I had a mechanical keyboard long before I joined in on the artisan scene. I remembered seeing skulls and robot novelty caps and i thought to myself, "man those are so dumb, why would i want to spend $20 on plastic." Fast forward a few years, and here comes KeyKollectiv with some bangers. The watermelon snackey, it spoke to me in so many ways. I needed that cap, more than air itself. I spent months trying to find one for sale on the resale market and some kind soul sold me one for retail. You all know how the rest of the story goes. The community is the reason why I've stuck around the artisan scene, but KeyKollectiv, you guys are the main reason why I'm even here to begin with.
Thanks for bringing a fresh style and accessible keycaps to the community. <3
For those who are interested, below is my first set up

wew. thanks for the giveaway kudos!
Had this really cool dream that i was swimming in a lake and having a grand ole time. woke up and noticed my arms were wet. Ya see, we drank pretty heavily that night and my girl had thrown up on the bed while she was asleep. My arms were covered in her vomit. and the smell.. that smell! So naturally, I began throwing up. Girl woke up, saw the mess and started round 2 of her yackfest.
it was a repressed memory until i started thinking of what grimey story i can tell. Thank you kudos for bringing this back.

Super excited... And both a pleasant and happy surprise to see him back doing his art.
Will leave sub from Chicago to drop his macro of the keycap, but here are some quick snaps of the "Grimace v2.8" (a revision moving from v2 to v3) next to a Grimace v1 and v2 (Zipnotyzed and Omni-Klepto, respectively).The sculpt is evolving to a truly grimey form. The key was given away as part of a trivia award at the end of the panel/breakout session.
