Lego keycap

[varslot]

Is there by any chance somewhere I can get this?
Or if there is someone I can contact for a custom job?
Is it possible to make this myself, and how?

My mouth is drooling for one of these.

Harvest stem from keycap, glue to bottom of lego... profit.

Du har sikkert noe lego liggende tenker jeg.

Yes. Seems doable. Thanks!

[HPE1000]

That was is my keycap

[StylinGreymon]

That looks really cool.

[HPE1000]

That looks really cool.

It is a pain in the *** to make them though, the green is the only one out of three that I have made that actually works halfway decent. You need to take the stem out of a donor keycap, then remove the innards of the lego and then affix it. Superglue doesn't really work, best way I have found is lighting the end of the stem on fire, let it melt and then shove it on the lego, it should cool almost instantly. Although the tolerances are really tight and you need to make sure the stem is tall enough or else it just hits and scrapes on the top of the switch.

I had considered making and selling them before but it really is difficult to do.

Pretty sure 5 min epoxy would work fine if superglue and the lighter thing aren't working out.

Very true, I might order a bag of legos and try to figure something out if people are interested. I have about 80 garbage keycaps that I can take stems from still.

I made this before I even knew who he who shall not be named was so it has absolutely nothing to do with him. He would like to think so if he ever saw them though, and have me give credit to him.

Wow I love that cap.
I have bins full of unused Legos I may need to put to use.

Acetone should work very well if the stem is harvested from an ABS-cap, will meld the plastics together. Also, when using superglue, remember that it needs a good 24 hours to cure properly even though it's a quick adhesive. I used superglue to mod an offcentered caps lock to centered and it's still going strong.

Aren't there blocks that already have the cross in the middle? So theoretically you can fit one...

No problem. As I said before, I have tried this about 3 times already and it has only really worked once. Every other try has had problems with it.

I believe the key I stole the stem from was from the top row, not sure if the stems are longer depending on the rows.

To avoid hitting the switch I believe that it NEEDS to have the stem coming out of the bottom of the keycap slightly or else it just scrapes along the top of the switch. As you can see in the one picture it stands up on the stem when sitting it on the bottom of it.

Obviously the bottom looks really ghetto between the super glue, hot glue and burn marks  :p

Also, if I remember correctly, the 3 bump wide legos were the same measurement as 1.25 keys (fn, windows key, etc) so that would be possible as well. Wouldn't surprise me if other lego sizes matched up too.

OH, and here was another attempt, stem didn't turn out to be long enough, although it looks a lot cleaner. Drags on the top of the switch just a bit.

It's frustrating, and a word of advice, the actual reason I stopped trying to make them is because heating up the paperclip isn't great to do anywhere but outside. As you heat it up after cutting away at the plastic the initial time and after, you start melting away the plastic on the paper clip, which evaporates(? probably not the best word) and the plastic dust floats up and then shortly settles down, coating whereever you did it in with a fine coating of plastic. It got all over my desk and keyboards lol, quite a bit of cleaning.

I lost my demel and really haven't needed one since, and I cannot think of any other way to cut the donor keycaps except for this method.

If I had legos around I would make one for you, but all the ones I have are from when i was a kid and 99% are scratched or chipped. :/

Good luck, just remember to let the stem stick out a little :)

Also, I don't know how exactly you are going to do it, but try to get it on as straight as possible. I usually attached the stem with it on the switch and pushed it down to try to get it as straight as possible, it worked okay, they all were just a little bit off but acceptable.

[samwisekoi]

Aren't Legos™ PBT?  If so, some PBT-specific adhesive should work.  E6000 for example.

Heck, a 2x4 flat plus a 2x3 regular would make an okay Caps Lock key.

'Asshat' here, sorry you think I stole your whole idea (ironic right?). I honestly had no idea this post even existed until it was linked in my post. I didn't even say the idea was mine, I just mentioned it was homemade.

You have to admit though, it's not a huge leap of imagination to do this mod. Neither of us are the first to do it, and we won't be the last to think of it as our idea. Also our method of doing it almost couldn't be more different. I used small cutting discs and sanding bits to get everything into shape and my keys don't need any glue. I have used glue now though, I used Revell liquid glue for plastics (airfix kit glue) just to ensure strength.

I also didn't make an in-depth guide/discussion about the mod. I decided to do it, took a few pictures and explained what I did in each photo. If you do make more, I would be happy to discuss my method with you  I can't speak for the build quality of yours without using it, but mine are quite rigid and I made them as neat as possible.

Edit: I have made two of them now. I think it works a lot better doing it this way. The copious amounts of glue stop the key from being pressed down as it hits the switch.  With this design you need next to no glue, it's very strong and it's neat because there is no melting/burning of plastic. I have only made two, no mistakes and both sit almost perfectly with each other, as you can see.

