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!

My favorite keycap artisian is Landcaps.
They make many cool South East Asian themed keycaps - some even painted like this Sea Gorgon and Grayscale Capudra (they have so much depth!)

But of their keycaps, the one I like the most is their simplest: the Cold Night Maze.
A translucent beautifully blue cube.
It is a radical keycap, but yeah - I'm afraid it may not be acquirable anymore. Such is the nature of artisian keycaps.
Though, if you're looking for keycaps, I'd say to look for keyboard Discord servers. They often have a buy-sell chat where you could ask around if anyone has any of the keycap(s) you're looking for. Good luck on you search!

I'm thinking of getting this set, but I also want to have the Japanese enter key. Is that included in the base kit or is it an additional $45 in addition to the base kit?
One of the LEDs on my diffuser is already showing the wrong color :(
Is there a quick fix to this? I would hate to have to get a new pcb for a board that I bought a little less than a year ago...
Has anyone else encountered this issue?
I recently put together a Planck keyboard and I have noticed some keys don't type as they're supposed to. For instance D types as S and A types as F ect. I have switched out the switches on the board I was wondering if anybody knew a fix for this.
I recently bought the drop carina, thinking it came with a switch plate, can I buy the switch plate separately and if so could someone send a link to where I can, I literally cant find the plate anywhere
thanks
When I plug the drop CTRL, the keyboard give me some strange format which I cannot type normally. Try on MacBook chatting screen, it give character as picture. Anyone can help?
