Title: Custom Keycaps?
Post by: Walshware on Mon, 06 July 2020, 22:35:55

Hello :) I’m new to this world of keyboards but I’m building a keyboard and I was wondering if there is a place to have custom keycaps made? So far I really like the hyperx white pudding keycaps but I would also like the spacebar to have a cool design and I want the keys to also list their function bind as well, preferably in the front. I’ve looked at many keycaps and have yet to find one I really want. If anyone knows a person or a site that does customs it would be greatly appreciated :)

Hello.

https://www.maxkeyboard.com/
https://www.wasdkeyboards.com/

Both can do custom keycaps. There is many options as, choosing only the colors OR do a Adobe illustrator file to do what ever you want.
Keep in mind, this is ABS plastic very thin. It get shiny with time. But this is all customized so ...  ;)

I link you an exemple of what i did once. The keyboard was not finished but anyway.

Thank you for the reply! It seems like those websites only allow you to customize pre existing keycaps? I can’t seem to find where it gives the option to actually make one yourself
