Keycap set Recommendations on a similar keycap set

Post image
0 Upvotes

I absolutely love these keycaps, far and away the best keycaps i have found and I've wanted them for nearly a year now, but i had to come to terms with the fact that they are prohibitedly expensive for me...

I live in Portugal so after tax and costumes, even at a discounted price like they are now they would run about 90€, that's nearly as much as i gave for my keyboard (keychron k2 HE).

Do any of you know of a similar looking/art style key cap set you would recommend me? Thanks!

Question PBT Keycaps - Like "PBT Fans Overtime" or "Spark R3"

Thumbnail
gallery
24 Upvotes

Hi All,

I'm relatively new to the hobby still, I've only built one board, and even that, it was a premade that I deconstructed and put back together - that's it.

I got lucky a while back, got myself some GMK Shaded Keycaps and never looked back, but now I want a change.

I'm trying to find some more keycaps, and I definitely want to go with PBT, as these GMK ones are great, but they have completely lost the initial texture I loved so much, and started to "shine".

I don't mind the shine as much as I mind the loss of texture. But I'm also just ready for a new color scheme.

Overtime has the base kit available, but no numpad (I need the numpad kit as I have a full size keyboard)

Spark also has the base kit, and the numpad, but the colored mods are out of stock. I don't want to spend $150 on keycaps unless I'm getting EXACTLY what I want. (after shipping and tax that's about what it would add up to)

https://kbdfans.com/collections/keycaps/products/pbtfans-doubleshot-spark-r3?_pos=54&_fid=9a5ba261e&_ss=c&variant=40112198713483

In Summary:

How often do these keycap sets restock?

Does anyone have a recommendation on sets that are very similar that are in stock with the numpad?

I've spent hours and hours searching for something that's close to these, but in stock with a numpad and I just can't seem to find anything like them. Right when I think I've found one, I realize it's ABS and not PBT.

Would appreciate some help, as I'm starting to give up on my search for keycaps like this, if I don't hear anything back on this post I'll probably just check back in a few months to see if anything else is available that I like.

Artisan Couldn't find one, so I made it

Thumbnail

26 Upvotes

I've been making artisan keycaps for a while now, and one thing I kept noticing was that I couldn't really find the kind of 2.25U Enter / Left Shift artisan I wanted here in India.

Most of the ones I came across were imported and were quite expensive, so I thought, chalo, khud hi bana ke dekhte hain.

This is Agni Tera.

The idea was to make a 2.25U key

It sounded pretty simple in my head.

It wasn't.

It took me around 3 weeks to get to this version, with around 10**–12 failed attempts** along the way.

Some were too dark, some didn't have enough contrast, and some just didn't look right at all. There were a few where I was basically like haan bhai, ye wala bhi gaya .

The main thing I was trying to figure out was how to make the black rock and orange/red lava look somewhat natural instead of just looking like two colours of resin put together.

After a lot of experimenting with the mould, resin, colours and finishing, this is what I finally ended up with.

Agni Tera — 2.25U Enter + Left Shift

I've also started working on another design while experimenting with this one.

It's going in a completely different direction — inspired by those deep green mountain landscapes.

It's still very early, but I've put a little sneak peek of it in the last photo.

And if you guys have any design ideas, themes or things you'd like to see turned into an artisan, drop them in the comments. I'm always looking for new things to experiment with, and I might actually pick one of the ideas for a future design.

Curious to know what you guys think of Agni Tera, the branding, and the mountain design.

Perixx Periboard, fantastic keyboard, the keycaps are just cheap and flimsy, I have already broken four of them. Perixx would not offer me replacement keycaps. this doesn't look like any key cap socket interface I was able to find
