[IC] Monster 3D Pure Silver Keycaps
« on: Sun, 15 September 2013, 04:23:30 »
Cinnn recently just finished making those iron man metal keycaps. And now we're working on something different with high quality and unique materials and designs. From now on, our products will be presented under the name of Monster. We have two product lines right now including regular metal keycaps (aluminum/zinc) and luxury metal keycap (silver and gold).

The keycaps will be made of pure silver.

Each of these keycaps will be hand made. Since it's silver, we will use coating to protect the surface. The coating will last for at least a year.

We will have 11 designs available as follows:

1. 35484-0


2. 35485-1

3. 35487-2

4. 35489-3

5. 35491-4


6. 35492-5


7. 35493-6

8. 35495-7


9. 35496-8

10. 35498-9

11. 35500-10


The price range will depend on the number of keycaps we ordered.  The price is for one single keycap. The price will decrese if only we reach the next MOQ of one certain design. Each design has its own price range and they don't share a discount on MOQ.

10-30: $82-$90
30-50: $74-$82
50-100: $66-$74


We will also provide an additional service (about $10 for one keycap) for the engravings on the four sides around the keycap. We have many different engravings and we haven't decided yet which ones we're going to use. Persoanlly I so much want the flaming engraving.

35502-11 35504-12 35506-13 35508-14


Please post your words here if you're interested in these pure silver keycaps.


One last thing, anyone interested in pure GOLD keycaps? It would cost about 10 times of the silver ones. If a silver one is $80, then a gold one will be $800.

Yes we might be crazy, but we're not kidding.

If you consider youself as crazy as we are (even crazier), you might want to think about this.

The 11 designs above can be used for your custom orders of pure gold keycaps as well.


Thanks! :)

That cyborg skeletal head is interesting. The idea of having glass/crystal in the right eye for LED's is really cool. Other than that I really love the engraved caps, would potentially be interested in something like that.

After the coating worning out, oxidizing will occur. But you can still use some products like toothpaste to wipe the oxidation off.

These are pretty nice, are those keychains in the first few pics?? and if so.... are they purchase-able??
Those are not keychains, just buttons. I guess they're available to purchase, if you want I can ask cinn where to buy.

We'll be using platinum for coating. It has the best effect to protect silver.

You mean like having the kind of engravings all over the keycap (top side and four sides around)? If so yeah it's possible to do so.

Yes, all over the cap, I'd get two :)

Ah, I see...
As you wrote coating (instead of plating) I assumed something like clear-coat, but platinum plating is really nice!

Sorry about the confusion, I thought coating and plating are kinda the same thing. I actually meant plating in this case.

I've talked to cinn about this and he said it is possible. But our concern is that unlike platinum, gold plated keycaps will look pretty bad after being oxidized. We can provide this if you really want it, but we don't recommend.

i must ask are these oem? if so i really like the look of no.3 and would defiantly be interested in a few of those... i did have one idea... what do you think of making no.1 so that the skull is on the top of the cap but the headdress is engrave on the sides of the keycap? also could the gold (maybe even silver) caps come with a coa? if so and if the gold keycaps were still available in march (tax return time) i would buy one. also i love the idea of flame engravings and would the silver keycaps be available without the platinum plating...just polished?

I like the idea of a silver cap, but I'm not a fan personally of extreme 3D caps. On the other hand, if we had silver caps with full intricate engraving that's unique to each cap or something, that I'd hop on. Even if it wasn't unique, just ornate in nature. I like that kind of style. Something like this where the negative space is filled in with black or a darker color. I'd be in for one of those.

I would be interested in the gold keycap, but as has been said by others, I really would only be interested if it included fine engraving, similar to those found on guns, as seen above. I would also be willing to pay more for it if needed for the finer engraving, or for silver engraved into the gold. In addition, I also really like the idea of the cross you have above, with the gemstone in the middle, but it would need to have a finer/more intricate design (the current one looks too much like a cheap mold production), and having a lab created and faceted ruby, emerald, or sapphire in the middle. We can discuss prices if you think this is all feasible.. ^.^;;

We're currently really busy with resin keycaps. We'll try to make the group buy for silver keycaps happen by the end of November. If the price is acceptable, we will even consider platinum plating which is even more expensive than 24K gold plating.
