Looks clean, probably also the cheapest way to get a localized GMK set 😅

Clearly you knows tons about building keyboards THE HARD WAY (aka soldering diodes). Yeah, it was a very close call but I bet you you will never ever ever make this mistake again. I also bet you will use this as a teaching experience for others on this sub and elsewhere.

I managed to avoid that trap since this board mounts the controller upside-down. But I did end up buying a different controller so I wouldn't have to de-soldered the headers from the first I got

Built a lilly58 for my son. Managed to put both controllers on upside down.
That definitely no worky.

Keep in mind Space Cadet is emulating a very specific color of pale blue found on old Symbolics keyboards
It's definitely not going to "perform" if the goal is richness or intensity.

Sure, it is possible to do that, but it would be a bit complicated, and I would need to research it more. Thanks for the suggestion!

There's nothing wrong with 3D printed keycaps! My keycap is just made using a different method, with resin casting, which I find results in a more durable and vibrant product. Each method has its own unique advantages and I'm always exploring new techniques to create even better keycaps.

Now I wonder if you can use 2 miniature bearings to make it semi-functional.

>How does one make a keycap? Was it made a home or machined ?
Thanks for your interest in my keycap! To answer your question, this keycap is actually handmade using resin. The process involves creating a sculpt, making a silicone mold, and then pouring resin into the mold. It's not a 3D printed keycap that's painted like a lot of others out there. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Thanks for pointing that out. I appreciate your comment and suggestion, and will take it into consideration for future designs. Stay tuned for more cool keycaps to come!

I have bought Klein first! Very solid and bright! And it has very interesting effect because of transparency of top layer.
