frequently asked questions
when are new artisans released?
i release new keycaps in monthly drops on my website (lavenderbeecaps.com). exact dates are announced ahead of time on instagram and discord. drops are always first come, first serve. each month features different lbc sculpts in up to 3 unique colorways.
what switches do your keycaps fit?
all of my keycaps are compatible with standard cherry mx-style switches.
do you ever rerun colorways?
sometimes! i love hearing your feedback and requests, especially in my discord server. if there’s a lot of community interest in a past design, i may bring it back for a limited rerun. that said, i usually prefer exploring new creative directions, so reruns don’t happen often. they depend on demand, timing, and whether the design still fits with my current creative direction. if there’s something you’d like to see return, the best way to let me know is by sharing your thoughts!
do you accept custom orders or commissions?
not at this time. creating a brand new sculpt from scratch can take weeks or months, so one-off customs aren’t feasible. however, i’m always open to suggestions for new ideas or colorways! if a design gets enough interest, i may turn it into a group sale.
do you ship internationally?
yes, i ship worldwide! shipping costs and estimated delivery times are calculated at checkout. please note that international buyers are responsible for customs fees or import taxes.
what materials do you use?
all keycaps are handmade with high-quality urethane resin and specialized pigments. every piece is individually cast, so slight differences in glitter placement, color mixing, or finish are normal and part of the handmade charm.
what are b-grade keycaps?
b-grade keycaps have small cosmetic imperfections such as tiny bubbles, dust specks, or uneven pigment. these flaws are minor and don’t affect usability. b-grades are discounted (usually $5–$15 usd off depending on the severity of the flaw) and are listed in the shop or sold at in-person markets when available.
do you offer returns or refunds?
all sales are final since every artisan is handmade in small batches. if there’s a problem with your order, please reach out on discord or instagram — i’ll do my best to help.
what is the osume affiliate offer?
i’m partnered with osumekeys and sometimes host raffles for earlybird passes during high-demand drops. to enter, place a $90+ usd order on osume’s website using my affiliate link + code:
🔗 osume.com/lavenderbeecaps (code lavenderbeecaps auto-applies with the link — it’s 0% off, but helps me track entries). the earlybird raffle link + form will always be shared in my instagram bio when active.
winners (usually 12 per raffle) receive a unique password to shop my site 24 hours before the official drop. this helps ensure fairness and stock availability.
details:
- $90 minimum does not include shipping
- you can choose which month’s raffle to enter (if offered)
- each order may only be entered once (whether you win or not)
- previously half-redeemed osume orders are not valid
- winners are notified by email, and earlybird passes are only valid for that month’s drop
how it works:
when a raffle is active, fill out the 🎲 earlybird draw form linked in my instagram bio. once entries close, winners will get their password by email.
