Any experienced glassblowers in here?
« on: Tue, 07 July 2020, 18:39:19 »
I recently started looking around for custom keycaps for my keyboard, totally new to the concept (Hello by the way), and the idea of ones made of glass really stuck with me, I wouldn't want anything hyper special, just maybe either a red tint or completely clear one's, with the letter engraved on the underside, or even as some kind of insert inside the top part of it, hell even laser engraving or whatever create's the best quality of letter and symbol really, preferably at semi-transparent, so the backlight shines through and I wouldn't want many, maybe for the arrow keys and QAWSDERTY, or even only the latter mentioned one's.

Even a reply on whether or not this would be a possible thing would be cool, so I don't go around forever and wonder what the world would look like if I had some beautiful, clear glass keycaps that make me the coolest kid on the block :cool:

A couple of years ago. Gloyz made some interesting pieces.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."
