Idea:Originally, I was thinking of a different take on the ice-like aesthetic of white keycaps, imagining a set like frozen ice cubes. Essentially the idea is that by inverting the colours of a white shine-through keycap, the translucent body would emulate the shiny liquid layer that covers melting ice. Using a "seamless" double-shot method (if at all possible) that completely fills in the sidewalls and top face with opaque plastic, one could get some really cool visual effects.
- Ice (Clear translucent body, white inner/legend colour)
- Ruby (Clear translucent body, dark red/green/blue inner/legend colour)
- Obsidian (Black-tinted translucent body + black legend)
Inspiration:- SP SA 1 Space Relegendable - These keycaps with the translucent outer layer have a "wet" effect on blue MX inner cap.
Challenge:- All doubleshot keycaps I've seen use the most minimal amount of plastic for the legends - the manufacturing method would have to create a complete inner cap and allow a legend to be successful.
