Gradient keyset manufactor?
« on: Fri, 25 September 2015, 20:04:40 »
Hi guys,

Im willing to design a new keyset with a gradient throughout on that. Would be a Red-Brown-Black color transitioning. I have seen sets like Keycook Gradient and willing to know as if any manufactor out there can do it. It would be nice if anyone can give me some advice and sorry for bad English ^^

Nice day guys :D

Vortex does gradients but I doubt they'll do a one-off keyset. Could also see if SP will do it with dye-subbed caps.

This one is a very nice gradient set and it comes out from slightly color transition from the ABS colors ring. But that Spacebar is definitely one mold and the smooth transition is so great.

You could get a white PBT set and try dyeing it yourself. Apparently iDye poly is a good one to use.

Dyeing is a very interesting solution, Im thinking of making custom legend by dying the legends color first and then masking it by laser cut decals and dye the background on it. But will it be easily scratched by keycap puller?
