Note that this award is for a single keycap, not who is the best artisan

No it isn't. Did you vote with this in mind? Yikes.

Shouls have been clearer, this part: "The caps that do show technical skill often don't ever see the market", what is this supposed to mean, what is good doesn't hit the market, how you can tell.
Also, we are getting their garbage and they keep/private-sell good things based on this logic.

I ...

Jellykey has a professional resin casting/moulding operation.
Also called 3D printer :lol:
Joke asides, not sure what you mean here:

This isn't something they're open about, instead choosing to plaster "handmade" over everything. As handmade as art made in a factory can be, I suppose. The caps ...

Without quoting everything
What you mean exactly, what should i explain, why i nominated and voted KF or why JK winning is a joke?

Umm just to let it be clear, you guys voted for a shady company that was nominated as a JOKE!

This entire thing is akin to a Budweiser product winning "Best ...

This entire thing is akin to a Budweiser product winning "Best Craft Beer".

They seem to accept any and all nominations, so sure! This has my vote.

I actually checked the vote on someone's request, and there were no irregularities. People liked the designs.

Can you check the joke nominations too? Kill the issue at the stem. This is akin to Deez nuts winning presidency. http://img.wennermedia.com/480-width/rs-206662-Screen-Shot-2015-08-19-at ...

Not sure what this has to do with which artist wins? Where's the strawman emoji when you need one?

no he is lamenting it .

The so called "real artisans "are the establishment( clinton) and the jelly are the outsider (trump)

In both cases millennials are autistic screeching


Only in this case, the establishment are the real people, and the outsider is a factory in it for cash as opposed to ...

Congrats! Well deserved!

A vitriolic reaction to the poorly ran awards, imagine that.



So what you wanted to win so you cry and moan ?

I am guessing you also went to the Trump Inauguration.

Heaven forbid anyone criticizes the process.

Strangely fitting that the joke nomination won the joke awards, I ...

It was a joke nomination, if you hadn't noticed.

My favourite part of this award is the reaction.

There's a reason you can put a name, a face and a personality to every nominee but one. I can't befriend a factory.

They do group buys manufacture to meet demand, so there's none of this exclusivity bullshit

Almost like they're a company making them in a factory. Seems odd to not vote for true community members, but that's just me.

Well that's a joke.

Can we count all these meetups as projects? The organizers have been going above and beyond for them!

Shout out to /u/b-randen on Reddit for the bumpin' Seattle meetup last July!

Also, I'd like to nominate Maos Keys/Maos Store on AliExpress for actually selling artisan keycaps at a more reasonable price-point (~$5-7 shipped) :

Alright, so we're nominating the creators and not the caps, gotcha.

My nomination goes towards GAF.

You seriously misunderstood something.
The maker is whoever designed/produced it.


I think the misunderstanding is the category in and of its itself.

Say you'd like Marcus/Eat_the_food to win: For this to happen, everyone voting/nominating Eat_the_food would have to agree on a single cap to ...

This category is a mess.

If I'm nominating an Artisan, am I nominating the maker? A singular cap?

I'd really like to be able to nominate the artist.

Post your artisan keycap nominees here:
https://deskthority.net/call-for-nominees-f107/best-keycaps-t17731.html
"Please suggest nominees for the best keycap set, novelty keycap or artisan keycap in 2017"

This seems to pit fairly unrelated categories against each other. Akin to have a "Best Input ...

No "Artisan Keycap" category is totally bummertown.

Hey, sure. Why not! Count me in as well, PM inbound.

I'm going to go a different direction and nominate a newcomer. Fosen Aquamarine!

Fixes the shrill click of the MX/Gateron Blue and looks funky doing it.

My vote is for the MiniVan as well! The tiny keyboard made a pretty big splash this year.

Well this is a kick in the nuts. I've got plates and a PCB, with nothing to do with either.

I know someone asked earlier in the thread, but I'll ask here, for myself

Any chance of getting the CAD files for an attempt at an acrylic centre piece? Because that would be awesome!
