Many keycap fans have lots of keycap sets for collection, they need keyboards to carry them if they want to show off, but it’s not practical, because we can’t put 3 keyboards on our table all the time, so I designed keycap frame... If people interest in them, I hope we can start a drop on massdrop!
Now we have:
TWO different size frame for Num set and TKL87 set, maybe have 60% or Ergodox size if necessary.
TWO different wood colours dark and light
TWO different backgrand fabrics colours black and white.

I like the idea of the frame but for many of my keyboards the frame would have to be quite a bit larger which then becomes unpractical.

I like this idea, but the implementation seems somewhat rigid. For instance, it doesn't look like I could put the numpad, novelties, or ISO kit in the same frame. And that means keeping track of the base set on the wall, along with bags of the extras in a drawer somewhere.
If you're concerned about weight, there are tons of framing options out there from which to choose.
Also, distressed wood doesn't seem like the ideal look for most sets that I can think of.
But whatever you do, please don't give up on the idea!

Maybe a rectangular 10x15 perforated grid with holes where you can screw somo MX-stem compatible "pins" in the configuration you want. That would be compatible with almost any configuration I can think right know. Even the more complex ones.

A plausible and quite on point design feature for the ABS caps - that shine and yellow.Wodan wrote: ↑Maybe find some UV-proof glass to protect your keycaps from yellowing
It's quite easy to implement indeed.

Sometimes the simplest of ideas can be the greatest. This is a cool product considering the number of keyboard enthusiasts out there. I was going through my collection of boxed keyboards the other day wondering how I might better enjoy them and I think I have an idea now

Sometimes I think that our community has gone too far... Then I see something like this and realize that we are still somewhat stable. I mean how else would I decorate my house, office, car,...

This gives me an idea ... after admiring keycaps in a frame, surely the next logical step ... how about a public exhibition, with keycaps in frames like that, but also mounted on their switches, so they can still be pressed. And people visiting would have to pay a certain sum to push a keycap, and feel the switch ...

Love this idea -- even though I collect mainly Alps boards, I can see myself buying a great looking Cherry keyset just so I could decorate my wall like that! Can't wait to see the pricing.
