Questions

Is this real?+

The auction is live in Stripe test mode. 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?+

A 20% deposit (minimum $10) in USD on Stripe when you bid, refunded if you’re outbid, refused, or the charge is reversed. The thank-you page is not confirmation — Stripe’s webhook is. Marks stay off the keyboard until I approve them. Winners pay the remaining 80% by invoice. 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.
