Hello everybody!
Interested in comething new and fresh? Want something unorthodox? Then these keycaps might be just the thing for you!
I'd like to introduce and check your interest in a new keycap set I've been working on for a while:
I was inspired by the books by Lewis Carroll, and have tried to capture their feel and love for weirdness, symmetry and mathematics. As you might have noticed, the legends use a completely custom font I created along with novelty keycaps.
Key features:
- Unique font and novelties
- Custom PBT colors
- First set with FULL UT47 40% keyboard compatibility
UPDATE 13-02-2020:After months of work and almost 2 years of waiting, I'm happy to announce:
This set in now on pre-order at PMK:

- Tiny blanks, to be used as space bars for alternative layouts. I checked with PMK, and they said they can produce this kit in DCS profile (Row3), as that is better suited as a spacebar in my opinion. Use the comment box when ordering to do that:
- Ergodox mods:
- "Almost straight" novelties (Dropped the F-keys, as it would make the kit way too big):
- NorDeUk:

Comments on the future:
I have some sketches for 3D sculpted "Artisan" keycaps, that I might sculpt in 3D and you might want to print. Or maybe an Artisan would like to cooperate with me on this, and we could create something together. I'm open for suggestions! Also am planning a future rerelease in a sculpted profile, possibly in additional colors. Oh, and I am thinking about releasing fitting desk / mouse mats, already made a picture of Alice playing Cricket, fot that. Stay tuned.
Anticipating some FAQ, here are some answers:
Q: "Why DSA?"
A: I like the profile, love pbt and am trying to use PMK's offer to produce dye sublimated sets at the moment.
Q: "What about profile X?"
A: I'd love to run this set in a subsequent round in another profile, like XDA, Sculpted SA, KAT, or some other spherical profile, if there is enough interest.
Q: "Will there be support for keyboard Y?"
A: It would be great to have support for as many keyboards as possible, including ergodox. Suggest your favorites and comment!
Q: "I know it's a long shot, but what about ALPS?"
A: I'd be happy for PMK to produce this in DSA ALPS in a future round:)
