Custom Keycaps
Ever wanted to spice up your keyboard/Hackpad/fidget toy/where ever you have a keyboard switch?
Try making your own custom keycaps!
This short guide will go over my process of making custom keycaps for my Highway projects (as well as going over some handy CAD commands)
encoder knob tutorial also included at the end :3
guide by @egg_splats! check out my other keyboard-related projects, the Biblically Accurate Keyboard and the Engipad
FYI, this guide will be using Fusion 360! this guide will also be modeling keycaps for standard MX switches (no low-profile switches, but feel free to take notes/inspiration!)
...but why?
Custom keycaps are a nice way to add some personal flair and ✩ polish ✩ to your keyboard projects aside from the case and PCB. They can be placed anywhere, such as the escape key on a 75% keyboard or on a macro-binded key on a deskside macropad.
Custom keycaps can also help with making a certain theme more cohesive and "complete", such as the custom keycaps with eyes on my biblically accurate keyboard!