Those two look really nice, man

Let me clear it up, I don't care at ALL if anyone makes them. I made it back last year and ever since then I have been encouraging everyone to make them, whoever wants to go for it.

The ONLY thing that bugged me is the fact that this thread was brought up, myself and others went back and forth on the best way of making them, I put my input on how I made them and others pitched in ways they think it could have been improved.

Then 12 days later, someone posts a "guide" and "how to" to reddit pretty much using the exact information we just went over in this thread as if they just so happened to come up with this right after this thread happened. I first posted this keycap online over 5 months ago and showed people who to do it who asked, if I had any plans on making them, I think I would have by now, but I haven't because I don't want to.

So yes ripster, you made lego head keycaps, I am not denying it. But did you make a lego brick keycap first(because I know I didn't, it can be traced back to 2011 and earlier)? I am not sure, but it doesn't even matter in the first place since the only thing that made me upset was the fact that this popped up on reddit shortly after this thread and the person states that they randomly thought of this.

None of this even matters in the first place as I clearly went and helped everyone in this thread about how I made this and didn't care one bit that more than a few people who posted here have already stated that they made them.

This is NOT an original idea, I cannot say that enough, but the guide did bug me.

[Nikor62]

All I can say is I didn't copy you. Bad timing? Sure. You'll just have to take my word for it.

My point is that it WASN'T A GUIDE. I just posted what I did that day. The end product is similar but the work that went into it is completely different. If I had gained inspiration from your post, I would have had no issue crediting you but the fact is that I got my inspiration from another user on reddit (which I openly admitted). I only did a quick search on reddit for "lego keycap", there was nothing like what I did so I posted it.

Now stop making a big deal about this. Whoever thought of it originally doesn't matter and can't be proven.

[HPE1000]

How am I making a big deal? I made one post about how someone had stole this (the thread, information, etc) and used it as their own(or at the very least was inspired). Now if you say it is just coincidence so be it, it doesn't even matter but less than 2 weeks apart? Don't even act like I have no right to wonder.


Tell me where I ever said this was my idea?

[Nikor62]

I made this before I even knew who he who shall not be named was so it has absolutely nothing to do with him. He would like to think so if he ever saw them though, and have me give credit to him.
I might sound like a crazy person if you don't understand who I am talking about, I just don't want to be on reddit pls.

So basically the position I am in now - You unknowingly did the same mod as someone else, and for that reason, do not want to give credit to them.

I didn't say it was your idea. In fact I said "Neither of us are the first to do it". Did you even read my posts?

Look, I'm not looking for a stupid argument. If I had seen this thread before making mine, I would have discussed it here because that's exactly what I wanted to do on reddit.
As I said before I am very happy to talk about my method here, in fact I want to. But if you aren't interested (which defeats the point of this thread) then I will leave, and if you ever think someone else stole your content, just ask if they did rather than talking about an asshat from another website.

So can we talk about the common interest we all have rather than playing he said, she said? Please

That is simply what it is going to be, he said, she said. And on that note, this thread is done.

Ripster made lego head keycaps, that is not what I made. So because he put something lego on a keyboard, anything I do with legos on a keyboard is copying? I don't think so, I made that post as more of a joke than anything in the first place.

It isn't the "same" mod as you keep implying, if I had put lego heads straight to a stem or keycap you would be right, but that just isn't true.

You made the link to ripster long before I came into it, and yes he has made a brick escape key.

So you can't drop all of this and just have a nice discussion?

I liked your creativity in your process, did you  have access to any other tools? I'm not sure if I would have even tried if I didn't have the drill and drill bits. It may not have been as easy or quick but I think it was worth it.

I literally just clipped the key away from around a Signature Plastics key from my crap bag pile of crap until only the stem and for tiny pieces were left and sort of a hexagon shape. I should probably reinforce it with a little more glue but it is on a key right now curing. I'll take pictures of the underside tomorrow.

[danielucf]

I went ahead and filled in with some more glue and once it cures it should be pretty solid.

The glue I used is called "Liquid Fusion" a clear urethane glue. It supposedly dries clear as well.

Were you able to get it to go on straight? All the ones I made ended up turned a little bit whichever way.

I can't tell from your first picture, but it doesn't seem to be perfectly straight. I suppose that is probably hard to get perfect though.

Were you able to get it to go on straight? All the ones I made ended up turned a little bit whichever way.

I can't tell from your first picture, but it doesn't seem to be perfectly straight. I suppose that is probably hard to get perfect though.

It seems pretty straight. I put it on a keyboard with a wrench on top for weight in the position I wanted it to dry in. Then when I added more glue around it, somehow the stem came loose so I need to try again, or use a different glue for the second application, or just wait 24 hours instead of 6 for it to fully cure before reinforcement glue.
