u SA Row 3 at $3 a setShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/ks2JIant.png)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/ks2JIant.png)
What do you think?

I like the Row 3 options, something a little different than your other GBs.

So long as I can get some Daft Punk legends, I'm all over it.
But yes, I like TRON too.

Something daft punk/TRON inspired would be really cool. I like where your head is at!
As in the updated OP, they will be only singles in the first run in Black and White.
