We have created this set of stepped keys to adjust the layout of the bottom-right corner of the keyboard without the need to tamper with the mount plate and the PCB. The stepped keys form the usual inverted-T cursor cluster with page up and page down keys on the sides.
Excellent point! Since I cannot make the procedure cheaper because this is just too much work that cannot be automated, I would like to offer something that big manufacturers cannot. Hopefully, more unique stuff coming in 2022!
Awesome and super thoughtful! Btw, what is that song in the background? I know I've heard it before but can't remember what it is (or where it's from).
It is Miserlou (or Μισιρλού in the original) performed by the Strolling Strings of the United States Air Force Band. You probably know the Dick Dale's version from Pulp Fiction.
First, they model a mold for a block. This block is not molded with lego's first, so that it can be later attached to a lego plate. Then, they CNC the shape of the key into said block. Then, into another block, the underside of the keycap is molded, made as it will be in the final keycap (stem facing out) In the next shot, where the purple resin is casted, the left side has those wood pins, so that when pouring the plastic for the final keycap there is a hole for the plastic to be poured. Then, the plastic is poured and the keycap is made.

This popped up in my recommended and I was not disappointed! Really cool!
Awesome video as always. It's great to know you're expanding the keycap options. The other side of the coin of luxury is customization!

@@keymacs You clearly are already doing that! I look forward to seeing what you've got cooking.
Cool home made keyboard caps
Hey! Beautiful video. Just curious, what material do you use to fill the molds and make the caps?
Smooth Cast 310 polyurethane, UVO UV-stable pigments, and Sun-Devil for UV stabilisation. All by Smooth-On.
@@keymacs For molds - something like Mold Star series?
@@Joyousmicor I use Smooth-Sil 945.
Awesome and super thoughtful!

Would it make sense to make the 'single keycap shape' to be centered in the larger base of the keycap?
It is also possible but you would not get the exact inverted-T on the keyboard.

Hi! Amazing video, but I'm lost in the process. ¿Could you explain why do yo do every step? Could be a good way to make your videos more attractive.

How do you get the resin matt? Is that a specific type of resin? Or an addition?
Each keycap base is bead-blasted. This texture is preserved on the silicone moulds and that makes the result look matte.
what is the machine you are using?

No surprise if this costs hefty amount of money.
