The price is a lot better if you get a decent DKC coupon. I guess, there's not enough club members and/or members with good coupons to get this past the finish line. My total was a little over 60 bucks which I think is totally worth the price for a quality piece of kit. But you need a good DKC coupon for that. :/
Is there a way for us to remove the glass panel without having to touch it with our hands and get the it dirty every time? Seems like an issue with the design.
ObiWanKanabeI found you can tilt the case backwards slightly, and the lid slides. You can catch and hold the edge without touching the top/bottom directly. I wouldn't say it's an issue (unless maybe you have greasy oil cheetos fingers)
Wow , the price on this INSANE
you can get 6x4 with 24 different switches in acrylic case for 25$
there is even full aluminum case with glass top and bottom that costs 75$
The product looks okay and id think about it if it would be around 50$ otherwise for 120$ i can order custom to be cnc'd
yarosmThis is confusing - 6x4 with 24 different switches? Sounds like a switch tester, this is an artisan keycap display box. I'm curious about this 'full aluminum case with glass top and bottom' though, got a link?
Hi everyone,
I'm excited to announce the launch and sale of our first premium artisan case. This has been something Keycadets and I have been working on since the summer.
While I understand the first impression of this product is sticker shock, please understand that Keycadets is using a high-quality manufacturer for the best looking and feeling product. Having aluminum CNC'd, anodized, and custom glass cut, along with a brass engraving - is not cheap. Additionally, factoring in the QC and shipping overseas lands us at the competitive cost that we're able to offer today.
From a previous reply down below,
High quality artisan cases have been trending in the past year based on the boom in new and old members looking for a nice way to display their collections. You can always put artisans on your keyboards (which has always been the intention), but this is just a luxury alternative.
We're not expecting everyone to be able afford this case, there are definitely some more budget friendly (and also higher priced ones) out in the market. Here are some links in all ranges, ranging from acrylic, 3d printing, wood, and metal material -

Brendon93I know this comment is years old at this point, but d_flo_yo's comment got me curious. I looked into those caps, and there was no sarcasm. Those are Hello Caps - Bongo Cats that apparently EACH sell for $400 - $600 on average. With a full case of those, yes, that would be a case of $10k worth of key caps.
How do you tell me you're a mech enthusiast with too much money, without telling me you're a mech enthusiast with too much money?
It looks like a mech, it holds custom caps like a mech, it costs as much as a mech, BUT IT'S NOT A MECH!
Why not just buy, you know, a mech, to show off your custom caps? (unless easily swapping artisans is a thing for people... ?)
