Elsea Keys
Key Caps, Art, Painting (Pre-made + Request)

[About]
My name is Connor and some friends and I have begun making custom key caps using hydrographic printing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrographics_(printing)). We have experimented with many designs and many application methods, and now think we are ready to sell them for a low price to the community. In the future we would like to begin customizing keyboard bodies with the same painting methods and begin making custom sculpted keys. We would like to thank Nubbinator for providing some base materials to begin producing painting keys.

[How to Buy]
If you are purchasing from a sale, PM me and post in this thread that you have PMed me. Money will be sent to my PayPal account that I will give you via PM. We will then work out shipping, which the price of the key cap does not include, and I will ship within 1-3 days depending on the time and date of your message. I am located in the United States.

[Made to Order]
I also sell products that are made to order. You can specify the colors and patterns you want on them and they will be produced.

Singular SA Profile Key - $15
4-Key WASD Cluster - $20
10-Key Number Row - $30-$40
17-Key Number Pad - $30-$40

[Custom Requests]
You can custom request almost anything. Just PM me or post on this thread and ask if it is possible.

It would cost a bit to get the materials, but if you want this let me know and we can work on it. I could use a pattern like this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Navy-Grey-Digital-Camo-Water-Transfer-Printing-Hydrographic-Film-1MWide-/110811598747?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19cce2cf9b

And maybe I could make more keys than just the space bar since the price of the film may cost a bit more than normal.

Really interesting design.

Will be extremely interested if these can come in topre switches (fn keys etc)!

That's great. I'd personally prefer it without the navy (that same store has one that's black/dk grey/lt grey) but it's not a big deal. You want me to send you a spacebar? Think about it and a price and pm me.

First off I would like to say these keycaps look awesome. Can't wait to see what else you come up with.

I have a couple questions:

1 - What profile are the keycaps?
2 - Will you be doing any Topre or BS in the future?

The key caps are number row SA profile.

I have had one other person ask for Topre caps. I would have to order blank Topre caps to make them. If a few more people want them, I could order some caps and make them.

If you, or anyone requesting Topre or BS, would like to mail me some key caps, I will paint them and mail them back at a discounted price, since I do not have to purchase the key caps.

They're pretty cheap. And you can get custom made keys for the same price basically. PM me if you want certain colors. There's always time!

Also, shipping out the first orders right now. Thanks to everyone who ordered, but there's still some left. I'll be making more soon. Anyone have any specific kinds of colors they'd want?

So I was working on a commission for Miami keys, and the pink came out a little too dark. But even though they don't really match Miami, I feel like they still look pretty good. If anyone wants to buy one or a few, PM me and we can work something out so these keys don't go to waste!

I'd love to get some Cherry MX DSA profile keys in Green + White. Think you could match the colors here and the swirl pattern from TEAL WATERS?

(http://keyshop.pimpmykeyboard.com/images/Products/DSA-Modifier-Green-8.jpg)

If you don't have DSA keys I could probably send you some once I get a price estimate.

Post by: connorelsea on Thu, 27 November 2014, 22:53:50

I sure could. If you would send me key caps the price would be much lower. But the price per key depends on the amount, since I'd have to buy paint specifically for your order. (Don't worry, it's inexpensive paint, a few dollars at most). So for example, maybe something like $8 per key for 1-4, $6 per key if over 4 and below 10, and maybe lower if beyond 10. The price is negotiable. PM me if you're up for it and would like to discuss the lowering of prices or more specific details. I'm always willing to move around the price on custom orders!

nice service man!
im rocking DSA keycaps, so id love to have custom ones in matching profiles as well.
my question is this, youve said you accept customers sending in keycaps, and the smallest "kit" i found is about 20 keys, if you can individually order keys let me know.

but yeah practically, is there a way for you to acquire exactly 8 DSA keycaps or should i look on my own? i want to replace arrow and WASD...
also, where do you reside? if youre in america id rather ship the kit to you directly (im in turkey) and have you send me the extras+finished work. :)

let me know soon man!
