Custom keycaps as a gift for a friend?
« on: Fri, 12 February 2016, 17:20:43 »
My friend recently bought his first mechanical keyboard, and I thought it would be a cool idea to buy him some custom keycaps as a gift. 

Has anyone here ever bought keycaps for someone else, or do you think that it's too personal an item that they should buy on their own?  Maybe just a single artisan keycap like Esc would be a better idea?

Artisan is definitely a better idea. What keycaps does that person have?

He bought a G710 with cherry browns.  My first idea was to put his name along one of the rows but it wouldn't fit anywhere  :p
