Prism - Vector - Unbranded.caps

(Attachment Link)

First other person I've seen with one of these. I got it in a random trade and know next to nothing about Unbranded but dig it.  :thumb:

Very cool sculpt! Yeah I've never heard of Unbranded caps myself & am fairly into collecting artisans.Wonder if they are still around & casting? Speaking of rather unknown makers I recently got this cool cap in from Poochie Dingo. Don't know much about him & just happened to stumble across this raffle on reddit, decided to take a shot cause I liked the cap. There was a little grumbling about Poochie ripping off Wheat Keys cause they both have a cap that has a similar crown on them as the design. Although Wheat's is a R4 Fn key & Poochie's is a R1 key. Also I believe Wheat said Poochie had his out first. So I think that was more a case of two similar ideals popping up around the same time. Gonna give Poochie the benefit of the doubt for now, then I know Wheat wouldn't purposely rip anyone's designs. He seems like a pretty cool & solid dude from the little bit of interaction I've had with him on Diego's Discord & from winning caps from him.

Sodiecaps Spacejams "Hipermax" (HKS livery) with strands of carbon fiber

Nice grab! I was mad I had to pass on this raffle LOL! Loved the colorway, just didn't have the extra funds for one at the time unfortunately.

Some fun pics I took with a few of my caps that reacted well to UV light (blacklight)!

Cool pics, like that bongo and that brewcaps one that you posted is also interesting (even if it's a bit unsettling, has the same feeling to me as like the elegy of emptiness of majoras mask)

cherry blacks - unlubed - filmed and springswapped with tx 55g mediums - alu Plate | pretty happy with this, the blacks were cherry picked so they weren't that scratchy to begin with, but currently breaking them in, may lube them with a dry lube like ro59 or ptfe powder.

lubed with tribosys 3203 | like topre a lot, prefer it lubed but did make less tactile but that might have been a skill issue. probably will get more tactile over time as the domes age.

bad orange alps lol | definitely needs a restoration. planning on wax boiling them and maybe a replacement pcb because the board has only 2 key rollover apparently.

gateron yellows - lubed with 205g0 - 62g tx mediums - pc plate | probably my favourite keyboard already, feels super nice and sounds pretty good, it's got a great layout as well. probably gonna build this with mx browns, I feel like it would suit the board more.

stock with silent reds | Pretty cool looking board, the silent reds are actually good, they are smooth and I don't mind the mushiness (it's not even that mushy as well). the layout is pretty weird, but is useable. will probably mod this in the future. maybe a pcb and plate swap, change the keycaps to something dolch like, and also spring swap the springs in the silent reds.

Built with new nixies on pc half plate. Love this board already, probably the best looking board I own, those brass accents are so mint. Really like it as is, but I do want to try an alu build (probably with nixies as well) just to experiment with that.

Some recent pickups I got

Wraiths Wrail, Rain Water and Industrial Gray Pain and Eternity by brewcaps. These ones are so detailed, both of these are just so impressive to look at from a sculpting perspective especially. Also brewcaps is such a cool guy, I had only ordered the wraiths wrail but he chucked in the other caps because he forgot my order for a bit, which is super kind and I'm very appricative of.







(my favourite detail. Didn't notice it at first, just so cool)

Also got a violence qube from sludgekidd. This sculpt is also super cool, love the teeth on this especially. Just a really cool sculpted blank.

I mean I guess it is, but it is probably the best descriptor for caps like this. I mean if we are being technical this cap isn't a sculpted blank since the whole cap is slightly smaller than a r1 gmk cap :D

thanks for the words as well.

Its been ages since I have been using my JD45 and other boards, just pulled them out and wondered about a few of the artisans I have. Pic provided- can anyone identify the log, and the sorta clear alien guy?

Identified ones I remember are
1) booper/keykollective challenger (purple in cyan) kosmonavt
2) aero mechashark, v1 peach
3) keyforge saber, wisteria
4) ??? log guy
5) ??? well-done clear alien guy glow eyes

Such cool caps, love the kosmo and mechashark especially.

I don't know number 5, but number 4 seems to be Entling v2 by zorb caps.

Ringing A Successful Alarm Craglus and Greyface Grimacing V1? (not too sure about this one, was a gold bag) by Stupid Fruit Caps.



Super cool caps, love the GID on the grimacing. Now I just need blue alert to ship (even though it pairs well with my dcs beige blanks)
