Keycap Series: Featuring Artists of the Month

October 03, 2024 0 Comments

Enjoying art and fun shouldn't come with a hefty price tag; it can be both high-quality and affordable.


Welcome to this monthly new series where I will be spotlighting talented keycap artists whose work I have come across and purchased from them as I love their designs. With reasonable pricing and shipping options that have proven worthwhile to me, here I am sharing them with you. Whether you're in search of intricacy, uniqueness, or affordability in artisan keycaps, I hope you find inspiration and the opportunity to support these creators.


Getting into the hobby and into the rabbit hole of artisan keycaps can be a bit overwhelming for the pocket as one artisan keycap can cost as much as a whole set, with some costing more than S$80 (not including shipping fees yet). And let's not get started on shipping... If you are in Singapore or South East Asia, sometimes shipping from overseas sellers are more than S$20-40+!😵


[Beginner's Guide to Artisan Keycaps: Everything You Need to Know]


Hopefully this list helps you as it did me (especially if you are from South East Asia) and support the lovely artists who are doing a wonderful job, and making it a little bit more easier for you and your wallet in personalizing your mechanical keyboard!


*Do note that these are based on my own experiences and thoughts, so remember to always check the reviews before committing to anything.

Keycap Series: Egg Dori by AnyKey aka any____key

October 02, 2024 0 Comments

AnyKey aka any____key makes their adorable iterations of their Bear character called Dori available through Raffle Sales (with Google Forms) which are announced on their Instagram and discord server. I first came across their adorable Dori creations on Instagram and was immediately smitten with the beary cute designs!

Anykey announces the latest sales and updates to shipping, as well as posts about past creations on their Instagram and their Discord, so do check them out!


One thing to note is that shipping of the adorable Dori creations take about a month or so to be made and then shipped out.


Previously I had gotten their Lime Boom! Dori and Hibernation Dori, then I saw the delicious Egg Dori and just had to get him. The invoice for Egg Dori was USD$50, including shipping. I paid S$70.57 via PayPal (no thanks to currency conversation😂). You can tell I am becoming a fan of Dori the bear... This already is my third Dori (and I am not going to stop)!

Keycap Series: September Artist Featuring pyuyucaps

September 29, 2024 0 Comments


September brings the cozy vibes of autumn and the magic of the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival. So to celebrate, instead of the usual 1 artist, 2 artists who capture the essence of the season will be featured this month. 


Last week we had Jen, all the way from Australia, the wonderful lady behind kōyōkeys. This week we have pyuyucaps who is right across the causeway from Malaysia. Her adorable creations range from about US$30-55+ (about S$40-70+) and shipping to Singapore is US$15 (about S$20)


What I appreciate about pyuyucaps is that she has an online shop as well as raffle sales and commission open on her Instagram page, so there are options. Her creations on her Big Cartel shop are simply adorable and have a nice clean finish to them. 

 

When I saw 'YU' bunny (玉兔), I simply fell in love with the sweet pink and adorable design! 


So into the shopping cart 'YU' bunny (玉兔) went along with her friends, and they soon made their way to me. 😆 It was a pleasant surprise that instead of delivery via the post office it was via a courier and arrived in a faster time (less than a week).


[Keycap Series: Featuring Artists of the Month

[Beginner's Guide to Artisan Keycaps: Everything You Need to Know]


The shopping experience was straight forward and simple. It would be nice if the currency could be auto-converted to reflect the currency I am using but that was not a deal breaker. I appreciated the online store experience:

  1. Paypal was a payment option.
  2. No need to create an account just to make purchase. As long as you have your Order number, you are able to keep track of your order easily.
  3. Once the order was confirmed and on the way, the tracking ID is provided.
  4. Updates from the courier when the parcel is out for delivery.


Now on to the fun part… Unboxing the happy mail of  'YU' bunny (玉兔)  and her friends! 
I adore the packaging and the nicely tied bow on the box. Also... the cute stickers and seal mascot are simply adorable, don’t you think? 😍

Keycap Series: September Artist Featuring kōyōkeys

September 24, 2024 0 Comments

September brings the cozy vibes of autumn and the magic of the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival. So to celebrate, instead of the usual 1 artist, 2 artists who capture the essence of the season will be featured this month.  The first featured artist is kōyōkeys.


