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 @[email protected] 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!
PQBZPA - this is awesome! Best of luck to everyone

(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!
This is awesome! What a good way to get a community going as well :)

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!
You have a really good layout editor!

The customizer service is top notch! I love the set that I got. Good luck everyone!
nice to see you here man (of course you are!) and thanks for the kind words!! 🥰
Thanks for doing this! Is this the first official giveaway done on Lemmy? 8BVPXPN
hah I don't know, for this community it probably is!
FYI you pasted the code wrong (it's 7 characters long), I looked it up and it is actually 8BVXPN
Oops thanks for having my back haha!
YH4R3P - 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:
To edit your set to make those changes:
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.
Hey I guess I already have an account with you guys. Anyway thanks for doing this! A377VA
1DPXQQ this my code tho ill need some extra added things (i added a numrow to teh kyria so i can use this for my elora when it comes)
alright! you may want to customize this num row then don't you? also beware that some legends sometimes are too big for the key (Caps Lock / Backspace) so you'd want to fix that too
To edit your set to make those changes:
code and keycaps edited i changed some of the placements to my prefrences or what i think i want
hey small question can my font (custom norse bold font) be extended to my custom row? it just displays as the stock letters i would like that to be edited
would have also loved maybe black caps and lavender letters if its even possible
we can't make custom color legends unfortunately
custom fonts can be used anywhere yes, you may click on the keys to edit the font
DM me on discord (my username: kartsims) if you want more assistance
message sent
its tonkers and is it still a possibility to get black dsa instead of white?
BG24FX- Thanks

That is the layouter I was always looking for, to get keycaps for my heavily modified Neo-layout on a Moonlander keyboard.
I think, I will order it anyways, and hope to win the refund.
I ordered them and wow. Five days from order to my desk was amazingly fast. FedEx just rang my bell, and the keycaps are perfect. They have the much appreciated tactile hint under the index finger.
yay! we got it, thanks for your order :)

Too bad there's no keycap support for the Keychron K2's layout... Oh well, sick giveaway and cool site/keycap builder!
Best of luck to anyone entering!
edit: Never used a DSA profile but it does support the K2's layout on DSA. Tossed a code in that I made while playing around with the customizer tool.
oh right, for sculpted profile we don't have yet a wide range of options, and the R4 1.75u key is not available yet
you can however make one on a flat profile, our only option atm is DSA
I've added the Keychron K2 (which I have coincidentally received yesterday to make some tests, and was just testing some keycaps on when I read your message haha)
Cool! Thanks for getting back to me, I didn't expect to hear back, so that's sweet.
Personally, I've never used anything but cherry profile, but I've edited my comment with a DSA profile code. I'll keep an eye out for the expanded support range for cherry profile!

My layout for my Lily58, currently have a mishmash of keys that don't even let the RGB through...
I'll be crossing my fingers for you then!

Here's my code: 3JBWJV

Nice editor!

It has been a while since I visited the website, it's nice that there are more profiles to choose from now.

Will you be offering more colors?
Also, if you could somehow link up with Keyboard Layout Editor, that would be really cool!
KLE link is a feature that's been requested yes it's in the list thanks!
You may upvote it here: https://fkcaps.com/custom/support (I just added it)
Regarding colors, yes but it's a logistics issue at this point, we basically need to order a lot of keycaps to have enough color options

Are you planning to add an ISO enter button in the future?
(Edit. changed the code to one i made with the MDA profile)
there is one, but only available in MDA profile atm
So cool! I'll put a reminder in my calender to not forget participating 😅
Actually started designing some sets but always got carried away with options :D Maybe I should just go very simple for the first time...
Thank you for doing this, great way to kickstart the community :) also the website is nifty
