Post your Metal Caps
« on: Tue, 28 January 2014, 09:34:12 »
I searched and didn't see this topic mentioned, which is a little surprising. 

I see so many many wonderful keycaps in a variety of metals, everything from aluminum, nickel, silver plated, gold plated, titanium, and much else.

Post them please. They can be quite beautiful.

That would be photekq, but I don't know if he's going to do another run.  :)  And I agree, it is definitely one of my favourite caps.

In the meantime, enjoy the entire album...  :P

Fingerprints are a *****.



Edit: Speaking of fingerprints, that would probably look neat embossed. Sort of like a large thumbprint on the top.

Both aluminum. Feel soft and responsive because they're thin. They don't carry the usual weight penalty of most metal keys.

I like the batman one.  Now if I could find that Horde emblem WoW cap that would be amazing.

It's going to go on a HHKB When I get it so that should give you some idea on the layout and the keyset. And if we end up being able to transplant the switches from the Novatouch I'll probably do that. Not sure what set I want yet though :o.
