To celebrate the launch of c/emk on Lemmy, we have decided to give away a custom keycaps set to the new community’s members!

How to participate?

  • Create your dream custom keycap set on fkcaps.com/custom (any profile/layout is allowed)
  • At the very last step called “Summary”, click “Save for later” (or buy it, you’ll be refunded if you win)
  • Copy the 6 characters code given, and paste it in a (top level) comment below

🚀 LET’S GO!

Requirements

  • Be a Lemmy community member
  • Have an account on FK (you will be prompted for your email when “saving for later”)

We are looking forward to see the custom sets you’ll come up with! If you have any questions or comments, let us know!

FAQ

  • How will you pick the winner?

We’ll use an online randomizer altogether with obosob (community mod). First code pulled wins!

  • Can I make any layout or does it have to be ergo?

Any layout is can win this giveaway, but you know where our heart is!

  • Which keycap profile is allowed?

All keycap profiles are allowed. We currently have DSA, MDA, Cherry and MBK. If you have profile requests, submit a feature request

  • How many keys can I include in my custom layout?

There is no hard limit, but for the sake of it, let’s say 200 keys max 😉

Winner

Congrats to @Djeikup@lemmy.world your set has been drawn and will be sent to you for free! I have also sent coupons to all other participants, I hope you have enjoyed testing the app as much as I did enjoy looking at your sets!

FYI I did the draw and sent a video to OBOSOB (mod of this sub) to show it’s been done in good faith!

    I notice all the 1.5u choc caps are out. I assume there is no way to make those for the giveaway?

      Oh there was actually some confusion in the software with convex/concave options, thanks for pointing it out, I have fixed it now!

    (I couldn’t find the possibility to rotate 1.5u keycaps by 90 degrees … and realized I need to rotate the image … added a feature request)

      rotating keys is a big feature request, and we’ve added the “rotate” legend capabilities very recently to circumvent the issue (temporarily). we’ll get there, and thanks for submitting that feature request!

    QQJ4EN - Thanks for the drawing! Love the idea of being able to customize keycaps to this extent. Finding keycaps is a huge problem for ergo keyboards. Especially with custom layouts and non-qwerty layouts. Great job!

      Thank you for the kind words! I have been on that path and that’s the reason it all got started, I’m glad you are enjoying it today!

    Looks great! I wish there was a little more customization available: I use Colemak DH, and I would prefer icons instead of full “backspace” on a 1u.

      Thanks!

      You may have missed a few options then, at the “Legends” step. You can:

      • click on keys to edit its text label (and also add text/icons or even custom SVG by clicking “vector”)
      • drag and drop icons from common icon libraries, from the “Icons” tab on the left panel

      To edit your set to make those changes:

      • Go to your creations using this link, or by clicking the user icon in the top right
      • Click the set you want to edit
      • Click the “customize” button

      Note that it won’t actually “edit” it, but create a new one. So you have to complete the process until “save for later”, and update your code in your first comment :)

        Unicode chars should also work, if the font supports it. I’ve tested U+232B (Erase To The Left) with Everson Mono.

    The customizer service is top notch! I love the set that I got. Good luck everyone!
