Work-in-progress, but I figured I’d better ask the gurus before spending more time on it…
Goals:

  • Backlit / shine-through doubleshot construction

  • Consistent lighting across all caps; accents can be aligned with switch LED location

  • aggressively-priced (read: cheap)

  • highly-flexible, wide compatibility

  • Easily customizable through color choice.
    The above goals might be achieved with these limitations:

  • Extremely minimal legends/accents; just one step up from blank caps :)

  • Uniform, legendless keys allow for mix-and-match customizability

  • Uniform-height spherical profile; XDA or DSA

  • Spherical profile allows caps to be rotated to align with switch LED locations
    I don’t know if either the XDA guys can manufacture a double-shot XDA cap, or SP can do a double-shot DSA, but that’s what I’m hoping for.
    Low-cost goal is hopefully aided by having very few unique molds required (no alpha or numbers), while allowing maximum compatibility for anyone willing to forgo legends and use a uniform height profile to hopefully hit a high-volume order.
    Am I crazy?
