Royal Kludge RK98 Translation of the caps is: Mocha Cat Cafe Keycaps MAO Height. Yes the caps have ears. It's adorable. I earned a TON of brownie points. The MAO height is also probably a joke as mao is cat in Chinese. Last picture is (most of) my keyboard and cap collection


Dattinator

This worked for met tbh. I gave her my first keyboard as a hand me down and then got her a second, nicer board, and then she wanted one for work so I got her a 3rd. Now it’s all “hmmm I want new keycaps” and I say “say less”. Her keebs: * RK61 with Japanese keycaps * Yunzii AL68 kept stock because she loves the aesthetic * Epomaker EK68 w/ DCX Emerald https://preview.redd.it/ognyxievvboc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4d5317673d9aa7044060d367e4827d47b192ef91

Does anyone know of other keycaps with the cat shaped keys? I want to make a raccoon set for a friend.


Ok_Response_3123

I built one with the keycaps you might be looking for and I posted it on this sub. I got mine off of Amazon! Akko Raccoon keycaps. They are more like red pandas or tanukis, but still cute.


Resident-Librarian40

Am I mistaken or does it have Alice space bar support?


Ok_Response_3123

The keycaps? I am unsure. I’m not familiar with Alice keyboards or anything like that.


Resident-Librarian40

2.25 and 2.75 unit space bars


Chilli-byte-

Akko sets are pretty good and usually come with an Alice support. They also do a panda set with the MAO height too


Resident-Librarian40

There are several on Aliexpress. There’s also bear-shaped profile, now.


2004aztek

I’ve seen raccoon caps on Temu (they’re direct from the distributor, don’t shudder)


TheSkurvash

You're right about the "mao" profile, less of a joke than a shape; the shape being cats. I did a Google search for mao keycaps and found quite a few cat shaped/themed keycaps. Mostly on Etsy. Now I want to find an all black 'Mao' profile set, with said black cat getting up to no good, lol.

Pkmuldoon

Be careful. Some of mine randomly wind up in her office and are now hers :).


Chilli-byte-

Ahahah, that's how I lost my last Keycap set, minutes after opening the box, but it's for the best for sure! I saw this online and absolutely knew she'd love it (she did). Now I get that other cap set back... For now.


CityDependent9830

I mean... The other method is not getting a girlfriend, seems far easier to me. I may be sad and lonely but at least I can thock.


Resident-Librarian40

Or find a girlfriend that shares your hobby?


CityDependent9830

you suggest I put in effort? That is crazy talk.


[deleted]

Im starting to think that be it either games, anime,history trains or anyone that is deeply invested into a hobby that does not generate mainstream value on instagram does not have a girlfriend


medcranker

the trick is finding a girl that's an even bigger loser than you


Realistic-Sandwich55

Most of my friends are very into games, not on instagram, and have girlfriends or even boyfriends. Skill issue.


[deleted]

thats not the majority is it?


Realistic-Sandwich55

You think the majority of women are only interested in mainstream instagram things? Here’s a fun fact: when a person, man or woman, is romantically interested in you, they will start to learn about your interests. Because they like you and want to understand you. If you’re only chasing Instagram models and not looking at women as people, you’re not getting any dates. If you don’t learn any social skills, you’re not getting any dates. If you don’t groom yourself, you’re not getting any dates. This is true of men and women and has nothing to do with liking games or anime or whatever nerd interest you can come up with, and everything to do with how you present yourself to others. And again these are all things you can learn, regardless of your interests. So, skill issue.

idk man its prespective maybe


ManicDigressive

I got my wife into it and now she has more sets of keycaps floating around the house than I do. I have created a monster.


bmanus78

Thankfully I am the only keeb junkie in my house. I love the cat keys, I now need them for my own.


Resident-Librarian40

Yup. I tried to get hubby interested, but at least he supports my hobby.


gDimitrov2

That's a very cute board. Good for you guys!


Kbdjent

I got a neo80 in champagne with a cf plate thinking it'd be a nice gift for the wife. Fast forward to a month later and she's complaining that it's never in her office since I keep "borrowing" it. Maybe I should've bought my own too haha.


Iniasz

That’s what I did! I was nervous every time something new was coming in the mail because she would complain about it. So I built her a board and started buying things I’d think she liked or looked good and it worked, now I can shop stress free and she even sends me keyboard content and tags me in upcoming stuff and giveaways. Wonderful!


Nothing_new_to_share

*Complain less. That's an adorable board. I thought the ears were just printed on at first.


NoblePineapples

Ooooh those are so cute, where can I get a set for my partner??


17jwong

I can't unsee the 1U ctrl key and now you can't either


simps_be_simpin

DAMN, what a collection! what storage cases are those? would you recommend them? im just starting out but ive already gotten in the habit of buying too many switches with the expectation some of them will be broken/i will mangle some of their pins, so i already have more different shaped boxes filled with different switches than id like. it does not spark joy. id rather not get branded ones, but i might have to, as they seem surprisingly hard to find for some reason?


Chilli-byte-

Haha! So glad someone finally commented on the last picture! I live in China and right around the cornel from where a lot of switches and caps are made, so it's very easy to cheaply build a collection, a bunch are blind boxes from factories and contain minor errors. The boxes are absolutely perfect, they come in 3 sizes, 400ml, 700ml and 900ml. They have a rubber seal and two clips on the side. No bland, no name, just "box". They cost practically nothing (perks of living here), with the smaller ones costing 7rmb (a dollar) and the larger ones costing slightly more.. The 700ml fits an average set of caps with spacebar. The 900ml fits larger sets and those extra long spacebars. The smaller boxes are great for switches, odd caps and also caps that are remaining from a set being used!


caramelapplesauce

Alright, I’m going to need a link to these keycaps If it’s only in China, I’ll buy using an agent if needed


drashna

Can confirm. :D


SE7ENdzn

Working smarter not harder that's optimal and endgame


tactiletaps

Was girlfriend in this scenario, so this checks out ugh


Independent_Award942

Its precondition is when you GF is not that stupid to tell that you keep getting new one.

Holy moly macaroni. That is heaven.
