I for one wouldn't waste money on something so pointless. Cute little idea, but it won't be making anybody a millionaire.

I think he actually missed the point. He probably thought you were hoping to make money this way, instead of what I'm reading, which is a group buy to end up getting them cheaper.

Oh my gosh, ah Pylon or Probe button would be so cute

))

but i guess it would be a bit too much money for me to order it from Australia, cause it is like a cute accessoir but not really a necessity ;;

Awesome thank you for the feedback - still thinking about costs so that helps :D

It's not even that either - I'm just looking to see if there would be a market for it. I'm assuming it would be small, and I'm not trying to make money at all, just wondering, because I can talk to some people. Hopefully it would help support esports a little

Resurrecting this thread after I just purchased my TL keycap -- I would totally be interested in purchasing other custom keycaps of this sort.You noted "skill" in the thread title -- what about like league symbols (Bronze - Grandmaster)? That would be pretty fun.

I'd be very interested. If you do go ahead with it, people would buy it for the novelty factor alone.

This is very interesting... It would be very nice if WASD could split up an order and send to multiple locations on their custom keycaps. If we assembled 20 or so people willing to pay for the same mass order, I'd bet they give us a discount similar to the mass purchase one they have already.

The other option is one person having WASD make a bunch and then reselling/reshipping which I assume they would hate.

I'd love a keycap for T (stim) for Terran. I would surely buy it.

I made some of these myself when customizing my DT-35 - my E key is a probe, my T key is the storm icon, etc. They're all raised up on plastic I applied so I can feel them, except for F because it has a bump on it. I have "3d" icons on my number keys as well, for my control group scheme. If anyone wanted to do something similar DIY, I could help, I rearranged the hell out of my keys and with tin snips, a sheet of thin plastic, super glue, and some other stuff I bought online (including extra blank keys with a bump (like F, J, and numpad 5) and a sheet of SC2 icon stickers) added pictures of units/abilities that I can feel the difference between without looking at the keyboard. It has actually helped me to be a lot faster, because all of the important keys have a specific "feel" from the shape of the icon on top. It looks cool, too.

I don't want to crash the party, but, if you're looking at your keyboard, or otherwise spending any time and thought on what button to push instead of doing it absolutely from memory, you're sucking. I'm into customization and aesthetics, and support custom keycaps on that front as an enthusiast. But keycaps as having the potential to enhance your SC2 play is definitely invalid. Seeing people get excited for having a probe key or a storm key is cute, but misguided, as I'm pretty sure that their brain will always be thinking "p" or "t" because that's the way we interface with the entire keyboard, and it has already been ingrained in how we game with it. You won't have time to notice and appreciate the caps in game, and I doubt that a real-world observer is ever going to stare at your special key with anticipation.

It's funner as an idea than a thing scrutinized, let alone invested in.
