After showing a project I’ve been working on (one of many that exists in my brain), some folks showed interest in buying it and others.
Keycaps would be available in either plastic (transparent or opaque) or metal, or both, depending on the design. All keys with colored details will be hand-painted by me and sealed. I currently have Cherry MX and Topre 3-D models for mounts - I would be willing to make others if there is demand and I can get my hands on a keycap to model after (and someone to guinea pig that it fits and stays put).
Keycaps would be available in either limited runs, or by request (except for limited run keycaps, to be fair to buyers). Popular special requests can be turned into limited runs, instead of special requests (save on production costs and shipping).
This is my first keycap. It is UV-cured Acrylic Polymer, painted with glass stain & glitter, acrylic paint on the eyes, and sealed with automotive-quality clear coat.

Plastic keycaps would be ~$25-$30, depending on level of detail. Metal keycaps will range from $40 (matte steel) to $150 (solid sterling silver), depending on the metals appropriate for the design. Custom requests would vary, but usually will be slightly higher cost.
If the price for a particular run of keycap is slightly higher than normal, I will disclose the reason.
If you’re interested in me selling these as I describe please reply!
What is your preferred mount(s)?
Would you be interested in novelty keycaps other than R4 1x1?
What is your preferred profile for novelty keycaps?
Are you interested in themed sets, (ie: Mario set would be mystery block, two brick blocks, Starman and a Mario)?
Are you interested in limited run keycaps or custom requests, or both?
