About
00keys (pronounced Double Loki’s or Double-oh keys) designs and manufactures custom keycaps for your mechanical keyboards.
Each set of designs that we create first goes through an ‘interest check’ (IC) phase. This is where fans can give their thoughts and feedback on whats being offered. Only the most popular designs will make grade.
With enough interest, a ‘group buy’ (GB) is held where a everyone pools together their orders so a large quantity of keys can be made. This allows us to sell our keycaps for a cheap as possible.
How Group Buys Work
A group buy is when a collective group of people rally around a desired product and commit to purchasing that product. Entrusting their money for said product to the Group Buy leader/organizer. After the GB ordering phase is complete, and all funds are collected, the Group Buy Organizer then goes to the manufacturer and places an order and pays for the product(s). After an appropriate lead time for production, the product(s) ship from the manufacturer to the organizer. So begins the shipping phase, and the Group Buy Organizer packs each order and then sends them out to the individuals who are participating in the group buy.
Essentially Group Buying is a form of crowd funding like Kickstarter or Go Fund Me, but typically on a smaller scale and for less overall cost to each participant.
Group buys are not for people who expect instant gratification (please see Amazon, or Walmart.com for that, but don’t expect custom generated products like this). Furthermore, in the case of these keycap group buys, it is mostly about creating something new that has never existed before and putting it into the hands of fans to enjoy while gaming/computing experience at a relatively affordable price for all.
To put all of this in perspective, if a person were to buy 5 of one of the key designs we have available in our group buys, it would cost $45 flat up front cost to create the mold for the keycap. Then, let’s say that person only wants 5 keycaps to be made. The cost is $25 each + the $45 mold fee. That comes to a total of $170.00 to make 5 keycaps.
The most current group buy is trying to get an upwards of 3,000 keycaps produced and thus driving the cost lower for everyone.
