Hi u/everyone
This is a mini group buy open for only 48 hours. Shipping starts after 40 business days. The Patisserie Tales is a small, fully handmade artisan keycap series inspired by the soft nostalgia of old neighborhood bakeries, real desserts, real memories, never mass-produced. Each keycap is individually hand-cast in resin, then colored layer by layer, slowly and with intention.
For collectors who value craft and story, we’re opening a short two day mini group-buy. Once it closes, the design will not be reproduced. As a small thank you to collectors, every purchased keycap includes one random resin display plate, selected from four designs. Thoughtfully made, genuinely limited, and quietly special.-
I always thought these kind of keys looked cool. Especially the resin ones that have “stuff” in them. But are they functional? Like can you really type with them? I have a mechanical keyboard that spent a lot of time and money with switches, o-rings, lube, special south-facing shine through keycaps, and probably several hundred hours coding in QMK. And then duplicated so I have one at home and work. But I probably spend 80-100 hours a week (work and play) in front of my keyboards so they have to be functional first. I was curious if anyone actually types on these.
Having bought some novelty/artisan keycaps, I'd say my main problem is that they don't match my other keycaps. They'll be too tall, too short, the plane is at a slight angle compared to the other keycaps, etc. It's a shame; if only they came in the exact same dimensions as my other keycaps they would look so cool. But to me they feel a little funny to type on when one of my keys is noticeably a different height/angle/etc to my other keys.
Yeah the height difference would bug the snot outta me.
