I don't know how someone in the community hasn't started selling single urushi topre keycaps. There's so many independent urushi artisans in the fountain pen community and they make mind blowing works of art.
Do you know how long one urushi keycap takes to make? Let alone one full set of caps? The amount you would have to charge would be prohibitively expensive for all but the most wealthy of keebheads. I would charge probably 1500 just for a set of custom urushi caps, and thats without any customization, like designs or patterns.
@@CryoftheProphet That's why I said single keycaps, like artisans I mean. And you act like topre stuff isn't expensive already lmao. People would pay 70-100 for an artisan urushi keycap no doubt.
@@rcbuggies57 Thats the thing with urushi, I can invest 3 weeks in one keycap, or a whole set. Its the time, not the number necessarily. Regular artisans only take a few hours, the process is different. But to spend weeks to make a single keycap, and then charge 100 bucks, its not worth it. Sure you could make a bunch, but when you factor in the time, its still going to be alot of work, not really worth it. I think it would be better to offer it as a service and then charge an insane amount for it because thats what it demands.
@@CryoftheProphet I don't think you get what I'm saying then. Full keycap sets are hard because you need to make every different profile and all, and you can't sell as many because not a ton of people will pay that much for a full set. I'm saying there is tons of people that buy 10-20 80$ artisan keycaps. Someone could easily make 200 of these at once and sell them as individual keycaps at whatever price would be necessary to make a profit.
@@rcbuggies57 The profiles dont matter, its the fact that it can take a month to make them all. Once you start looking at the time invested and comparing that with your margins, and the fact you would have to do it each and every month and hope there are thousands of topre users who want to buy them, I just dont think its a smart endeavor. Clearly Im not the only who thinks that because people arent really making them.
Theres were commissioned by my friend from a Japanese artist. They were no where near $1.7k. I really do like the feel. It's smooth but also very grippy!
@@BreathOfDust that is insane to me, I remember back when a stock topre without tuning was the gold standard of thocky keyboards. How the times have changed.
Haven’t clicked on anything faster in my life
Amazing silent and smooth sound
*saves this video into my favorites.*