Hailing from Australia, Jen is the wonderful lady behind kōyōkeys. The name kōyō means autumn leaves changing color. The keycaps are primarily made from epoxy resin but some specialty designs may include other materials such as polymer clay and glitter. The overall result are designs which are minimalistic yet elegant. 


kōyōkeys  keycaps range from about S$64-120+ (US$45-88+), and shipping to Singapore is S$20


Most designs, or colorways as they are called, have about 6-12 units available while the more popular ones might have a little more in quantity (i.e. about 20 units). Each colorway is unique and it might be hard to replicate the same color exactly, so you can be assured that you would be getting a one of a kind little piece of art keycap.


Jen has an interesting take on Raffles Sales: instead of using Google Forms, she offers a range of designs (and quantity) on her online store. The new designs are then announced on her Instagram page. In a way they are raffled just on an online store instead of using Google Forms. Doing so allows interested buyers to "raffle" their luck and see if they are able to check out with their desired color way. 

 

This definitely saves time on administration and the manual effort having to individually contacting each buyer, send them an invoice and see if they have paid or not before packing etc... And for buyers, the result is almost instant in seeing if they are able to get the colorway which they wanted. I like this approach as the wait is practically more than halved and you can received the keycaps much earlier than your regular Raffle Sale method via Google Forms. 

One day, I happened to be browsing Instagram and came across Jen's post announcing that there was going to be sales (along with some new releases) on her online store. Sales day come, I went to check out the online store and checked out a sunflower rakuyō keycap. 😍

It was the typical Shopify platform experience but I appreciated the online store experience:

  1. Auto-currency conversion on the site and displayed it already in S$.
  2. Paypal was a payment option.
  3. No need to create an account just to make purchase. As long as you have your Order number, you are able to keep track of your order easily.
  4. Once the order was confirmed and on the way, an estimated date period was included in the update email.
  5. Taxes and shipping calculated at checkout.
  6. Email updates from Australian Post on the status of the delivery so you can travel virtual with your package.

While navigation on the online shop was relatively simple for purchasing, the links for contact, care instructions, FAQ, and shipping & delivery, were 'hidden' at the bottom. Whether you are on a mobile device browser or your computer browser, you would have to scroll all the way down to see the links which made it a tad inaccessible and not so user friendly for first timers on the site. It would have been good to replicate the links to the top navigation bar to make it easier to explore and navigate before making a purchase.

Now on to the fun part. The shipment from kōyōkeys  arrived without any "hiccups". Packing was a little more premium with a velvet little pouch to house the keycap, customized box and certificate.

Keycap Series: August Artist Featuring AnyKey aka any____key

August 26, 2024 0 Comments


Introducing the artist for August… AnyKey aka any____key


I found them on Instagram and they have their own discord server (for those who have the time and energy for yet another app 😂). They are relatively new to the scene, being online since 2023 and having their Instagram account in August 2023.


Unlike the other artists who have their own Esty and/or online shop, AnyKey makes their adorable iterations of their Bear character called Dori available through Raffle Sales (with Google Forms) which are announced on their Instagram and discord server.  Apparently for each run there are only about 15 pieces (limited run), but fret not as there are about 3-5 runs per month of this adorable little bear. 


Despite its “exclusivity”, the pricing for Dori is reasonable at USD$35 (about S$50), and shipping USD$15 (about S$20) to Singapore. Considering it is coming from South Korea, with such adorable variations of Dori the bear, it's quite a friendly pricing (including shipping). 😆


Aren’t these snapshots of Dori in some of the iterations simply too adorable to resist?


I wished I had made it for the Raffle Sales for the HBD Dori, but the Lime Boom! Dori caught my eye and so I entered the Raffle Sales seeing if I would be able to get it... and I did! It was a pleasant surprise to be able to “win” my first Raffle Sales. The invoice for Lime Boom! Dori was USD$50, including shipping. I paid S$70.99 via PayPal (no thanks to currency conversation😂).


That said I did fall in love with Hibernation Dori, another of AnyKey Dori creations. It will get its own post since it is so adorable. So stay tuned for that post!


Ok back to Lime Boom! Dori ... He arrived in a nice little a metal casing with AnyKey's logo, along with his own certificate!


