Description

Compatible keycap for Logitech GL (different to Kailh choc) found on Keyboards like the Logitech G915 or G815.

To make this a fully functional print emboss the letter you need. You might need to play with thickness or resin mixture. If you don't have a sample card you could use this design (comes with openSCAD version for customization): https://github.com/TylorKing/3D/tree/master/files/Creditcard_sized_material_swatch

Versions
There are two versions of this file:

  • ...-noText: blank keycap with a 30mm diameter (15mm radius) for the curve.
  • ...-noText-60mm: blank keycap with a 60mm diameter (30mm radius) for the curve which is closer to the original Logitech keycap design.

Importance of choosing the right resin
Standard, eco, or normal water washable resin are relatively brittle materials creating the risk of breaking the keycap's leg which would get stuck in the switch (can be fixed if it happens).
With this in mind try ABS-like, though resin, etc., and print 1 keycap you purposely break (in your hand, not in the keyboard) to understand if the material is suitable. Don't skip this step!

Licence
The current licence allows remixing but prohibits commercial use. In case you want to use this for commercial purposes (or anything else which isn't allowed by this licence) write me a message explaining the situation/purpose and I might change it.

Why is this even needed?
Even in 2021 no right to repair law has passed legislation.
Combine this with anti repair companies like Logitech which don't sell/provide any replacement parts (I asked before creating this file) and want that your $200 keyboard with 1 missing keycap is e-waste it becomes clear why parts/files like this are still needed.

Btw. Even better consider reparability before committing to purchase an expensive keyboard.
