Custom keycaps for Cherry MX

[fommil]

I've seen some truly amazing custom Kerbal input devices on these forums, but I don't have the time to take on a project of that magnitude (but I'd possibly be willing to pay someone to make me one of the Arduino designs... they just blow me away).

Thinking about something basic, I would like to get a custom Cherry MX keycap set printed. There are companies that do this at reasonable cost and I was really just thinking about having simple icons on the keys that denote what the command does, with an appropriate key cap colour.

Typical costs and options:

Has anybody on this forum created a custom layout before that they'd be willing to share as an SVG (or compatible format that they accept).

Best regards,

Kerbals just need a space key version of this. (/me runs)

... I don't know. The UV cured coating they use on the caps is very durable and all, but it gets yellow over time. Given that you don't need that amount of durability for a KSP keyboard, I'd look around for another company.

I also have an older WASD with laser printed keys instead, it's used everyday at the office to program on it, so hard use for 3 years now. It's in perfect condition.

So, while it's cool and all. I would look around for some other company with some other method of printing, like laser, I believe it should be cheaper too (the printing, not what they charge, mind you ).

On the other hand, WASD quality is second to none and has DA BEST costumer service you'll find in your life. So there's that, you know you'll get what you ordered.
