This is an IC for an aluminium ISO enter keycap.
There
is room for discussion on my Discord Server:

Minor Updates about this interest check will be
posted to the GeekHack thread and the Discord server. Major
updates will be posted on reddit.com/r/MechMarket.
This Interest Check is for an Aluminium ISO Enter Keycap -
this will be CNC machined with an anodised finished. The
keycap is modelled from a GMK ISO Enter.
I have
received a prototype (pictures below). Only issue is the
stem is too loose.
This is my fault as I erred on the
side of caution when designing since aluminium is not as
forgiving as ABS on switch stems.
I have already sent
off for a second prototype with dimensions that should work
for this.
I have also increased the wall thickness to
give the keycap some more heft.
The expected price for these is 40 to 50 USD, if interest is
super high this could definitely be lower!
Available
colours TBD
THIS INTEREST CHECK IS OPEN FOR TWO
WEEKS

Update: Colours
Confirmed Colours:
- Black
- Red
- Blue
- Green
- Gold / Rose Gold - will be made clearer with a prototype.
- Purple
-
Pink
For the second prototype I will be ordering one of each colour to have accurate colour samples come GB time.
Thanks!
UPDATE: Round Two of Prototype
More
11 New prototypes in different colours, 1 is even a
Brass keycap with a mirror polish finish!
The feedback
for this has been very good and I am confident we will hit
the MOQ of 100.
Pricing is looking to be in the region
of
£35 GBP ($40 USD) for Aluminium with anodised
finish
£50 GBP ($60 USD) for Brass with Mirror
Polish
Pricing may change slightly as I am waiting on
samples from two different factories. If the quality turns
out to be far greater than this may raise the price by $5
USD. One of the other factories also offers PVD finishing
which may be nice to explore.
Weight!
Aluminium is
approx 7 grams, feels much more substantial than the
original prototype which was only 4 grams.
Brass is
approx 23 grams
Since I am confident that this will hit
GB, I advise you to fill in the IC form if you are
interested and you will receive an email when the GB goes
live, which I Currently estimate to be late May early
June.
Hope you are all staying safe and well,
Thanks
