Similar to this topic, but why are there so few artisan caps in sizes other than 1u? I love stuff like the Spacebears that (I think?) Binge did as well as some of the cool blanks like HKP did, but they are really hard to come by.
Three reasons:
-Resin is expensive
-It takes extra work and planning to make lower profile keys (rather than just sculpting up and making it taller) and most keys 1.5u+ tend to be lower on the board than 1u escape keys
-1.5u+ are mods, and boards vary more in their mods than in their alphas. Even an Ergodox or Planck can use the alphas from any keyset. All of the variation is in the mods. If you're making a key, the less formats that it applies to, the less people that can use it, and the less attractive it becomes to create.
It's not the resin is expensive. It's that there are so many profiles.
If I make it for A someone will want it for B.
I make them on my own and it almost a can of worms I don't want to open.
I'm happy to try and make some but I am not capable to do it all on my own. Plus artisans are meant to be art. Blanks are blanks.
So I will have some made in the next two weeks but I might have just wasted a bunch of money trying.
For compatibility you are looking at around 7 different caps (assuming you would want to do something similar to a GMK mod pack) to include most layout for shift, control, alt, and win.
Shift: Standard left, standard right, iso left, shorty right
Bottom row (CTRL, ALT, WIN, Fn, Option, etc): 1.5, 1.25, 1u
