Title: [IC] kc_orange_60
Post by: biip on Tue, 09 December 2025, 07:10:58
(https://images.keycapsule.shop/kc_orange/kc_orange_60-banner.png)

Introducing kc_orange_60 keyboard, a tribute to orange maps (whether it's DoD 3.1, TF2, or CS:S) of our early gaming days, born from late-night sessions and pure nostalgia. Available in anodized Orange or Grey. A Keycapsule x Flatbrains collab.

The GB is planned for January 2026 exclusively on Keycapsule (https://keycapsule.shop) and will come along our upcoming third keycap capsule (kc_orange).

We would like to hear your comments, so please complete our IC form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeVIff4wZqyXehv3_4XGa4CXeoZFovdgxqgyB7APBXiLrrLKw/viewform?usp=header).
We are still considering whether to offer two versions, with and without a wrist rest.

Beautiful board.

FYI, your embedded link to the store points to:

Code: [Select]
"https//keycapsule.shop"
Which Chrome really dislikes.

This is the most random (but welcome) design inspiration. Love cp_orange.

As soon as I saw that first mock (heck, even the name with the underscores) I knew it was half life related. Will definitely keep an eye on this, it's gorgeous. Great work!

Quick update:

We will offer two versions: One with a wrist rest and one without!

Updated pricing:



We will ship worldwide through Keycapsule.

But remain vigilant, because it is imminent.

Blown away by this design. Many great memories and countless hours spent in Hammer Editor. I'm probably in for the whole bundle.

I was looking forward to buying the keycaps and deskmat, but it looks like Keycapsule doesn't ship to California? If that is indeed the case, good luck to whomever picks up this cool-looking set.
