OKAY. I'm going to get organized and make this available. I'm designing my first Limited Run keycap AS WE TYPE.
I've decided keycaps will fall into the following categories, with the following choices:
Customs- Custom Design
- Mount type
- Profile
- Row
- Size
- Material (from available)
- Painting (optional)
- Decoration (optional, depends on what I can get my hands on)
Turn-around time will depend on design time, complexity involving painting and production time based on material chosen. Cost will be quoted based on idea and material desired.
Made-To-Order- From a selection of pre-designed keycaps of pre-determined sizes/rows in a common profile
- Mounts for MTO's will start out as Cherry MX and/or Topre, if another mount is requested, it will be added to the availability
after it has been modeled
- Material (from available)
- Painting (optional)
Turn-around time will depend on complexity of painting and production time of chosen material. Cost will be listed for each material. Requesting a new mount will not increase the cost, but it will increase the turn-around time.
Limited RunsLimited runs will be hinted at, pre-made, announced and sold on a first-come, first-serve basis. Depending on my idea for each run, volumes will be fairly small. This could be as few as 5 keycaps or as many as 20. I will let everyone know ahead of time what I am planning. SOME OF MY IDEAS ARE CRAZY.
Everything will be packed and shipped carefully with love and shipping costs will be kept as small as possible.
If you have an idea for a keycap, but do not want to pay a premium price for a custom, one-of-a-kind keycap, send me a message and I'll see if it's something I could turn into an MTO or a LR. I love ideas!!
I'm going to start up a new thread in the Artisan section. Thank you everyone for your responses!
