Custom printed keycaps
TL;DR: Are there any companies/websites that offer custom printed (one-off) keycaps?
-----
I've been using a custom layout for a couple of years now, and recently I attached Dymo labels on a blank keycap set, but obviously that's far from perfect. It's better than using a permanent marker (and wiping it off with acetone when necessary), but the labels feel slippery, and may not last very long (I've had them for about 2 weeks now).
I'm still working out a few kinks in the custom layout, but when it's "done", I might want to get a custom printed keycap set.
I know WASD Keyboards offers a custom printing service (http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/products/printed-keycap-singles/custom-art-cherry-mx-keycaps.html), but it is super-pricey (minimum price is 6 $ per keycap).
Are there any other websites that offer something similar? Some of the keycaps would be standard, so if the same website offers a regular set with the same materials and colors for cheaper, that would be a bonus.
And I might not really need custom *graphics*, so if there's a site that allows custom text legend printing instead of custom graphics, that would be of interest, too. I'm not really looking for color printing, either, just custom icons.
Also bonus points for printing on the front of the keycaps, although I could add those with the Dymo labels, since they wouldn't wear off or feel slippery there.
Or should I just start looking into a laser engraving machine if I want custom printed keycaps without Dymo labels? Would be cheaper than a full custom keycap set from WASD Keyboards at 6 $ / keycap... And I'd pick up a new hobby. :D

My friend ordered plenty of custom printed stuff from them. You can also upload a picture and get a custom picture.

I guess if you order full layout it's cheaper. I am currently considering a custom layout from WASD or MA Keyboard, maybe we shall try writing them?

Max Keyboard, sorry for a typo. They offer full layout that is printed for your needs, so I guess they can theoretically print something a little different. Their price for one-off "print me standard layout in those colors" is not high.

As far as I know, pad printing is done in one sweep over whole layout, so printing single key takes a lot of work, printing layout only takes more material.

Two weeks without parcel update after it shipped?
Hello, I'm not sure where to ask for this so I'll try here. I ordered a Rohan Keyboard+Mousepad 2 weeks ago, on the 12th of Dec. I received an e-mail saying it was shipped on the 15th so, pretty fast. But ever since then, no news. The last update on the DHL tracking website says "PROCESSING COMPLETED AT ORIGIN" on the 18th, which was more than a week ago - Google tells me that it means "parcel left the country of origin" (i'm ordering from France). I've tried asking customer support if they could track it down or give me at least a broad estimate of when I ought to expect it, but no answer so far. I understand shipping might take some time with the holidays and all, but if it was shipped around two weeks ago, shouldn't it have arrived by now? And whats up with no parcel updates for ten days? Sorry if I asked in the wrong place, with no customer support answer I'm kinda getting worried.

Closest profile to MT3
I really enjoy the MT3 profile, it has actually become kind of difficult to type on other profiles. So I was looking for some that might be close and noticed the SA profile. I was wondering if there were anymore that were close to it. This would open my options significantly when shopping around.

In stock items haven't shipped yet
Hi, I ordered an MT3 (2048 extended) keycap set on Nov 25. It was supposed to be shipped on Nov 29. The keycaps have still *not* shipped. I also ordered the media keycap set (2048 extended) on Nov 26. This was shipped on Nov 27 even though the estimated ship date was Nov 29. I'm just wondering, how long it's going to take for the base keycap set to ship? Given that it had a ship date of Nov 29, and the items are actually in stock.

Adding a virtual numpad to your TKL
I thought a fun little Xmas project would be to add a virtual numeric keypad to a ten-keyless keyboard. In my case, the DROP CTRL. But it should work with any 87 or 88 key keyboard (i.e., has the insert/delete/.../PgDn cluster and cursor keys). I chose a TKL over a full width keyboard because I don't need the numpad all that much and having it there pushes my mouse too far to the right to my taste. Should I really need a numpad for a few hours, I'd use a different keyboard. If I should ever need one very often, I'd get a separate numpad so I can put it whereever I want. But... there are times where this is overkill and it's still nice to be able to type numbers a bit more easily than using the number row. I'm a pretty good touch typist but using the number row is still a bit too error prone. Especially when copying numbers from paper or another window so you're not looking at what you're typing. Ok, so what's the deal? Simple: create a layer with the following key...

There Are No Best Switches for Gaming
Figure 1: Nope, not a single one of these is necessarily better than the rest... For no particular reason, I’ve been spending more and more time over the past few months in and around various mechanical keyboard help forums and servers. Despite having never really relied on their services back in my day when I first joined the hobby, I can kind of understand the appeal of them to new and curious enthusiasts as they generally seem like go-to places to connect with people who know a thing or two about keyboards. What I cannot wrap my mind around, however, is the sheer number of times that the exact same comments, questions, or concerns that get raised by the newer hobbyists get repeated. Even with FAQ or pinned set of questions, people seemingly only seem to think about and/or be concerned about the exact same set of things when it comes to their first keyboards. One of these types of questions that I find particularly concerning are those that are directly or indirectly...

How to Introduce the Keyboard Hobby to Others This Holiday Season
Prototype QFRL100 by Thebloodyez with GMK ZX "It's just a keyboard." My Friends, Kate and Jaime’s Expressions After I Explained to Them That There Was Such a Thing as a Keyboard Hobby Many of us have heard this, either stated to us directly by a quizzical individual wondering why on earth we’d find our hobby interesting or as part of someone else’s conversation that we happened to have overheard. While there are certainly less mainstream hobbies than mechanical keyboards, it’s definitely not a common hobby, and it makes sense that those that aren’t in the hobby may not understand “what the point” of having a mechanical keyboard would be. While those same people may still not truly “get it,” even after attempting to explain to them what makes our hobby enjoyable, at least you’ll have introduced them to the hobby, and sometimes a glimmer of curiosity is all that it takes before they start their journey to become a keyboard enthusiast! Especially since it’s the...
