Amiga Inspired Keycaps Set on Kickstarter

[jamie_s]

A fellow Amigan has created a classic Amiga-inspired keycaps set for MX-compatible switches, 300dpi UV printing, I suspect ABS keys. There are lots of customisation options as well.

Loriano who is running this is open to questions and suggestions either on the Kickstarter page or on the original Amigaworld forum below.

Looks like WASD keycaps with UV printing or lasered caps.  You're going to have an immensely difficult time getting people to buy that since it's UV printed, the caps are thin and cheap, and UV printing generally looks terrible on dark caps.

If you're really serious about it, look into something like lasered POM for the black caps and dyesub for the lighter colored caps.  It's the only way I see it having a possibility of succeeding.

He should be rather running this as a GB through Gateron for lasered POM and dyesubbed PBT as nubs says. The price is sort of okay, but if you're going to all this trouble for a custom set, why not make it a NICE custom set that you'd much rather use than the stock caps on any board.

I'm not registering in either of those places just to tell him this, though, so hopefully someone else does, or at least points him to this thread.

Thanks for the feedback guys, this isn't my KS, I'm am a backer however and as I have some interest in Mechs thought I'd cross post it here to help out the campaign. I posted a link back to this thread on AW but I don't know how likely it is Loriano will be in a position to go for another manufacturing process.

Cheers

My 2 pink Amiga "A" (win) caps , the caps belong to my Pink/Blue ISO set I bought from WASD last year.
