Should we do more of these?
« on: Tue, 06 October 2015, 22:24:13 »
Happened across this design in the quest of working on something else, but with the requests for simple keys, should we clean this idea up and do some of these? I'm thinking making the color strip around the edge on the top of the key a bit thicker, and these colors are horrible, but if done with better colors??? (Or has this been done already and is old news?)

Reminds me of Qwerkeys caps:



Nice, but not particularly special, IMHO.

Buying more keycaps,
it really hacks my wallet,
but I must have them.

I think people can always use well made blanks. If you can refine your colors and process, there would be people interested.

That black field is just begging to have some sort of emblem on it.

Or maybe just an eyeball.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Cool, thank you all!  After we get our first sale under our belts here very soon,we will refine these guys then. I also want to inlay some glass pictures (a special technique of glass that we do), into the tops of of some keys, so I could probably do a glass eyeball into the top of these pretty handily, if we can get the inlay to work the way I'm thinking...

That frankly sounds really cool. Might i suggest making it look like an old school TV or computer monitor? People would be clamoring for those IMO
