So I made two new SuperCTRLr colorways today.
The first is a green and black should be a great fit with keycaps like Terminal or Toxic.
The second is a teal and purple which will fit right in on a Hyperfuse board; I'm sure Skeletor would appreciate even more teal
I'll try to get some classic RGBY and Purple SuperCTRLrs going this week.

The 8-bit sale Starts Today!More Details
HereMain screen, turn on!So after a few months of prototypes and several simpler designs, I present to you the
SuperCTRLr!I think it goes without saying this was inspired by the Super Nintendo / Super Famicom. It is a 2.25u Cherry MX keycap suitable for the enter or left shift on most keyboards.
Compatibility
This keycap only works with Cherry MX switches and clones. I've only tested it with Cherry stabilizers, but I think Costar should be fine. Topre, even with MX sliders, is a no-go because of the rectangular shape for the main stem.
Here is a short video of it
in actionAs you can see, the clear base and translucent white allow backlighting to show through.
Watch the
disco lights!Construction
This was a challenging keycap and I am really pushing the limit of what I can work with from my laser. It is assembled from 15 individual pieces bonded together with acrylic cement.
All lettering is laser etched and hand painted.
Price and Availability
The SuperCTRLr is $18 plus shipping. Shipping is $4 to the US, $15 international.
Sold Out!Colors | Qty |
Two-tone Purple | 0 |

Just for Geekhack, I'm offering my Super Star at a discount for this launch. You can snag one for $7 with a SuperCTRLr (normally $9). That would be this guy:
Giveaway!Update: Congrats to
ihatemybrain for correctly identifying the 9 key in the 8 position on frame 10
So I uploaded
this stop-motion video using some other keycaps last week, but I messed up one of the frames. The first person to correctly identify which frame and what the mistake was, I'll send a free Super Star cap.
Orders live for round 3 SuperCTRLr and the all-new CTRLr keycaps!Check it out on
https://laserctrl.ioThis time around I will be assembling the keycaps as the orders come in; everything is cut and ready to go. This gives me the freedom to adjust assembly based on which styles are popular. It should only add 1-2 days to the processing time, depending on demand of course. If it starts to look like I'm getting more orders than I can realistically handle, I'll mark the keycaps as out-of-stock.
All orders made before 2017-08-05 11:59 GMT will be added to the giveaway drawing, details to be announced.
