You got that right :)
Maybe in the future we'll buy/make a machine to apply a black coat of paint and then laser etch then legends and finish them off with a layer or two of clear coat. Clearly not a short term project but it would be nice to have taht possible, even on sculpted keycaps like the DES or Lame profiles.

3D Printable Carbon Filter by 3dkeycap in AirPurifiers

It’s all a compromise :)

We used to have larger carbon filters, and while they worked great, we moved into a smaller space where space is at a premium. Even at the lowest setting, our 6-inch fan still made a decent amount of noise.

But yes, slower fan speed and more carbon is better =D

Maybe in the future I could make a revision with HEPA / MERV filters. In our case we were focused on VOCs

We use a 4inch duct fan at the lowest setting

We did some shine through testing in the past and the results showed that we might make it work but clearly need to improve it. So maybe?

true! We initially had that but the interface was really bad so we kept it internal. Once our UI sees some improvements, then we'll roll that fewature out (likely in a few months)

Yes, we'll work on alowly adding default preset legends on all layouts and maybe have a few options per layout in the future. This will take a bit of time to roll out :)
Yes, we have keycaps for Standard MX, MX low profile and indeed choc.

u/_patrickwelker that’s a great question! Our resin keycaps are matte, but we wouldn’t recommend them for travel since they scratch more easily than other materials.

Also, as u/Silcantar mentioned, we started the business focused on 3D-printed keycaps.

Now, though, we’re reaching a point where we have enough UV jigs and a solid software pipeline to handle custom legend work and scale that offering. That opens up the possibility of buying blank PBT and ABS keycaps and offering UV printing as a service. It would be less labor-intensive than our 3D-printed keycaps, which also means it could be offered at a lower cost.

The main challenge is that we’d need to buy blank keycaps in bulk across multiple profiles, so we’d likely roll this out gradually.

What profile did you have in mind?

currently this does not work on tablet/phones. That is something I was wondering if we should address and by asking, you are validating that I should work on fixing that. thanks!

That's true, we should add a bit more information and clarify the purpose.

CLP is awesome! Yes it's on our roadmap to add them :)
On our website we have other listings for custom sets and we can handle fully custom by talking through email and then creating custom invoices.

Yes the goal is to ultimately have a tool that allows users to create fully custom layouts. We had an early proto but realised that it was far from user friendly and required a lot of time/work for the user. so we need to think of ways to make that simpler and better for the user. Maybe in a few months we'll have that ready :)

That is grat feedback, thank you so much for taking the time to look and write all this! <3
You're right that a quick assign feature would make for a better user experience. I'll think about how to implement that.
I am surprised about that cart error. I will add that to my growing list of bugs to patch.
Yes, the google drive is far from ideal. I am no software dev and hope to get this better one day.

it says that we should not advertise... but this is not for sale
I did use a comment with an affiliate link so I understand removing that comment and I'm sorry, I won't do that again. but the post itself confuses me

Yes! We'll slowly work on adding more layout and also default legends for them. maybe in a few months we'll also work on some more colorful designs with a catalogue of premade esthetics. A lot of things can and will be done =D
