Questions

Is this real?+

The auction is live. A paid deposit holds the key for review. Vinyl is printed only if you still hold that key when the clock ends.

Will I still be able to type?+

Mostly by muscle memory. The logo sits on the cap; a small original symbol stays in the bottom-right (⌘, ⌥, and the other named keys keep the icon only, not the word). Return and the arrows are left stock. Backlight on a branded key is still blocked.

What kind of logo works?+

A square icon for letter keys and the palm rests — we pull that from your site. Wide keys (spacebar, tab, both shifts, delete, caps) need a horizontal lockup: mark and name on one line, PNG or JPEG, transparent if you can. No exact pixel size.

How does payment work?+

20% of your bid now, or $10 if 20% would be less, in USD. Refunded if you’re outbid, refused, or the charge is reversed. Brand several keys with one form and one checkout — you still pay that deposit per key. The thank-you page is not confirmation — the payment webhook is. Marks stay off the keyboard until I approve them. If you still hold the key when the clock ends, you pay the rest of the bid by a second checkout. Vinyl is printed only if you win.

Can any brand join?+

Almost. I approve every mark by hand. It travels with me. Refused bids get the deposit back.

Are you affiliated with Apple?+

No. Brand My Mac Keycaps is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Apple Inc. MacBook and Mac are trademarks of Apple Inc.
