INTEREST CHECK FORM:
https://forms.gle/FeofDiSYcRs3vwzx5
Hello fellow keeb enthusiasts! Straight from the
realms of my overworked, sleep deprived grad student brain,
I want to finally introduce you to a keycap set I have been
working on all year, called KAMistry. KAMistry aims to bring
elements (pun fully intended) of chemistry (and biology)
into your keeb. The four main colors of the set (teal, light
blue, light grey, and dark grey) were inspired by my
repeated trips to my labs trusty -80 freezer. Because you
cant tell me you havent just looked at a freezer before and
thought to yourself Damn, thats a nice looking freezer.
Complete with a grey face and a bright blue LED screen
graced with a teal bezel, this gargantuan freezing lab
companion was just begging to be used as an inspiration for
pieces of matte PBT plastic.
As the name implies, this
set will be in KAM profile. For those that are not familiar
with the KAM profile, here is a diagram for you compared to
KAT and Cherry. You can compare other profiles to it as well
here:

I have done my best to ensure the colors look
accurate to the Pantones. However, do keep in mind that
color can vary depending on the screen that it is viewed on.
The best way to see what a color will look like as the end
product is to check the pantone code in a physical guide.
Samples will be ordered for comparison to those pantones!

Digital Carpentry wrist rest collab!
KAMistry has teamed up with the amazing Digital Carpentry to
design a professional, wooden, science-themed wrist rest.
Samples are below! I decided to go with the benzene ring
icon for mine, but you will have an option of a couple
icons, including the benzene ring and atom novelty, along
with an option of walnut or maple. Even cooler, you’ll have
options on size of the wrist rest and where you want the
icon! For this sample, I wanted the hexane ring to always be
visible, even when typing (top image).
The following design will be a third option
available. No, it’s not an actual element, but it looks darn
good as one if I do say so myself.
Follow this project!
Forget needing a paid
subscription to a journal. For once in science, you can get
the latest updates for free! Join my NA vendors discord to
follow updates of KAMistry.

While I may not have done something spectacular
enough to receive the Nobel Prize, I do feel as though I
need to thank some people for help with creating this set.
So, like any good scientific paper, I would like to
acknowledge the following for their help and support:
The
entire PDXKBC discord. There are too many of yall there who
helped me, so I cant list all of you unfortunately, but you
have been the driving force behind this set coming to
fruition.
SJ for his case file and for bouncing ideas
off of.
Nathan (of GMK Iceberg fame) for answering my
dumb questions about rendering.
Cadvahn for doing
post-processing edits on the renders for color accuracy.
GentleBear
for making materials for me in blender. He isnt a keyboard
nerd like us (yet) so Im not sure hell ever see this, but
his help was invaluable.
ThiccWicc for helping me with
all aspects of making this set.
And of course
RocketCables for answering my questions and putting up with
me as I slowly figure this process out.
