Hey there geekhack, I'm Mouse.
A friend of mine is a lurker here, and he's been ranting at me about keycaps for years. Specifically, that I should make them. I spent five years as a dental laboratory technician, and it seems that a lot of the skills I used there are going to be pretty applicable to
printing money making keycaps. The materials are different, but similar enough that I think I should do okay. I've been reading threads on here for a little while, and I finally created an account. At some point I might try selling these, but I have pretty viciously high standards for my work, and I'm going to have to meet those standards before I start selling stuff.
As for my own mechanical keyboard... fetish... it's pretty mild. I have a couple Steelseries 6Gv2's, both the black switches and the red switches, currently using the red. I like making stuff, because, it's fun I guess? Anyway, I bought some materials yesterday and have started playing with them to get a feel for them, and I'm pretty pleased with the accuracy of the reproduction I'm getting.
I'm going to be playing with casting, and that's probably going to take some time. Most of my experience is with high-temp metal casting, and this is very different.
Just thought I'd stop in and say hello!
