Rigid keycaps are tactile enough?
Materialwise I found out there are some semi rigid polyurethane foams that are actually dense enough to support some wear (I haven’t looked coloring). As polyurethanes got a “green stage” where it hasn’t polymerized fully, they could chemically bond to a different density version, such as a totally rigid resin, a flexible one or a combination of both. Inlays or macro retentions based on friction are always a alternative too, but this is the real deal of adhesions, no tricks necessary.
One could do the stem in a rigid poly, and a slightly foamy upper part, that gives a little push. I wondered, if there is actual interest to experiment creatively in those regards and offer a foamy keycap on top with a rigid stem.
A high shore hardness silicone could be used also, but I don’t know if it’s rigid enough to fit the stem and be usable.
Creatively: A boob or nipple on a keycap is what I believe the best subject for the job, but maybe there are another, better ideas that use this capacity fully.
If there is enough interest, I’ll test something and post in in the future.
