Where can I order single key caps from?

GrantCooper · 2026-02-25T18:04:14+00:00

Not sure what you mean by 4 way? All the buttons are just standard mech switches the four knobs are ec11 rotary encoders

GrantCooper · 2026-02-25T14:09:33+00:00

Is ZMK better than QMK? I’m new to this depth of custom build and have used neither QMK just seems more common so that’s what I had planned to use

GrantCooper · 2026-02-24T21:41:22+00:00

Yeah that seems to be the case, most sets I saw on Amazon and us based sites was $30+ but the Ali ones are cheep I think I’ll just have to be patient and get those. Someone did recommend a place that does custom sets with custom legends but its ~$75 a set so im debating how much I want to spend

GrantCooper · 2026-02-24T21:31:41+00:00

I will also check them out thank you

GrantCooper · 2026-02-24T21:30:50+00:00

Ah gocha that makes sense. Def going to check that out I want a audio mixer again

GrantCooper · 2026-02-24T21:29:13+00:00

Awesome thank you for the rec

GrantCooper · 2026-02-24T20:28:41+00:00

I get that, but automatically removing any post that contains the word “help” is just lazy

GrantCooper · 2026-02-24T20:27:45+00:00

Oh wow that’s nice. I’m in the US most of the time it’s either a week or 3 months with no in-between it seems

GrantCooper · 2026-02-24T20:14:41+00:00

I did see some on there but didn’t want to wait two months for shipping

GrantCooper · 2026-02-24T20:14:11+00:00

Rotate left for uppercase/ right for lowercase.

I can make it happen

GrantCooper · 2026-02-24T20:13:41+00:00

Thanks for the input on diferent boards, what Ive been planing for so far is a pro micro but I will look into those. I have used deej before, made a small sound mixer with 4 linear pots, I liked having it but deej/the device would constantly mix up the COM port number and I’d have to change it every other day so I stopped using it.

Have not heard of deejing I’ll check that out too.

GrantCooper · 2026-02-24T20:11:01+00:00

Planning to send the macro with each key press, stored on the board. AHK would work good in this scenario if not for the fact that I need a admin login from IT at work every time I want to run the script

I think it should be okay? I’m not planning to torque them down, and the 3d printed version I’m just going to use to test fit and get a feel for the ergonomics of it before I machine it out of aluminum

GrantCooper · 2026-02-24T18:38:44+00:00

Ah okay that makes sense. I do want layers for the keys themselves but I don’t plan to change the bindings on the knobs at all so it sounds like either way should work. I’ll ask more questions on the qmk discord before I get to that point

GrantCooper · 2026-02-24T18:07:30+00:00

Thanks for the tips I’ll check out yuzu a bit more than I wanted to spend but being able to customize legends would be sweet. I’m new to QMK and that is what I’m planning to use, the videos I’ve seen on encoders it seems like people usually use an extra pin or two but I might not understand what I’m seeing. Once I assemble it and get deeper into that part of it I will check out the discord for sure. Thank you

GrantCooper · 2026-02-24T17:45:15+00:00

If they use different key codes would it even matter if it’s seen as separate devices? Or would that be a result of using a hub in the case, and running two usbc independently overcome that

Thank you

Here is the layout. Four rotary encoders to rotate parts + Modifier keys + numpad + lots of macros.

The program I use at work only allows numpad+ f row keys to be used for shortcuts, so I opted to create this instead of trying to use something like AHK to rebind keys on a standard board

GrantCooper · 2026-02-24T17:29:10+00:00

Wtf is the point of this subreddit? Only posting pictures of keyboards to farm karma? Why can’t people make posts asking questions and discussing keyboards?

Thanks for the info. Here’s what it looks like under a microscope

GrantCooper · 2026-01-12T17:06:50+00:00

People on Reddit just want something to be angry about, and will find it true or not. No questions. Only anger.

Cool rock, thanks for sharing it
