Resin holds what it's given. Metal that catches light, glass that lets it pass, color waiting in the dark for the moment it doesn't. This one folds cold cast, translucent, iridescent, and glow into a single pour.
As with all of our artisan keycaps, each cap is handmade and unique. Subtle differences may be present depending on the technique used.

Most people think the moon's just gray, and to the eye it basically is, but the surface actually holds real color, iron shows up orange, titanium shows up blue, it just takes the right processing to bring it out. Same idea with these weights, they start off plain yellow brass, and the patina is what brings out that same kind of mineral wash.
Patina work was new to me, and this whole batch was just fun to experiment with, dialing in the process and seeing what came out the other side. Tycho is a moon-inspired special edition of our Minerva keyboard, Beige paired with a hand-patinaed brass weight. Every weight is finished by hand, no two come out exactly alike.
In stock and ready to ship. First come first served, limited quantity, no restocks in this configuration.

What is the weight finish?
Each brass weight is hand-patinaed using a chemical process. No two come out exactly alike, but they all share the same family of color, orange and blue coming through as the brass oxidizes.
Does the patina change over time?
Yes. The weight is raw and uncoated. The patina will continue to shift and develop (very slowly) with handling and exposure, that's part of the piece, not a flaw. A protective coating add-on (+$29 USD) is available at checkout, which seals the patina with a clear satin lacquer.
Note: the coating may mute the depth and contrast of the raw finish, especially in the blues and purples.
What's included?
Switches, stabilizers, and keycaps are not included. Everything else is, see full kit contents on the product page.
