I'm not sure I should endorse this paper keycap, but no doubt it's a formidable achievement committed by PykeTheTitan which needs to be recorded for history.
A keycap made of 73 sheets of printer paper…
The Keycap is 73 sheets of paper thick. I used a layer of elmers glue between every layer to harden the paper. My eventual goal is to build a full keycap set from paper and then a case to essential have a paper keyboard other than switches and other interior parts PykeTheTitan.
According to the perpetrator, this prototype was a little rough in terms of measurements and he will refine the process with better measuring tools.
The whole keyboard will take a while but "it will be very fun".
