Why would you want to declare your allegiance to some of the most shitty and overpriced gaming hardware on the market?

This will sell out instantly
Dont worry. It's Razer, so you'll only have to deal with it for 3 months until it breaks.
Marketing: "oooooh smoke and mirrors! Cloak and dagger! More smoke, very mysterious you'll feel muhahahaaaa!" throwing things into a boiling kettle
Target audience: mfr the planet is on fire and big brother is watching, wtf are you talking about?
The Death Adder was objectively a damn fine mouse. So why do I not recommend it? Because of the software that requires an online account to change settings.
Also, if I wanted "artisanal keycaps" I'd go on etsy and buy from actual artists.
There's a FOSS reimplementation of the Razer configuration software on Linux. Openrazer is the driver package and polychromatic is the GUI to configure it
"To own a Razer Artisan Keycap is to display one’s allegiance, a mark of belonging within the cult of Razer,"
or the mark of someone with a 3D printer.
Still, you'd need a pretty good 3D printer to get that much detail in such a small object, right?
The cheapest resin printer can do this easily.
Yes, but you’d have to start with wanting to print something as dumb and ugly as this.
No.
You can do it with a $200 printer using a smaller nozzle.
Doesn't seem that outlandish for a resin printer.

Not even if it was free would I want this.
But what if it was a clitoris?
'a mark of belonging within the Cult of Razer'
For anyone interested in this, they sell red flags at Home Depot for a lot cheaper.
No I do not want to spend that much money to display allegiance to this shit company.
Razer, you could've just released the keycap and been like "Hey look, fancy handmade snake keycap :)"
there was no need to release a PR statement where you verbally suck yourself off. Calling your brand a "cult" is not the good look you think it is.
90 usd? For a keycap?
Grift. Con. Bullshit. Shenanigans.
Cult.
That quote turns a neat little thing into a joke.
The price makes it an insult
I've seen some crazily priced keycaps for what was basically someone dropping some 3d prints into epoxy. There's a market for it.

"Artisan"
Nothing says artisan like a mass produced piece of plastic stamped out of a mold by the thousand.
It is a mark of belonging to a cult, alright...
I will never understand keyboard hobbyists and the obsession over keycaps.
All you need is a good keyboard that does its job well, and is repairable.
When I think of razer what comes to mind is overpriced peripherals that break and have annoying software to set them up.
I prefer qmk supported keyboards so I can use via or vial to setup my keyboard.

Worst quality headsets ever with massive bloatware for a software package to install drivers and RGB controls. They used to have decent gaming mice, but now so many other companies make equal or better there’s no reason at all to buy a Razer.

I have owned several razer products, mostly mice and they have all been utter overpriced hype garbage.
Only thing good was that they had a good selection of large ambidextrous mice. No idea if that is still the case
mine has the scroll wheel just jumping all over the place whenever I try to scroll. Only two months old

Everyone with a 3d printer is pissing themselves rn
How to make money off of mentally ill rich kids I guess
I have two questions:
- Where can I find the .stl?
- Who wants one in which colors?

All Razer does is make overpriced trash so this fits right in with the rest of the lineup.

Marketing being stupid again. But it's just an artisan keycap, they usually do cozt around this price, I find them neat 😅
Outside of razer making garbage quality accessories: who the fuck would put that on F12?
When does anyone even press F12? Obviously this thing should go on the escape key.
It is the default screenshot key for Steam, so many use it often for that.
For when you want to "hack" websites.

Looks mid tbh.
If I could make these, I'd try to make the snake eyes glow via backlight.
