Show Us Your Favorite Artisan Keycaps

Apr 3, 202021217 VIEWS

Whether they’re carved and painted by hand or molded from resin to tight tolerances, artisan keycaps are a unique artistic expression (and often a labor of love). We’ve seen the artisan keyap community explode recently as these mini masterpieces become more and more accessible—and we want to see what you’ve got. Post a photo in the thread below of your favorite artisan keycap (or a few, if you really want to show off). Once we compile all the photos next week, we’ll give away a free Drop ALT Mechanical Keyboard to one lucky winner! To kick things off, we’ll start with our favorite artisan of late: the Hot Keys Project Raiden. Your turn. Good luck!

NOTE: The contest begins April 3rd, 2020 and closes on April 10th, 2020. Limited to one entry per person. Winner will be announced on this post on April 13th, 2020. No purchase necessary to enter or win.

APRIL 13, 2020 UPDATE

CONTEST NOW CLOSED! Congrats to @monoman for winning a brand new ALT keyboard! Please shoot us an email at social-admin@massdrop.com to claim your prize!

And, of course, a big 'thank you' to everyone who entered.

I love Dwarf Factory keycaps, most notably the fantasy/sci-fi themed ones. Their latest is extremely nice!

My sole artisan and favourite, Specter from Hot Keys. The blue pairs well with the bottom row of my Tai-Hao Hawaii keycaps.

ohh that series from hotkeysproject i liked a lot.... and in this case that one matches the keycap's color scheme as if it had been made for it.

Drop Alt won't connect...at all?

Hi! I bought my Drop Alt around this time last yr and used it daily from then-late July, but have only used it a couple times since then. I probably haven't used it in a month or two. Now, it refuses to connect to power at all, through either port, using a cable I've used for it in the past. The orange light won't even come on. I've cleaned the ports. Any ideas? Many thanks!!!

TKL barebones for ~£100

Hello all, I am in the UK and would love to get a good barebones to build off for around £100, currently I am torn over the Keychron K8 PRO and the Drop CTRL. I don't really want to lube stuff and change stabilisers. Nothing with long postage or huge back orders either

Advice for multifunction keyboard

Hi people! I'm updating my workstation setup as follows: one monitor for two systems, a gaming pc and a macbook, with one mouse and one keyboard. Now, the monitor and the mouse are a settled choice (a Dough f.k.a. Eve Spectrum and my current mouse + a Magic trackpad) but there's a huge question mark over the keyboard choice and I'm asking for your help. There's no need for multidevice since the monitor works as an hub, but i'm looking for a 65% mech with low profile caps and muffled switches. The main doubt is about the layout, there are keyboards out there with mixed MS/OSX layout? Thank you guys!🙏🏻

What is the deal with connecting the keyboard?

Of the 8 usb ports (4: 2.0, 4: 3.1) on my machine, one of the ports sees the drop ctrl keyboard when it is plugged in. The one port that worked was the usb-c port. Luckily I had a usb-c to usb-c cable lying around. The cable that came with the drop ctrl didn't work at all. I found this super bizarre. Anyone know what's up with the seemingly random port issue I have?
