NEWS – This one is for my fellow keeb nerds. This is a keycap by VirtuoKeys and it’s beautiful. It also has a brain shattering price tag, but let’s talk about the Vintage TLR Camera Keycap first. It’s made of titanium and resembles a twin-lens reflex camera down to two lenses!
We invested significantly in custom fabrication, with the outer layer featuring two ultra-thin 4mm quartz optical glass lenses, and the inner layer consisting of two 3mm custom aspheric ultra-transparent optical coated lenses. This design not only enhances light transmission but also significantly improves the clarity of light.
From the outside, the reflections of the two lenses under light differ, with the upper lens reflecting a golden-green hue and the lower lens reflecting a deep blue.
The Vintage TLR Camera Keycap is available in different styles on the VirtuoKeys Etsy shop. The price… hold on to your stabilizers… starts at $272.35 and goes up to $597.35 for the Sakura titanium version. That’s for one keycap! Go get a second mortgage and head over to the VirtuoKeys Etsy shop for more info.

I really wonder what the market looks like for these very high end bespoke keycaps — I’ve paid a bit for some custom resin caps (maybe in the $15-20 range?) and thought I was being pretty extravagant, but nothing even remotely approaching these! They’re very pretty though!
No thanks. I’ll go play with my genuine Roliflex.
