"To own a Razer Artisan Keycap is to display one’s allegiance, a mark of belonging within the cult of Razer,"
or the mark of someone with a 3D printer and 9 cents of plastic.
Still, you'd need a pretty good 3D printer to get that much detail in such a small object, right?
Yes, but you’d have to start with wanting to print something as dumb and ugly as this.
The cheapest resin printer can do this easily.
Even the cheapest Resin printers could do this. FDM printers definitely not.
Resin printers are a big health hazard though, I developed epoxy contact allergy from exposure to the rosin, even though I was careful with always wearing PPE
PPE for those resins isn't a pair of gloves and a paper mask, it is a full cover splash apron and a full face respirator that is rated for organic chemical gas. The fumes getting on your skin or trapped in mucous membranes like the lungs and eyes that causes it, direct spills just accelerate the process.

Well obviously you were not wearing PPE and let your skin touch the uncured resin, but I agree the toxicity of resins is vastly understated by the industry.

Doesn't seem that outlandish for a resin printer.

Why would you want to declare your allegiance to some of the most shitty and overpriced gaming hardware on the market?
Razer, you could've just released the keycap and been like "Hey look, fancy handmade snake keycap :)"
there was no need to release a PR statement where you verbally suck yourself off. Calling your brand a "cult" is not the good look you think it is.
The Death Adder was objectively a damn fine mouse. So why do I not recommend it? Because of the software that requires an online account to change settings.
Also, if I wanted "artisanal keycaps" I'd go on etsy and buy from actual artists.
It is odd when companies behave like monopolies when they aren't. Cisco is another one but they just have those weird niche audiences that buy into it
There's a FOSS reimplementation of the Razer configuration software on Linux. Openrazer is the driver package and polychromatic is the GUI to configure it
Dont worry. It's Razer, so you'll only have to deal with it for 3 months until it breaks.
That quote turns a neat little thing into a joke.
The price makes it an insult
I've seen some crazily priced keycaps for what was basically someone dropping some 3d prints into epoxy. There's a market for it.

All Razer does is make overpriced trash so this fits right in with the rest of the lineup.

'a mark of belonging within the Cult of Razer'
For anyone interested in this, they sell red flags at Home Depot for a lot cheaper.
Worst quality headsets ever with massive bloatware for a software package to install drivers and RGB controls. They used to have decent gaming mice, but now so many other companies make equal or better there’s no reason at all to buy a Razer.

"Artisan"
Nothing says artisan like a mass produced piece of plastic stamped out of a mold by the thousand.
Everyone with a 3d printer is pissing themselves rn
I have two questions:
- Where can I find the .stl?
- Who wants one in which colors?
Bahahaha that’s was my first thought. Fuck this I’ll print it in resin and it’ll be damn near identical.

Outside of razer making garbage quality accessories: who the fuck would put that on F12?
When does anyone even press F12? Obviously this thing should go on the escape key.
You helped me figure it out, if you actually press it it will just break in 6 months so this makes it seem higher quality as you constantly cycle it between keyboards
It is the default screenshot key for Steam, so many use it often for that.

When I think of razer what comes to mind is overpriced peripherals that break and have annoying software to set them up.
I prefer qmk supported keyboards so I can use via or vial to setup my keyboard.

No I do not want to spend that much money to display allegiance to this shit company.
I have owned several razer products, mostly mice and they have all been utter overpriced hype garbage.
Only thing good was that they had a good selection of large ambidextrous mice. No idea if that is still the case
mine has the scroll wheel just jumping all over the place whenever I try to scroll. Only two months old

90 usd? For a keycap?
Grift. Con. Bullshit. Shenanigans.
Cult.
🐍
Don't type on me
No Pressa Snek
It is a mark of belonging to a cult, alright...
How to make money off of mentally ill rich kids I guess
i mean it is cool, but its nowhere near $90 cool
Marketing being stupid again. But it's just an artisan keycap, they usually do cozt around this price, I find them neat 😅
Looks mid tbh.
If I could make these, I'd try to make the snake eyes glow via backlight.
