Title: [FS] meeba's keycaps, etc.
Post by: funkymeeba on Tue, 04 June 2013, 23:50:31
Some of you might think it's unusual for the name of the topic to be all lowercase like that. It's okay. One day we will all understand the ways of meebism.

What I am offering you in this thread is stuff that I have that has the potential to bring you that much closer to enmeebament. Think of it like enlightenment, but with a lot more beer. All items will get shipped USPS Priority mail. I will now ship international, but do note that international orders will not come in a fancy gift box.

If you like something and would like to purchase, please post here in the thread. I will PM you and we'll work out the shipping details.

Currently up for sale:
meebcaps - Set #5 ($20 + shipping)

This is the set labelled #5, straight out of my kitchen. It is a full 37-key set of hand-masked, hand-dyed PBT DSA-profile caps, plus an extra funky skull cap for your viewing pleasure! These ended up a dark brownish-olive-green color. The pictures don't do them justice. I could use better lighting in the apartment, but all my lights are either red, amber, or blue. These will fit MX-compatible stems. I was about to ship this out to dorkvader, but then I had another set come up that fit his desires just that little bit better, so now this set needs a home.


Already sold:

meebcaps - Set #3 - Sold to Lbeuol

(http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/9057/img0417wv.jpg)

This is the third run of meebcaps. It is a nice orange-cream-sicle flavored keycap set, ready for your gentle touch on some variety of MX-compatible keyboard.

For those who aren't in the IRC channel or on my super exclusive list of totally-rad-and-awesome-dudes-on-GH, meebcaps refers to my custom dye project. Thank SmallFry and CPTBadAss for the name. All caps are 1x PBT sphericals (DSA profile). When you buy a set of meebcaps, you are getting 37 keys, two of which have homing bumps on them. They are effectively blank, and since DSA is orientation- and row-agnostic, you are free to scatter these all over your board just as you please.

Please note that this is done by hand, and even though I have a particular process in place, things can still be wildly unpredictable some days. As such, the prices on these will vary a bit (just by a couple of dollars, don't worry). There may also be some artifacts from the process. I can sometimes miss some of the masking left on the caps, but it can be safely scratched off.


More fun items to appear here soon! Sorry, I can not sell sessy time with Binge to you. Let me know if you have any custom requests, I may be able to work something out for you. I do not have modifiers or space bars.

Sweet, it is truly awesome to see geekhackers doing new/different things, especially with keycaps!!!

I'll keep an eye on your stuff meeba!

Thanks for all the kind words, guys! I'm going to go ahead and lockreopen this topic for now, at least until I have more caps available for you. I have the next set prepped for dyeing, but what color will it be? Who knows! :D

EDIT: Seriously, it's re-open now. Give me some ideas if you have them! I've got plenty of boxes of dye sitting here. Maybe some two-tone ideas coming soon? I think I've got just the thing...
Title: Re: [FS] meeba's keycaps, etc.
Post by: pandather on Wed, 05 June 2013, 01:07:42
It will be a red on white! It'd be cool to have a set with white and the bright red accents!

I don't know if I'll be able to manage that so well. I'll look into what I can do. Perhaps just a gamer kit on that one, though. Any method for a whole 37-key set would probably be rather excessive.
Title: Re: [FS] meeba's keycaps, etc.

Draw a shark on a 37 set, dye the caps a drab grey :)

Be cool to see a checkerboard set. Like every other key is blue/purple. Alternating colors with that cool marbled pattern. Or each row is a diff color.

Also, I think theres more retro DSA sets coming so it'd be awesome to see a set match the mods that those sets will have.
Title: Re: [FS] meeba's keycaps, etc.
Post by: Krogenar on Wed, 05 June 2013, 10:59:53
Those are beautiful, meeba. I'm liking the subtle, marbled design of them.

Those keys look positively edible!  I can imagine their taste in my mouth.  Butter caramel, a suggary crumbly kind.  With a dash of orange cream flavoring.

Someone should get these and combine them with blank DSA PBT caps from SP!  These would be hot with the red modifier caps.

Does $26 + shipping sweeten the deal at all?

I might be interested in those key caps. Though I would rather some in a lighter colour, if you ever make some.

Unfortunately, it's way expensive for me to get everything I would need to do full sets, especially of DCS profile. There's also the issue of getting space bars. SP only has ABS space bars.

Looks like it should be $24 just for shipping to get them to the UK. That's small flat-rate Priority International, at least. I'll see if I can't knock that number down a bit. These are, indeed, MX. :D
