Even the messed up awesome faces looked better!

The 2nd key caps is ca. 25 years too late.

Korea has a football team?

I want to be able to buy a full set of black on red PBT dye sub keys to replace all keys on my coolermaster cmstorm quickfire rapid (same as filco/costar).
I love the novelty keys do not get me wrong. but we also need a manufacturer that can do group buys for full sets other then SP.

Personaly, I am glad to see your new items, but I do agree with 7bit...the awesome face eyes are just off. I like the peace sign, and the soccer head is cool too. What would a run of caps with a custom face cost? Not saying I want to plaster my mug on my boards....but its an idea, right?^^

One thing you would definitely sell a bunch of immediately is if you make some meme caps...one face you could do is eduard khil, the singer of the trololo song, that will sell like hotcakes. In fact, i will buy several if you ever make em.

Obama cap, Merkel cap, cap of the Queen, etc etc would be nice but copyright issues would most likely kill these.

Oh and make a QWER cap and include it with every purchase, that way people posting their boards will be giving you free advertising.

A run of custom keys with a face on wouldn't cost a lot at all, especially in light and dark beige. You looking at £1 a keycap with no MOQ.
Let me know if you want me to make some up.
I like the Queen, Obama etc _- I might give these a go.Where does this Eduard Khil thing come from ? that is hilarious, never heard it before....

Can you use colored transparent plastic as base and non-transparent plastic as infill material? Could the infill be flush with the surface instead of engraved pit? What I have in mind is similar to a Casino die. Base plastic is transparent red plastic and the markings are infilled and flush with surface.

Here is what I am talking about, material wise.

I drilled a hole on and carved out a Casino die and made a huge key.

I am not saying the caps should be shaped like this. The caps should come out of the same mold, but what I wanted to see is whether the base material and infill technique of the die can be used in your caps. I know double shot method cannot achieve the same look, but I thought QWERkey's infill method maybe able to make similar caps. The transparent base plastic would be appealing to users of keyboards with LED.

Awesome! I would absolutely love to have a few different face caps. What size do you need the image to be? If you do a Queen cap, I would like one as well.

As for Eduard Khil...he was a russian pop singer...the text to his song was censored, so he just vocalised to the music...Mr Trolo, as he is known on the internet, became pretty famous once the video on youtube went viral. A very talented singer...unfortunately he passed away not too long ago. I quite agree with his sentiment: "Where were all of these people 30 years ago?".

Quick questions about the B series.
Are they all the same profile unlike the J series?
If I understand this correctly, it is a keycap as base which top surface is the shot from beneath and on this shot the engraving/infilling take place.
If so, I presume one can choose another colour beside white for the top?
Because I only saw them like this:

Oh, also another question: Do you engrave/infill/print/whatever the front of the keycaps, too?
Like this:

Front engraved?
So can you do plain front engraved? (no fill)

Would be awesome.

Not sure, but I know the top engraved no fill keycaps are fairly popular, might be worth putting up a poll or something?

I think Ascaii's idea of the Eduard Khil cap would be awesome. 100% I'd be in for one. You'd need trollololo or something under his head mind.