Check out the unboxing video below:



How to Buy

The mode of which the keycaps are sold is via Raffle Sales with Google Forms: where you sign up to win a chance to buy the keycaps. The form is usually open for 24 hours and sales are conducted on a first come first serve basis. If payment is not made within 24 hours, then it gets cancelled and you would not be able to particulate in the next raffle. 


The Google Forms is pretty straight forward and detailed, so if you are signing up for a chance to win remember to read carefully the instructions. The only part I did not understand was Nickname and Name, but I managed to complete the form and win a chance to get the adorable Lime Boom! Dori. 😂

Keycap Series: LittleCutieDesign Review

August 06, 2024 0 Comments



Coming from China, LittleCutieDesign has a store on Etsy and mostly does keycap designs based on 3D modeling. Besides artisan keycaps, the shop also has curated keycap sets which you can find on other platforms such as Taobao, AliExpres, Shopee or Lazada, for much cheaper.


What stood out was the vast design genres available on the Etsy shop: there are sweet adorable animals and food, and also cool sci-fi metallic or punk vibes. There is surely one keycap which would suit your sense of aesthetics.  


One thing to note is that not all the keycaps or keycap sets are that unique (similar designs can be found on Shopee, Lazada, Taobao etc...) for much less. So if you really want to know if you are getting your money's worth, then you would have to do your research and compare prices across platforms.


Of course the dog themed keycaps caught my eye and I was sure I was not able to find them somewhere else for that price, particularly with the "free shipping" and the promotion they had for a customized keycap. 


They were having a sale and delivery to Singapore (from China) was “free”, so I got a Husky keycap and a custom made keycap of my pet dog - a golden retriever.


The golden retriever keycap was custom made so that took a while longer (almost 2.5 months). The process was where I had to send photos of my dog to make sure they were able to capture it all on a little keycap. And that was it, there was no further communications or mockup of the final product before production so no changes and you have to accept what is given.


For just S$65 (US$48~)with free delivery it could be considered a good deal… except that the quality is really subpar. The final product was poorly made: the clay was not evenly cut and exposed the from corners of the keycap, the paint job was could have been slightly better too. 



Unboxing


Maybe my expectations were too high, but overall I was not too satisfied with the final product, which is a first time this has ever happened. Although exchanges are excepted within 14 days of delivery, it's too much of a hassle to handle the shipping back (and paying for it), I decided to keep this little piece of disappointment.



At least it was not all bad, the other Husky keycap looked adorable and met expectations. It seems to be out of production at the moment but for around S$55 (US$40~) it was not too bad since delivery to Singapore was “free”. But if you want a similar style you could check out @shirouu.kaps. Although it costs more, the experience should be better. 

Artist Info

  • Style: 🧚 Fantasy/ Nature-Inspired / Gaming / Anime / Food 🍲
  • Pricing (per keycap)an average of S$15 to S$80 (US$11 to US$60). Keycap sets costs much more.
  • Shipping to Singapore: Free
  • Shipping Internationally: depends on your location but should be reasonable (or free)
  • Wait Time: Out of all the purchases I have made so far, the wait time for just creating the keycap was the longest since I had an order for a customized keycap. It was more than a month, about 2.5 months before I received the keycaps.
  • Material: 3D Printing, Metal, Wood, Resin
  • Location: China
  • Social Media: 

💗 Loves

💗 Variety (but do your research to make sure you are getting your money’s worth).
💗 Reasonable shipping price and overall pricing for some keycaps.


💔 Not so much

💔 Poor communication (or rather lack of communications).
💔 Unevenness of the keycap and disproportionateness.
💔 Poorly made for the customized keycap. 
💔 Lack of quality control and assurance (this is echoed through some of the reviews on Etsy). 


Remember to compare prices and shipping costs across different artisans and platforms to find the best fit for your budget!

Keycap Series: A Shopee Guide to Affordable and Good Quality Artisan Keycaps

July 27, 2024 0 Comments

This guide will be about sellers on Shopee selling reasonably priced and quality keycaps for Singapore buyers. The best part about Shopee is that there are vouchers which could be used to discount the final price and the best part is delivery is free (just ensure you remember to download the vouchers). 


