Artisan or custom Alps key caps makers out there?
« on: Sat, 03 December 2016, 02:27:16 »
Are there key cap makers or Artisan cap makers who have already mastered the skill of producing precision caps for Alps switches? And perhaps even have produced some?

I might have missed their existence.

There have been a few, supposedly there isn't much demand.  Nubbinator made the Dolly v2s below for the Alpine Winter GB and I want to say Impending Doom did some blanks.  Pretty sure there were elephants for another keyset GB too...

GloyZ keycaps have made some and take custom orders if you want something in their style!

Ugh, I know. They're just sitting in a bag rotting too. I should have brought them to Utah so I could actually ship them out cheap. Meant to sell them to buy a better pressure pot.
