any of you heard resin keycap?

there is no entire set. He only sells some key, such as space bar, return key etc.

but take a closer look, he's at etsy, and many items are sold out w/ a pile of 5 star reviews. I'm guessing those who buy are Gamestop shareholders😆
 
Kudos to the people who make them, and lol to the people who actually buy them. (at those prices anyway)
 
see I can take out the ESC key easily. But I don't know how to remove the space bar or the return key. I try that once, it does not land back properly, fortunately that was my older mechanical keyboard and I return it under warranty. So even if the above is free, I can't use it

But if you go to Etsy, there are a huge no. of creators who make a garden variety of resin keycap, some are artistric, some are r-rated, some are 3D key (1 inch. tall)
 
It's not for an entire set, its usually for accent keys. You buy a spacebar, or escape, or shift, or whatever. Some of them are entire mini dioramas.

I actually spent about $25 on a neat looking resin spacebar, but it wasn't made correctly and didn't quite fit my 6.25u (standard) spacebar size. So I sent it back.

There's also metal keycaps, alloy keycaps, wooden keycaps and rubberized keycaps.

who did you buy yours from? is it Etsy?

What's the trick to get that space bar off a mechanical keyboard?

I'm looking for a youtube video to guide me
 
Yeah, etsy is where I got mine. My current keycap set is from amazon though I have a few custom keys shipping my way from AliExpress. Expecting to see them sometime this year, maybe. 🤣

I bought a cheap but decent keycap puller. I put o rings on all of my keycaps for shorter travel distance.

If you don't want to scratch your keycaps when you remove them I STRONGLY reccomend getting a wire type keycap puller. The plastic ones scratch the caps.
 
I have a very similar keycap puller.

how do you order from AliExpress? do they take credit card?

do you have problem re-sit the resin new key for big key like spacebar or return key?
 
No problems at all with my keyboard, but I have a keyboard that makes hot swapping relatively easy.

AliExpress does take credit cards, but I used paypal so they didn't have direct access to my credit card number.
 
Seconded on get a wire-type keycap puller! It makes life so much easier.
