Title: Hello All!

My name is Parker, a friend at work has shown me the ways of Key caps, and he has created a monster. I look forward to talking with all of you about it! I might br tossing around the idea of making some, but I am not certain yet.

Welcome to Geekhack!

The making of keycaps is by no means difficult, as long as you have the right equipment, and a fair bit of patience.  Expect your first few batches to fail - that is perfectly normal.  There are many threads in the making stuff together section that infiniti has directed you to from other members who have tried their hand at keycap making, and many of them have turned out some fantastic results!

Btw have you got a mechanical keyboards yet?

I do, I have two, Razer Blackwidow and Blackwidow Chroma (home and work). I am looking into making or buying a realforce, as well. I have been digging into making them some more. Its becoming more likely.

Not sure how you'd go about making a RealForce - the parts you'd need you could probably only get from another RealForce, which kinda defeats the purpose of buying it in the first place ;)
