Rubik's Cube
« on: Mon, 17 September 2012, 18:06:17 »
Here is my idea for a Rubik's cube dye-sub. I was throwing together some idea, and 2 of my friends said they really liked it and would buy one them self. What do you guys think? I would definitely consider doing a deal like I did with the creepers, or maybe just a proper group buy ; P


The white is just the sides of the keycap that can't be dye-subbed . The whole surface of it would be dyed (if that's even possible)

Would look really neat if executed correctly.

Where is nanotechnology when you want it - this would be so cool if it was a real cube that could solve itself inside the key cap :)

Well there were the spongebob caps imsto showed us, but it sounded like to do group buys of that style was still aways off. Sounds difficult/full of mistakes in making them.
BTW what happened to the dragon balls idea?

I thought that thread got removed o:

I posted it in group buy as an interest check, and I couldn't find it when I checked later to see if it got approved.

Ohhhh damn, Im an idiot. Dx
I didnt notice it got moved to making stuff together. It looks like a lot of people are interested though, so I might do that.

Yeah, so it looked like a miniature (and slightly distorted) Cube sitting on the keyboard.  That would be cool!
