Hello everyone

Exciting times lie ahead for us at QWERkeys, so I thought I would give you a sneak peak of something to expect from us in the new year: new T and Z series key caps! Below are the first samples I've got through, please let me know what you think!

Primarily these will be aimed at gamers and come in gamer packs, but some will be available as single blanks, novelty key caps and function packs. Only available as 1x1 for now.

T Series

These were originally designed for public machines (to stop people stealing the key caps, but they have a large surface and small gaps between them making them ideal for some gamers

Z Series

Something slightly different, but equally as useful are the Z series. The unique shape makes them very easy to find and look pretty awesome also!

High hat caps? Interesting…

They look very gloss. Are they metal?

They are ABS I think, although I'll have to double check that for you. Should be available in any colour and potentially in a 2x1 size also.

I'd be interested in a set of those round ones, depending on price/color options. Any more pictures/details you can post would be nice, like thickness, available font(s), profile, etc.

I don't think GMK can do PBT, let alone metal

Should have them in the mainstream colours; black, white, red, but as usual we can get a variety of colours. Font wise, that's open for discussion and price, again, still in the works! Just a quick preview of whats to come.

Funky baby!

A keyboard made of dance floor? Intriguing…

I would like try Z series... shame seem to be available in 1x1 and 1x2 only. Then again, that could be amazing for a custom 40% or something like this.

I'd like to see a square version of Z series.

Apple did that (19.05 mm pitch, with 7.5 mm gaps between strike surfaces, so the strike surfaces were 11.55 mm x 11.55 mm) on the //c, IIGS, and IIc Plus, and it works nicely, I think.

Maybe…

Yup. Imagine making our own customs in that style!

I'd buy that. Custom PCB, anyone?

If someone can design the PCB, I'd build the keyboard!

looks like bubblewrap...kinda ..
