The one on the left if a FN key from brocaps, and the ones on the right are julysicles from click clack. ;)
Either of those two are going to require hunting the classifieds. I believe nubbinator is making FN keycaps now, and they are like that. So unless click clack starts making new ones like that the only two places to look are going to be from bro caps or nubbinator.The one on the left if a FN key from brocaps, and the ones on the right are julysicles from click clack. ;)
Yeah I know who makes the ones I posted. I was just wondering where I'd get some like them or if there were any other companies/people that made keys like them
Where would I go to get resources to make keys like this? Even just to mess around with it. I looked around online and searched through here, but couldn't really find anything on how these are made.Did you check the making things together sub-forum?

connorelsea, that desk looks familiar think i have the same one is it IKEA?
I'm on my phone so I can't link them but there are some threads that are very detailed in the cap making process.
I'll be making some soon once more pigment comes in :)

Can you link me to wherever you found guides?
Also I think I might try my hand at some of these. But I'm not sure what paint will stay or what kind of coating I should use. Found these on a Google Images search and they look super cool.

Why polish? Are they made by a specific person? And I've seen people dip things, I just wasn't sure what to coat it in. Sorry for all of the questions, I'm just really interested and everyone has to start somewhere! :/

Because it works well for it. There may be some other things people use to texturize it and such, but that's the mail one. I believe they just clear coat it with a lacquer/varnish/polish to make it last longer.
The second from the right one is pretty cool looking
Not sure if you've figured this out already but - I do nail art, so. Make sure you're using filtered or distilled water, and it needs to be at room temperature, water that's too cold or hot will set your polish too fast. Also drip the polish with the brush almost touching the surface of the water - it should be able to run off the brush and onto the water without actually making a seperate drip. Not sure if this is helpful or not... Good luck! You have some great colour combos going on there.

I think I'm getting better. Gotta' keep practicing though. I think this is the best one yet. I'm working on minimalising the imperfections due to human error.Oh yeah, these are getting really good :thumb:

I've been practicing more and more. These are getting pretty good. There are some obvious imperfections where the paint ripped, etc, but I think these are a pretty good example of the progress. And sorry for the picture quality, the autofocus on my DSLR broke!

The middle cap of the top row is sweet, great job. :thumb:
Got the keys from nubbinator today! Thanks so much! They all look great and this really shows how great of a community this is! But before I make tons, would anyone actually be interested in purchasing some of the really good paintes keys (without imperfections) on cherry MX keys for a low price?

This isn't the classifieds ;D
I've seen loads of key caps that are "blended colors" and look pretty cool. I know many of them are insanely expensive and hard to get a hold of, but where should I look to find these kind of keys or artsy keys like it. Are there any made by people other than the big name and expensive artisans? Below are some good examples.

Hi, may you please tell me which keycaps are (not the blended ones) the ones on the left board?
TY
Have you tried mixing any thinners in? It could be the polish is too thick or low quality. The temps or humidity could be off and the caps themselves may need some prep work.
Purple and silver, miami theme, yellow and black but these caps look so cool that I'll probably buy one regardless of the color.
