Making A Keycap

1. Concept Drawing

Every keycap starts with a concept drawing.
After fiddling with ideas, we get a rough concept drawing to transform
into a sculpture, using various software such as Zbrush, Maya, and more.

2. Sculpting

When we have the complete sculpture, we reconstruct the sculpture into
a functional keycap that can sit tightly on a Cherry Mx key switch
and look right on the keyboard.

3. Testing

Testing the keycap is one of the most crucial parts of the process.
We 3D print tests of the keycaps, checking the print's quality, details of
the sculpture, fitness, and much more, to make sure that we can
proceed to the next step with a reliable product.

4. Color Pallete Planing

We create a color palette and coloring method for painting the keycaps to
ensure uniformity across all the keycaps line.
We look for vibrant colors and complementary colors but trying to stay as
close to the original idea we had at the early stages.

5. Coloring

Mabey, the most enjoyable part of the whole process, is the coloring.
We take extra care, paint meticulously and carefully each keycap by hand,
using small brushes and other tools like airbrush and even tools
made explicitly for the keycap made at the time.

6. Finishing

When the keycaps are painted and covered in a protective varnish, we
pack the keycaps in boxes and ship them to you.
