Thockfactory is an online store with an intuitive custom keycap configurator. Pick your layout, design your keycaps with full control over colors, legends, and icons. Once you’re happy with your design, you can directly order your custom keycaps.
I'm Emil, a software engineer and keyboard enthusiast from Germany. After getting frustrated that I couldn't find any keycap sets that met my needs AND that I liked visually, I created Thockfactory – an online store with a built-in custom keycaps configurator that lets you design and directly order your own sets.
I first had the idea for Thockfactory in 2022 and after some initial procrastination, I started developing a prototype as a passion project in 2023. Since I figured I couldn't be the only one interested in fully custom keycaps with my own unique design, I made this first version public in April 2024.
The response was pretty positive, but after running it for a few months, I realized that the configurator and overall experience still needed a lot of work. I took the entire shop down and spent almost a year rebuilding everything from scratch and finding better manufacturing partners to improve the quality of the keycaps.
Now Thockfactory is back, fully redesigned and optimized! You can customize and order your own dye-sublimated keycap sets using our intuitive online configurator, with full control over the layout, legends, colors and much more.
Would love for you to try it out, play with the configurator and let me know any feedback or suggestions. I'm happy to answer questions about the tech stack, manufacturing, or pretty much anything.
