Cinnn recently just finished making those iron man metal keycaps. And now we're working on something different with high quality and unique materials and designs. From now on, our products will be presented under the name of Monster. We have two product lines right now including regular metal keycaps (aluminum/zinc) and luxury metal keycap (silver and gold).
The keycaps will be made of pure silver.
Each of these keycaps will be hand made. Since it's silver, we will use coating to protect the surface. The coating will last for at least a year.
We will have 11 designs available as follows:
1. [attach=1]
2. [attach=2]
3. [attach=3]
4. [attach=4]
5. [attach=5]
6. [attach=6]
7. [attach=7]
8. [attach=8]
9. [attach=9]
10. [attach=10]
11. [attach=11]
The price range will depend on the number of keycaps we ordered. The price is for one single keycap. The price will decrese if only we reach the next MOQ of one certain design. Each design has its own price range and they don't share a discount on MOQ.
10-30: $82-$90
30-50: $74-$82
50-100: $66-$74
We will also provide an additional service (about $10 for one keycap) for the engravings on the four sides around the keycap. We have many different engravings and we haven't decided yet which ones we're going to use. Persoanlly I so much want the flaming engraving.
[attach=12] [attach=13] [attach=14] [attach=15]
Please post your words here if you're interested in these pure silver keycaps.
One last thing, anyone interested in pure GOLD keycaps? It would cost about 10 times of the silver ones. If a silver one is $80, then a gold one will be $800.
Yes we might be crazy, but we're not kidding.
If you consider youself as crazy as we are (even crazier), you might want to think about this.
The 11 designs above can be used for your custom orders of pure gold keycaps as well.
Thanks! :)

What happened with the silver when the coating worn out?
-
That cyborg skeletal head is interesting. The idea of having glass/crystal in the right eye for LED's is really cool. Other than that I really love the engraved caps, would potentially be interested in something like that.
-
These are pretty nice, are those keychains in the first few pics?? and if so.... are they purchase-able??
-
How about rhodium flashing? It's a common method to protect silver from oxidizing...
-
g... gold... $800...WTS house pm me
-
want!
-
Is it possible to get the kind of engravings you find on guns, all around the cap (no monster montif)?

This is GH, ppl with insane amounts of discretionary income, silver??? when we moving onto the real deal, like platinum? I expect gucci ming to bling it out.
-
Wow, #1 and #4 really remind of me hobo nickels, which IMO are super cool!

Wow, these are so cool.

After the coating worning out, oxidizing will occur. But you can still use some products like toothpaste to wipe the oxidation off.

Those are not keychains, just buttons. I guess they're available to purchase, if you want I can ask cinn where to buy.

We'll be using platinum for coating. It has the best effect to protect silver.

You mean like having the kind of engravings all over the keycap (top side and four sides around)? If so yeah it's possible to do so.
-
Cool stuff Feng & Cinnn, definitely interested
-
These are very cool. Especially the engraved caps.

Yes, all over the cap, I'd get two :)

Ah, I see...
As you wrote coating (instead of plating) I assumed something like clear-coat, but platinum plating is really nice!
-
Also, regarding the gold caps...
How about thick gold plated copper or silver caps? Should drop the price to make it more affordable :3
-
Design 1 and 2 looks cool. I'm interested but depends when the GB happen.
-
Definitely interested, depending on price.

Sorry about the confusion, I thought coating and plating are kinda the same thing. I actually meant plating in this case.

I've talked to cinn about this and he said it is possible. But our concern is that unlike platinum, gold plated keycaps will look pretty bad after being oxidized. We can provide this if you really want it, but we don't recommend.
-
I see...
Let's stick with platinum then :)
-
i must ask are these oem? if so i really like the look of no.3 and would defiantly be interested in a few of those... i did have one idea... what do you think of making no.1 so that the skull is on the top of the cap but the headdress is engrave on the sides of the keycap? also could the gold (maybe even silver) caps come with a coa? if so and if the gold keycaps were still available in march (tax return time) i would buy one. also i love the idea of flame engravings and would the silver keycaps be available without the platinum plating...just polished?
-
Any update on this?
-

Would be cool to have the entire alum case engraved like that...

I like the idea of a silver cap, but I'm not a fan personally of extreme 3D caps. On the other hand, if we had silver caps with full intricate engraving that's unique to each cap or something, that I'd hop on. Even if it wasn't unique, just ornate in nature. I like that kind of style. Something like this (http://www.gunengraver.biz/images/silverscroll.jpg) where the negative space is filled in with black or a darker color. I'd be in for one of those.
-
any chance there will be a group buy?
-
I would be interested in the gold keycap, but as has been said by others, I really would only be interested if it included fine engraving, similar to those found on guns, as seen above. I would also be willing to pay more for it if needed for the finer engraving, or for silver engraved into the gold. In addition, I also really like the idea of the cross you have above, with the gemstone in the middle, but it would need to have a finer/more intricate design (the current one looks too much like a cheap mold production), and having a lab created and faceted ruby, emerald, or sapphire in the middle. We can discuss prices if you think this is all feasible.. ^.^;;

-
wow. i really like that dragon too :D
-
I want diamond stud 24k gold 😄

We're currently really busy with resin keycaps. We'll try to make the group buy for silver keycaps happen by the end of November. If the price is acceptable, we will even consider platinum plating which is even more expensive than 24K gold plating.
