Transparent Heart Keycap?

[EdwardBrown]

I see a lot of heart keycaps, some transparent. I can't find one where just the heart is transparent rather than the key. Anyone know of one?

if all else fails you can just get a transparent cap and a can of paint to your choice.

Doesn't fit your description completely, but these ones are pretty cool.

I hear WASD has a ton of keycap options. Not sure if they have what you're looking for though.

Yeah, the were the ones I saw (and will probably end up with lol). What I was hoping for was the inverse of that.

That's an idea actually.

comes with a warning ahead of time that it'll require skill, and potentially also some trial & error.

 

oh, and a decent place to paint. low moisture, nice and warm, as little dust as possible, decent movement of air to stop you from getting high. (which actually.. i've painted in a basement, its quite fun, but not advised )

I think the transparent purple one is sick.

I'm pretty used to working with spray paints so thats fine. The only thing that would be difficult would be making a perfect 8 bit heart template on sticker paper.

 

Actually come to think of it I have a friend who has a 3d printer... fully custom keycaps?!

you'd still not be able to get a 2-tone cap if he doesnt have a printer that can print 2 types of fillament together.

 

if that friend can print out the heart shape you'd avoid needing to cut the template yourself.

I was going to print a fully transparent keycap then cut out a heart shaped sticker with a scalpel and spray the whole thing. I would probably make the heart slightly inset aswell.
