Description

 

When designing my split keyboard, I wanted it to sound and feel great even with 3D printed keycaps. That’s why I made these THOCKY keycaps for mechanical switches with a standard Cherry MX stem.

They sound surprisingly good for 3D printed caps and have perfect tolerances so they fit on the switch “just right.”

Key Features

  • Dialed-in ironing for a super smooth top surface
  • Deep, thocky sound (no hollow clank)
  • Perfect fit for Cherry MX stem switches
  • Included STEP files for easy customization


Why They Sound Better

To get that signature thock, I made these caps as thicc as possible: extra wall thickness, reinforced top, and inner chamfers that add mass and deepen the sound.

Here’s the difference:

  • Left: Standard lightweight 3D printed keycap → clanky, hollow sound
  • Right: My THOCKY keycap → dense, solid, and thocky

For ironing, these are the settings I use for a smooth top finish. This is very dependent on filament and machine, so I recommend first test-printing one keycap to see how the top surface comes out. If necessary, adjust the settings (I suggest raising or lowering ironing flow by 3–5%.)

 

The print profile contains one blank and one homing keycap, printing is without supports 
Enjoy!
