These are for an upcoming keyboard meetup in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. I'm annoyed that some of the tacos didn't infuse properly, but most of them came out okay.
Lasered some legends onto some blank keycaps. MOST of them came out alright.

Obviously it’s for the “Home” key because there isn’t any home like a Texas Home

I believe for the Norwegian layout they are functionally identical. 😂

It's for measuring other buttons.

The meetup was organized on the Texas Mechs Discord server. The HWDY keys are a custom tag they have there. They’re just “novelties” and people can put them anywhere they like. I imagine most of these will end up on a fidget toy or small macro pad, if not simply added to a collection or personal parts box.

Wait a second, did you laser colour? What kind of laser are you using?

So I used a diode laser, but with Cricut “infusible ink” markers, which are basically a form of dye sublimation. Heating up the specific spot enough to get transfer without bleeding is tough, though. I end up with less vibrant colors than I’d like, and this particular batch of blanks sometimes just doesn’t “take.” Mostly I end up with good detail and nice pastel colors that are on there better than paint or stickers, but not nearly as deep as proper dye sublimation.
