Title: Chinese Keycap Manufacturer
Post by: Mountbatten on Sat, 06 February 2021, 03:16:31

Hi guys!

Im currently working on a design for a keycap, Im also canvassing for a manufacturer. I was wondering if ya'll had experience with any chinese keycap manufacturers.

I've contacted the big names but the price is too steep.

My main concern is the quality. I plan on making it SA profile PBT double shot. Are there any chinese manufacturers that could produce it cheap without sacrificing quality (or like the best quality among the chinese manufacturers)?

Thanks! :)

I think best bet is to contact someone from Taobao or look for a listing?? I am not really for this but I only heard about this. In any cases good with this one hoping for the best!

Good suggestion! I was thinking the same but do you know any other Chinese online shopping websites except Taobao you have good experience with?

Taobao usually gives u the greatest variety. Else you can see China proxies like zfrontier

SA from domikey or Maxkey think is a good option

Did the manufacturer of OSA profile keycaps improve their tooling? I remember their partnership with TaehaTypes (OSA sleeves) but I didn't follow much of it.
