Definitely interested... How about an acid key, like a blotter tab or something. ;)
Some of these have been done:

But a set could be cool if done right. Those images would only work as a dye sub unless they were simplified.
Yea we could do them as Polycarb doubleshots, but like i said, for them the be doubleshots we need to simplify the designs.
This was SP's take at the pot leaf:Show Image(http://pimpmykeyboard.com/images/ItemsforSale/sastonerkit.jpg)
Doubleshots have cleaner lines and more contrast. All dyesubs are not created equal...in my opinion SP makes the best dyesubs, but they are expensive, and colors can only be printed on white keys.
See http://imgur.com/a/kgX1n (http://imgur.com/a/kgX1n) for reference...FYI that dysub is not a SP dyesub.
I wonder how much detail we'd have to sacrifice to make it suitable for doubleshot...
What about a big fat Cuban cigar for a 6th? Like I said in the other thread I'm in for a set.

If you compare your original pot leaf to the one that SP made...that's about how much.

I'm in although I do think Cigars would be a better option than the dice or the cash. Nice avatar btw ;)yes you both have lovely avatars I just noticed them!! Welcome to the BM club!
Double shots are in my opinion superior. However another thing you need to consider is that double shots require manufacturing a separate mold for each legend. These molds will cost a bit of money to be made so you will need to raise more interest and reach certain numbers as far as quantity goes to dilute those costs. These quantities are measured in tiers eg. Tier 1: 0-49 sets, tier 2: 50-99 sets etc.(numbers not exact) as you reach higher tiers the cost per set goes down. Sometimes it's difficult to reach these numbers and it gets pretty expensive when you are doing sets with 6 legends as apposed to one single key. The benefit is once the molds are made they are forever and you can mix and match different color combinations in future runs of the set if there is interest for it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't that band be on the other end of that there cigar?

I noticed that as well when I was examining the close up of the red biohazard keycap that qwerkeys sells. The edges are a hot mess.

I think my half-joke got lost in the thread where this all started, but you actually might consider offering an option to do these in colors that complement the Miami cap set (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=43590.msg948826#msg948826) that's upcoming. Crockett & Tubbs!
We can do all these designs at QWERkeys with UV printing method, Could do them on black/white or white/black B series.mmm B series. That would look nice.

That would be very cool. About how much per keycap does that come out to? What kind of MOQ?
so this would mean a minimum of 50 caps per legend. So 50 sets minimum need to be produced.We can do all these designs at QWERkeys with UV printing method, Could do them on black/white or white/black B series.mmm B series. That would look nice.

MOQ 50 keycaps, £2 per key up to 100, then £1.60 per key up to 200, 500+ £1.10
