You could try doing a resin pour and a mold. It might be less expensive. Then its just a matter of practice :)

Update: Since this is receiving so much interest, I went ahead and put up a raffle. If you go to my profile, there is a link called "Raffle Form"
No pressure ;)

You're about to get shadow banned for leaving not including weird ancillary items
On a more serious note, this is maybe the best aesthetic I have seen on this sub. Good shit!

Not sure if I like the wrist rest or keyboard more. But both look amazing.

Not a fan of typing on them. They look neat, though.

We'll, technically I ruined the paper. Lol. I ripped it in little pieces, then burnt the edges. It's all in epoxy resin and is layered in there.

Oh wow. Yeah. That's a lot. I use Pirate Ship. And it usually is right around $35. Except Australia, which is closer to a million.

Reply to comment by Mr-Barbie in I decided to use a chess rating system to rank switches from some sample packs. Here are the results for tactiles after a couple of rounds! Overkill? Definitely. by b3ing0fsound
Thanks for sharing your process! I really appreciate the suggestions on varying press speed and force curves. I'll start incorporating the former into future rounds.
I'd definitely like to get a dedicated testing setup, as I'm currently just using my first board, which is a triple mode EP-75—I wanted wireless for couch gaming and 2.4ghz dongle for interacting with GRUB—that came with Gateron Yellows. I imagine location on the board could introduce more variability than location on a tester, particularly given my board has batteries that may change the sound for certain groups of keys.
I also only have one switch of each type, which makes it impossible to quantify intra-switch-type variability. Maybe I got a flawed version of a particular switch, but without replication there's no way to know.
All of that aside, in the end I'm still just trying to find a switch that I'll probably like. The proof will be using it on an entire board for a bit, and then trying a different switch on the entire board, and then another one... Already having fun with the hobby, I suppose.

That's very well done! Do you happen to have more details or the build? Like how you made the paper look old without ruining it, and how you managed to have them layered like that..

The fact you can offer international shipping at 35 USD for a wristrest which is semi heavy. Makes the fact KeebsForAll charging 60+ for just keycap shipping even more outragious.

Thats just too expensive :(
Edit: its too expensive because of the shipping and taxes. The price for the wristrest itself is good.

Aw that's too bad! This one would cost $125 USD. Then international shipping is usually right around $35USD.

You live in the US :( so high shipping cost and tax for me.
How much are you asking for such a wristrest (if you dont mind me asking)?

Check out Keychron.

They're a Chinese company, so you should be able to order them online for shipping to Australia.
These keyboards run QMK/VIA. I think there may be community VIAL builds.
The other option is to keep your existing keyboard and buy a programmable macro pad.

Wrist rest making is an expensive hobby. I promise you I don't profit. I just enjoy making them and sharing them with the MK community.
