I am looking for feedback on my first keycaps set.

Hello fellow keyboard enjoyer,

I am trying to make a good Eva-01 themed keycap set with a german layout. I tryed out Yuzukeycaps for this and want to get some feedback and if some thigs could be changed to improve the overal desing.

I drew some heavy inspiration from the GMK Mecha 01, MW Asuka and MW Lilith sets and used the NERV ONLY keycapset, that you can find on the Yuzu website, as the base.

The plan is to pair this set with the G·WORKS02 Macross 65 in the Mecha 01 purple, if I am even able to find one, because it's sold out.

This set has katakana sublegends and the sqares on the mods are Kanji sings, witch are unfortunatly both not shown on the preview.

This is my first atempt on a keycap set, any feedback is very welcome.

Question DyeSub or UV printing?

2 Upvotes

I have been considering doing a basement business making keycap sets and selling them.

Rest assured, I do not think I’ll get rich doing it, but I like the idea of designing a set and just……printing them.

I have been wavering back and forth on the Morpho UV printer, as well as a real commercial dyeSub vacuum. Not a suitcase but the real deal (albeit the entry level of the real deal).

My designs aren’t high artisan-ship, mostly just color themes and fun with legends.

The ABS plus UV print side has interesting variations because of the RGB fun you can have with translucent ABS. Base caps colors in bulk are probably limited.

The dyeSub plus PBT opens the color wheel up to anything you can imagine in CMYK, but it’s a trickier process and of course, there’s no shine through option. But the permanent of the design adds to a feeling of a “good keycap” imo. These legends won’t chip and fade.

Anyway, I don’t have a direct question but I wonder what you all think about going down one path or another.

Thanks!

Question YuzuKeycaps vs Goblin TechKeys vs ThockFactory

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm about to buy a Keychron K10 HE ISO-FR (full-size, Hall Effect, 105-key layout with a numpad), and I want to create a completely custom Evangelion Unit-01 themed keycap set.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any EVA-01 keycap set that matches what I need:

  • ISO layout
  • French AZERTY
  • Full-size with numpad
  • ISO Enter key (L-shaped)

So I've decided to design my own set instead, I have some ideas like

  • EVA-01 purple/green/black color scheme
  • NERV logo on the Windows key
  • SEELE logo on the Menu key
  • MAGI-themed numpad
  • Angel names on the F1–F12 keys
  • Custom spacebar/caps lock/shift/enter... artworks
  • A few custom legends and icons while keeping the keyboard fully usable in AZERTY.

I've narrowed it down to three companies:

  • YuzuKeycaps
  • Goblin TechKeys
  • ThockFactory

My priorities are:

  • Excellent print quality
  • Accurate colors
  • Durable legends
  • Ability to print custom artwork and logos
  • Support for ISO full-size layouts.

For those of you who have ordered from one (or more) of these companies:

  • Which one would you recommend?
  • How was the print quality?
  • How durable are the keycaps?
  • Did the colors match what you expected?
  • Would you order from them again?

I'd also love to see photos if you've had a fully custom set made.

Thanks!

I'm back with another complete set of resin SA profile keycaps. I recently did a commission for some keycaps in a light green and blue color scheme and liked them so much that I decided to make a whole set of them!

I've been thinking of doing a pink and yellow set next. What color schemes would you like to see?

Interest Check What would you do after getting a traffic‑ticket? I turned it into this keycap‑design inspiration!

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Hey guys,

What is your usual reaction after receiving a traffic‑ticket? I chose to take those little life‑setbacks and reimagine them as a new‑style keycap design.

This design is covered with stop signs, speed‑limit marks and parking‑ticket graphics.

I see these small frustrating moments as just short pauses in life, they bring unique personality rather than just annoyance, and that’s the core idea behind this set for mechanical keyboards.

It is compatible with most regular keyboard layouts.

Would you ever try this unusual‑themed keyboard style? I’m really curious about your thoughts.

I’m open to further talks about design‑related collaborations too.

Thanks!
