Official nominees:
KeyKollectiv x Booper | Kosmonavt
Kosmonavt, a collaboration between two impressive shops, is intended to convey a "lost in space" theme. Making a keycap with resin immersed items is difficult, but this artisan is something unique. A three step process consisting of five silicone molds and 18 to 24 hours is necessary when bringing Kosmonavts to (un)death. Teasers and hints released by the team promoted the caps' bleak atmosphere (or lack thereof).
Is impressive outcome for first official artisan collaboration, da?
eat_the_food | Fugu
Eat_the_food stormed into the artisan market with an unprecedented level of quality and output. Puffer fish, or Fugu, is a dangerous Japanese delicacy. Poorly prepared Fugu contains tetrodotoxin, a poison which operates like Sarin and other nerve agents. While eating a keycap might be safe, it certainly isn't recommended. The keycaps are, however, likely to kill your wallet.
Bite me.
Clack Factory | Flux Keypacitor
Technology keeps getting smaller and more power efficient. Doc would be proud to know that his flux capacitor has been adapted to the latest tritium glow vial technology. Let's travel back now! Just hammer out 88 WPM and provide your keyboard 1.2e-10 gigawatts to get things rolling.
Are you telling me that this sucker is NUCLEAR?
Key Kollective | Fruit Reboot
The Kollective revisited its Snackeys series to revitalize an amazing product. One can almost taste the fruits of their labor. The convincing colorways and easy to use form factor make the Snackeys a healthy alternative to less ergonomic keycaps.
Please don't get bent-outta shape about the blanks in the bottom right hand corner.
Jelly Key | ?
Sticking a galaxy inside a keycap is no small matter, but Jelly Key somehow does it. The fact that Jelly references artists, dreams, and other creative forces turns his website into a monolith that would stymie Dave.
The thing’s hollow -- it goes on forever -- and -- oh my God! -- it’s full of stars!
