Yo folks

Yo waddup.

Haha.

Hey, I'm new here. I discovered this a few days ago (coming from /r/mechanicalkeyboards).
I thought, I would try to do some keycap jobs and maybe try to sell them here/get someone to rate them.
I haven't got a mechanical keyboard (ordered one yesterday, waiting for it to come) and I have never done anything with keycaps so it should be interesting. Maybe figure out an interesting way to paint them or something, i don't know.

Some of the things that I have done in the past : http://imgur.com/a/pFIEG

So,yeah. HELLO

Yeah. I noticed you guys tend to 3d print them. I have no ability to do that, so I guess , for the start I buy blank keycaps in ebay or something ? (living in Europe)

Welcome to Geekhack!

That's quite some impressive artwork you have created!

People have tried all sorts of things with keycaps, and pretty much all of them have been well received by the community.

Good luck with yours :)
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