If you are wondering what is Shopee, it’s basically a shopping platform like Amazon but with pricing closer to Temu. They have an app for Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines and Indonesia, mostly for the South East Asian countries. Besides the (probably) more affordable (cheaper) pricing, shipping is either free or less than SGD$2 (for majority of the sellers). The only downside is that you need a local number and address for each of the Shopee country app. 

 If you have not signed up for Shopee and want to get S$5 off your first order, sign up 🠊here🠈😊 Alternatively, if you already have an account but have not bought anything yet, you can still get S$5 off your first order with this code 7L6EM9H

  • Keycap sets: Perfect if you want to change out your old keycaps or simply want to give your mechanical keyboard a new look without having to buy a new one. Any design you can think of as long as it is not the "normal" looking keycaps and comes in enough pieces to fit your keyboard. 
  • Accent Pieces: Usually used on a lesser used key like "Escape" or simply a center piece(s) for your keyboard.
    • Custom: Anything you can imagine is probably able to be turned into a keycap based on your imagination and vision, along with the skills of the artist.
    • Resin/Blanks/Novelty - Based on the artists interpretation and inspiration they create their keycaps and you buy them if you like them from their store or google forms (via raffle sales).


These sellers from Shopee below are ones which I have bought from before and find their designs matching my aesthetics. Their pricing is also wallet friendly ranging from S$5-$30+ per keycap. Hence sharing them with you because sharing is caring. So read on with caution (for your wallet). 😛

Spy x Family Design the purple number keys were a mix and match with the Kuromi set

I found this seller on Shopee and tried their keycaps. I got the Spy x Family, Pokemon and Kuromi designs and the quality is not too bad for the price.  The delivery experience was not too bad, taking about 8 days to reach me. The keycap sets survived the delivery process and came in bags.

Cute, affordable and the best part is that it is customizable: you can choose the color of the keycaps! 

The seller is also pretty responsive to the chat and there are many options to choose from. I've bought from this seller a few times and delivery times are within 6-9 days, which can be considered pretty fast. It is also well packaged and the keycaps came in good condition each and every time. 

Seller: happykeycap89.sg

Looking for something more unique and familiar? I stumbled across this seller on Shopee because of the adorable Winnie the Pooh designs! The heart also got my attention.

Here you can also choose your own keycap color and the type of keycap used is different too, it's XDA which give it a different feeling and profile.

Delivery time is slightly longer than the other sellers, taking about 8-12 days but each key is bubble wrapped and in a cute bag too.  Their designs are unique and adorable. Workmanship is also good.

Keycap Series: July Artist Featuring peache_atelier

July 22, 2024 0 Comments


For the month of July, the artist of the month is peache_atelier, also known as Trish, who is located in Singapore! She is relatively new to the scene but her design aesthetics are uniquely adorable with her attention to details for her creations inspired from food to animals. She mainly focuses on clay creations such as charms, trinkets and has expanded to artisan keycaps. She might be starting out her (adventure) but the designs and detail on her creations are simply worth it.


Shipping (within Singapore) is S$2


International shipping is also reasonable:

  1. Malaysia & Brunei: S$7.10
  2. Countries in Asia & the Pacific (except Australia, Japan, New Zealand): S$9.30
  3. Australia, Japan, New Zealand and the rest of the world: S$11.90


Her keycap creations range from an average of S$13 to S$22+. The price range is appreciated along with the unique and good quality designs. 😆

I first came across peache_atelier on Instagram, and went to check out her creations. 😍


What caught my attention was the delicious looking Capybara Butter Toast. It was simply too cute to resist, and the pricing made it even more irresistible!  Totoro was a little bonus. 


Unlike the artists featured so far who have an Etsy store or their own online store, she offers her creations via her Ko-Fi Page and Instagram account. If you are accessing via the Ko-Fi page, just click on the design you want and follow the instructions to check out your latest addition. If it is via Instagram, simply DM her. It is simple and easy (especially for Singaporean buyers since PayNow is also accepted). 😊


peache_atelier  was really fast and responsive, sending out the keycap within 3 working days. In total, it took 5 working days to receive the parcel. 


Packaging was sufficient: Capybara Butter Toast and Totoro were snuggly encased with soft cotton and arrived in pristine condition. The cat stickers that came along were super cute too! 




The overall experience was fantastic. Aren't the creations adorable and so detailed? 😀
