Hello Geek Hack!
I’ve been working away on ideas for
new key cap designs and I’ve come back with this. I’m unsure
if anyone’s done any of these designs before but even if
they have I doubt there is a full set.
Please do give
me feedback if there’s any other designs you’d like to see
added/taken away from this set.
Dave.

Update /#1:
30/9/12
It’s looking like i3oilermaker may be willing
to help with this GB as he has far more knowledge than I do
and he’ll be a great asset in this. So thank you to him for
that!
As far as the actual colours of the keys etc,
yellow seems to be the go-to colour for this. Someone
suggested white keys with the icons inside triangles as if
they’re on signs.
I was thinking about this and the
issue I had was that the icons would need to be far smaller
to fit in the triangle which would mean they would probably
be harder to print especially in the case of the explosives
icon.
However if the community is adamant about doing
this then I have no issue with it.
I’ve also decided
that there will be no more than 10 keys in this set
otherwise it will likely become expensive but also because
if we’ve got a maximum of 10 then these keys can be used on
the number row form 1-0. If you’ve got an idea for a 10th
key do suggest it otherwise I’ll be sticking with 9.
Dave.
Update /#2:
30/9/12
Okay final design is up, there are now total 12
key caps in this set as requested by a couple of people.
This is so they can be used as either number keys or
function keys. I’ve avoided the gas mask idea as I don’t
think it fits this set but I’d be happy to design one for a
different GB if requested.
The extra 3 added are:
corrosive materials, magnetic hazard and laser hazards.
This
will probably add to the cost of the set but hopefully not
by a lot.
This will probably the final design unless
anyone has any big issues with the newer caps.
Dave.
Update /#3:

Hey again,
I’ve had a few questions about
the pricing of these caps and after talking to i3oilermaker
wee’re currently looking at around $2 per cap which totals
$24 for the set.
I found this to be quite a reasonable
price and it was cheaper than i imagined. If you’d like to
withdraw your interested due to price please let me know.
Dave.
Update /#4:
1/10/12
Okay folks,
I’ve been talking to
i3oilermaker and we’ve agreed that there has been enough
interest expressed in this set to warrant production.
i3oilermaker
has talked to qtan about having them made and he should be
getting some prototypes made in the nest 1-2 weeks.
After
that i3oilermaker will be selling the sets directly from
techkeys.us
as this will ease the strain on money collection and
distribution.
Please do sign up to the notification
service at techkeys to be notified of when they will be
available.
I’d like to thank you all for support my
ideas and I’d also like to thank i3oilermaker for taking all
of this on board.
if you’ve got any question regarding
the set or anything else please do PM me.
Dave.
