They look cool. I don't have enough artisans to fill it up. Well I guess it's time to buy more  ;D

Any rough estimate or range that the price should fall in?  I might be down for 1.

Interested in an artisan box. I have heard bad things about the one originally linked to, but it seems we have some promising alternatives. Definitely interested in what is produced State side.

I would REALLY like for this to happen, or at least ghostjuggernaut's. It seems artisan boxes are hard to come by, or are no longer in production, but surely there are many others out there that have need for them. Especially now that the keycap community has grown and we're seeing more artisans for other switch types.

Did someone find anything like this in EU? Also... is a medicine compartment box good for keycaps?

I'm sure it would be fine. I used a fishing box for a bit. I have out grown it. Now I use a wood box with foam padding.

I'm still waiting on info. The manufacturer I am using is pretty backed up right now, and a prototype isn't high on the priority list. Once I get info I'll update GH.

For those that just can't wait for this GB to happen:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FZ35MDW

Will a keycap fit in there snug, if so.. PERFECT!  :)

It looks like a good one, but it's too high and the caps will move around.

this is what I use.

My key-wala's are snug but other caps have room around them.

Ordering off taobao kinda triggers me, wish I could just get something like that one on the first picture off of Amazon or ebay or something. Appreciate the links though!

Hauteware Boxes came in -- Verdict: Can't recommend

The boxes look great, and fit *most* artisans perfectly. However, it attracts dust, fingerprints, and scratches easily. My second box came with a ton of scratches from shipping. It does look sleek, but im pretty annoyed at some of the shortcomings (and the fact that i mistakenly chose DHL shipping costing me way too much for these little boxes  :'( -- I'll most likely trade 1 for another artisan box or sell it off to recoup some loss)



The lid is pressure-fit to stay in place. The lid is ANNOYING to remove-- basically, have to jam ur nail under the lid to get it open. The artisans are also hard to remove, which is expected because of the snug fit.


One cool thing is that the little separators can be remove to allow varying sizes, like mods or spacebars


The problem comes when you have some artisans that protrude a bit, like Booper Bruce/Keyngv3's nose/ Any BS artisan/Nightcaps Turtle Shell. The lid fits really close to the acrylic seperators and barely leaves the artisans any room to extend outward.

All in all, i'd say ~nope~ Go for the one that everyone likes from taobao, and don't use taobaofocus, maybe bihner?



If someone were to organize a group buy to have these type of boxes cut to people's specs (color, size, depth) I think they'd get alot of orders -- considering how much the artisan game is growin'  :rolleyes: The slightly OCD would appreciate sure appreciate it! Hell, if I ever get the time, I may look into it! :))

Well that's a bummer. They look sleek but seeing it in your photos, in a more realistic setting, makes them more fashionable than functional.
You say there's really close space from Bruce to the lid; does that mean Bruce will fit at all? I have the sliding-lid version from TaoBao and Bruce will not fit at all.

Funny that you mention Bhiner instead. I was thinking of using FOCUS next because Bhiner ripped me off in my last order.  :))

In that case, taobaofocus may be better, perhaps if i didn't mistakenly pick DHL, prices would have been better --

They literally just stuck the box that was shipped to them in a DHL bag and sent it over to me ~ so the company handling fulfillment could have been at fault for the scratches all over my 2nd box.


Bruce will not fit at all, the lid would put too much pressure on the top of it & it barely get the sides down to secure it  :'(

overpaid on taobao again --- but am really happy with this one


its tall enough for all artisans!!


and trays come out as well as seen on my timestamp for MM  :rolleyes:

My one criticism is that the little separators are fragile and really only kind of hold them in place-- they will fall out of place easier than higher walled boxes~~

other than that, I can recommend  :thumb:

Excellent! I saw nguyen had that one and was intrigued, so I looked it up on TaoBao.
I like how it's clear, but I'm still iffy about the drawers. I'd like to be able to look at all my caps at once, but I guess this solution is the best if you want a drawered organizer. And it's tall enough for tall caps! I bookmarked it, so definitely plan on ordering one in the future.
Can you move the rows and columns around? I have wider caps; if so, are there enough to maybe fit a space bar in there?

Unfortunately you cant but it does have that far right space for larger artisans or 1.75 blanks and what not -- my keybutos where a bit too wide for the regular spaces so I had to nestle them in those.

I know what you mean by wants to see them all at once, but im liking the idea of a box now, im even throwing my artisan stickers all over the sides :P

probably wont go in on the alu hitlu boxes now
