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 @Djeikup@lemmy.world 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!

      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:

      • Go to your creations using this link, or by clicking the user icon in the top right
      • Click the set you want to edit
      • Click the “customize” button
      • Update the code in your comment

      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

    My code: YUZKC8

    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.

    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!

      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)

    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!
