Do you guys have links that I could buy it from? Even gold plated would work.

In 3 steps you can solve this issue you're having.

Step #1) find a jeweler
Step #2) commission that jeweler to make you a gold esc blank
Step #3) pay teh jeweler for their work

Binge, are you drunk again?

Anyway, I found these on Feng's eBay store, which is very reputable, if a little slow sometimes.

I'm sorry if these aren't exactly what you want, but they're the closest I can find right now.

kinda OT

but have jewelers been good at making keycaps?

i know that for pc powdercoating, it's really important to get someone who has done pc powdercoating before.  there are a ton of little details that an inexperienced modder would miss.

The person who made my non-traditional wedding rings from pictures I drew was a 30 year goldsmith.  The stuff he can do in miniature size would astonish you.

Thanks guys for the reply! Feng has some but it's printed with esc but he went OOS, seems like a blank key has to be a custom order.
