Title: [Group Buy] Titanium Skull R4 Keycaps [Waiting for production]
Post by: feng on Fri, 08 June 2012, 13:48:18: Eventually, I'm able to get more titanium keycaps. There were a few for sale when I first came to this forum. Now here's the official group buy.

Only the skull R4 keycap will be available.

Two different choices:
1. Skull with clear eyes
2. Skull with sprad sand eyes

The deadline will be June 30. But I'll receive some, not all of them, before the deadline. So I'll try to ship some out to those of you who have ordered probably by June 15.

I presume the "clear eyes" are glass or something like that?

Looks like the eyes are solid and will not let light thru.

You could very easily justify having a jewler set a pair of rubys in the eyes. Hey, if you spend $50 on a keycap, nothing is unreasonable. ;-)

Just a thought... Has anyone tried to fit one of the metal keycaps with the cross cut all the way across like this on a Topre switch?

About 50 pieces will be made. And I was told the next batch including titanium modifiers will probably in process in August.

I meant spray sand eyes. Sorry about the spelling mistake.
The clear eyes are not glass, they are some kind of glass cement, or glue.

Yeah the spray sand eyes will not let light through.

100% titanium. These have nothing to do with aluminum at all. :)

They're totally different. :) I first saw these titanium skulls like 2-3 years ago.

Hopefully I'll surprise you guys. :P iMav knows what I wanna bring over. Two kinds of "geekhack" exclusive aluminum keycaps. R4 and backspabe. OK, that's all I can say so far.

LoL, sounds like you're baiting people. :P

Quote from: feng;610015

They have a closer relationship than you might think. IIRC the person making them or involved in making them had contacted cc maybe 2-3 years ago after seeing cc's keys and asked if they could make them. I don't recall cc's response though. The first skull shaped cc keycap appeared sometime in 2008 and on this site in 2009, just fyi. CC's titanium skull came out in late 09 or early 10. I can't remember precisely when I saw it. Just a quick-n-fun history lesson for those who have not been around here all that long or followed gh back then.

I'm not saying any of this for any other reason than it's pretty impressive that a small time artist has caused such a great deal of industry stirr and inspiration. Many items and opportunities have come about because of his creativity in these keys and the interest others have had in them. I hope his efforts pay off some day for him just like it is for everyone else.
