Custom Keycaps Giveaway (FK)

3 years ago by [FK] to c/ergomechkeyboards

To celebrate the launch of c/emk on Lemmy, we have decided to give away a custom keycaps set to the new community's members!

How to participate?

Create your dream custom keycap set on fkcaps.com/custom (any profile/layout is allowed)
At the very last step called "Summary", click "Save for later" (or buy it, you'll be refunded if you win)
Copy the 6 characters code given, and paste it in a (top level) comment below

🚀 LET'S GO!

Requirements

Be a Lemmy community member
Have an account on FK (you will be prompted for your email when "saving for later")

We are looking forward to see the custom sets you'll come up with! If you have any questions or comments, let us know!

FAQ

How will you pick the winner?

We'll use an online randomizer altogether with obosob (community mod). First code pulled wins!

Can I make any layout or does it have to be ergo?

Any layout is can win this giveaway, but you know where our heart is!

Which keycap profile is allowed?

All keycap profiles are allowed. We currently have DSA, MDA, Cherry and MBK. If you have profile requests, submit a feature request

How many keys can I include in my custom layout?

There is no hard limit, but for the sake of it, let's say 200 keys max 😉

Winner

Congrats to @Djeikup@lemmy.world your set has been drawn and will be sent to you for free! I have also sent coupons to all other participants, I hope you have enjoyed testing the app as much as I did enjoy looking at your sets!

FYI I did the draw and sent a video to OBOSOB (mod of this sub) to show it's been done in good faith!

(I couldn’t find the possibility to rotate 1.5u keycaps by 90 degrees ... and realized I need to rotate the image ... added a feature request)

rotating keys is a big feature request, and we've added the "rotate" legend capabilities very recently to circumvent the issue (temporarily). we'll get there, and thanks for submitting that feature request!

YH4R3P - Thanks for the drawing! Love the idea of being able to customize keycaps to this extent. Finding keycaps is a huge problem for ergo keyboards. Especially with custom layouts and non-qwerty layouts. Great job!

Looks great! I wish there was a little more customization available: I use Colemak DH, and I would prefer icons instead of full "backspace" on a 1u.

Thanks!

You may have missed a few options then, at the "Legends" step. You can:

click on keys to edit its text label (and also add text/icons or even custom SVG by clicking "vector")
drag and drop icons from common icon libraries, from the "Icons" tab on the left panel

To edit your set to make those changes:

Go to your creations using this link, or by clicking the user icon in the top right
Click the set you want to edit
Click the "customize" button

Note that it won't actually "edit" it, but create a new one. So you have to complete the process until "save for later", and update your code in your first comment :)

Unicode chars should also work, if the font supports it. I've tested U+232B (Erase To The Left) with Everson Mono.

fkcaps 2 points 3 years ago

alright! you may want to customize this num row then don't you? also beware that some legends sometimes are too big for the key (Caps Lock / Backspace) so you'd want to fix that too

To edit your set to make those changes:

Go to your creations using this link, or by clicking the user icon in the top right
Click the set you want to edit
Click the “customize” button
Update the code in your comment

KLE link is a feature that's been requested yes it's in the list thanks!

Regarding colors, yes but it's a logistics issue at this point, we basically need to order a lot of keycaps to have enough color options

Too bad there's no keycap support for the Keychron K2's layout... Oh well, sick giveaway and cool site/keycap builder!

Best of luck to anyone entering!

edit: Never used a DSA profile but it does support the K2's layout on DSA. Tossed a code in that I made while playing around with the customizer tool.

oh right, for sculpted profile we don't have yet a wide range of options, and the R4 1.75u key is not available yet

you can however make one on a flat profile, our only option atm is DSA

I've added the Keychron K2 (which I have coincidentally received yesterday to make some tests, and was just testing some keycaps on when I read your message haha)

Cool! Thanks for getting back to me, I didn't expect to hear back, so that's sweet.

Personally, I've never used anything but cherry profile, but I've edited my comment with a DSA profile code. I'll keep an eye out for the expanded support range for cherry profile!
