Hello Geekhack! I’m Daniel, I design and develop
products for MouseMods. I’m super excited to share
our first keycap set with you. We call it M2K HYBRID, M2K
being short for MouseMods Double-Shot
Keycaps. M2K
HYBRID is a 24 variant keycap collection that aims to give
you more freedom when
choosing your style without breaking the bank. The idea for
this project came with a few goals in
mind, namely:
**1.**We
wanted M2K HYBRID to offer versatility with as many
keyboards and desk setups as possible,
whilst complimenting a variety of colourways with simplistic
beauty.
**2.**M2K HYBRID had to be fairly priced with
product quality and quality control we can stand behind.
**3.**As
M2K HYBRID is designed to fit in with almost any desk setup
we needed many variants (24, to
be precise) and we wanted all variants to be in stock
regularly.
**4.**Of course, fitting into your color
theme is not enough. The keycaps have to fit onto your
keyboard
too! So whether you’re ISO or ANSI, Tsangan or standard
bottom row, we’ve got you covered!
**5.**In addition to
your current keyboard and desk setup, we want M2K HYBRID to
work with your next
setup and the setup after that. As such, we are leaving the
door open to new themes which will drop
right in and
work with what we currently offer. By this, we mean new
matching mousepads, keycap
novelties, keycap alphas, additional keycap compatibility
kits and so on.
After all our hard work in meeting
these goals, we can finally say that we’re ready to share
M2K
HYBRID with you guys! We couldn’t be happier to share this
and we hope you love it too.

LET’S TALK THEMES
I’d like to
address what many of you may have already noticed: the lack
of a clear theme or novelties on
our M2K HYBRID keycap set. With the exception of our
mousepads and wallpapers, we have tried to make
the M2K
HYBRID collection very neutral. During product development
we decided against a heavily themed
keycap set as we wanted our set to compliment as many
keyboards and desk setups as possible whilst
achieving
a fair price. If we were to make a heavily themed keycap set
we would need to manufacture a
number of custom, inordinately expensive molds which would
really be just for this one set. Compounding
this issue
is that we wanted the feel, sound and durability of PBT
keycaps which require much more
expensive molds than ABS keycaps. To reach a fair price, we
decided to use a newly produced but pre-
existing mold
which we can use for M2K HYBRID and more keycap sets in
future.
We are all acquainted with the keycap sets
revolving around a theme accented with unique novelties.
With the development of M2K HYBRID we wanted to explore a
different approach, we decided the
keycaps should have
many color variations which would create a foundation for an
evolving theme
involving not just keycaps but also mousepads, cables,
wallpapers and posters all designed, sold
directly
through MouseMods. That being said, by no means do we
exclude novelties! We would love to
offer drop in novelties which fit the theme of our mouse
pads and M2K HYBRID in the future but for now,
it’s not
the right time for us.
MOUSEPADS
By now our community knows us for our Sakura
mousepad collection; as we move into manufacturing our
first keycap set we are also releasing a new mousepad
collection to match! We had a lot of ideas on what
theme
our newest mousepad collection should incorporate. After too
many late nights and a few hundred
design iterations, we decided that we should incorporate the
concept of exploring new horizons with endless
possibilities.
We thought, “where better to explore than space?” With that
thought in mind, we are happy
to unveil our Astro mousepad collection!

WALLPAPERS
In a constant effort to one-up ourselves, we asked
“what else can we do to take your setup to the next
the next level?” Well, stunning animated wallpapers, of
course! We have partnered with
Bis Biswas
and
Drioyard
to make a set of themed wallpapers for your desktops,
laptops and phones. We’re so excited
to see your setups come to life with these!
