Mechanical Keyboards

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

it's obviously the second notch on the scale "don't panic" to "panic"

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.

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.
