Hello everyone,
First off this is my first foray in to
keycap design so lots of feedback is welcome.
Here’s
the cap
http://imgur.com/a/MZaYZ
Some info on the cap:
Material: Brass C260
Construction:
CNC milled from a solid piece of brass.
Finish: Light
Bead Blasting
Stem: MX
Weight: ~12g
The
weight may be a little concerning. I would say MX Reds and
Gateron Clears are definitely out and there could be slow
return on some other switches. If this is a deal breaker I
could re-assess the design and see where material could be
removed.
As for the design itself, I’ve felt there have
been a lot of “Apple-y” looking stuff (not just keyboards)
with aluminum and rounded edges everywhere so I thought
having virtually no visible rounded edges could be
interesting and I’ve always like the look of brass and the
fact that over time it would tarnish and take on a life of
its own in a way.
I’ve contacted a few manufacturers
and starting to get quotes. As this would be my first cap
and buy I really want to make sure I have all my ducks in a
row (and that there is interest) before moving forward. For
this first go around I would limit the buy to 100 caps.
Let
me know what you think!
