The artistic key cap processing process includes:

1.Design:First, the designer creates a special design for the key cap art. This design includes a specific shape, size and type of writing or image on the face of the key cap.

2.Mold making: Once the design is completed, a mold is created using a CNC machine or 3D printer. This template will be used to make copies of each key cap.

3.Making key cap: After the mold has been prepared, the plastic material will be poured into the mold with high pressure to create the key cap. If the key cap is designed with complex lines or patterns, extended mold life will be necessary to ensure that the finished product is made.

4.Finishing: The next step in the key cap art production process is finishing by trimming off excess plastic sheets around the key cap and peeling off the protective coating on the key cap face to reveal a special image or character.

5.Paint or print texture: Finally, the pattern or character on the key cap is painted or printed using high-end printing technology. Once painted or printed, the product is processed and passes a rigorous quality control process before it is released to the market.

Keycap processing techniques

Requiring a lot of technology, effort and resources, it is not difficult to understand when the current cost of each keypress is quite high. Along with that, the process to bring a product from receiving the request to delivering it to the customer is still complicated, making it difficult for keycap to expand the community.

Behind each collection is a unique story, inspired by a multitude of topics as diverse as folk myths, mystical creatures, popular video games, a post-apocalyptic metropolis, or even a tiny hamburger shop. It is no exaggeration to say that each keycap is a miniature world.

But besides the economic potential, the core of the keycap hobby is still a delight for artisans and collectors. “The greatest joy is probably doing what I love every day, playing with an idea, and being serious about it. When we see the product go from the page, the computer screen to the finished product, which can be attached to the keyboard and used immediately, the feeling is indescribable.”
