A duck.

Diver key?

Some great ideas here, for me it has to be something simple and not too intricate, remember that you can have a colour infill of black, white, red, blue, green or yellow

Would a hammer and sickle be popular?

There was a group buy for the exact same thing from SP about 2 months ago so probably won't be that popular tbh.

Skulls are definitely in, so why not a Jolly Roger?

Yeah I like that, might be a little too detailed for engraving though

Not sure if your joking, but GH just has 1300 of those made.

The flag stands for Japanese imperialism during WWII.
If you respected people in Korea, China, and other invaded countries, you shouldn't post this disgusting flag.

Apologies for the offense... I do know the history of the image, but found myself ignorant of the feelings surrounding it. My assumption was that it's common usage in sports, advertising, and the current Japanese military wouldn't be so prevalent if it was so hated, and strongly associated with WWII atrocities. There are MANY flags past and present which could rightfully be considered offensive to wronged parties, and I looked at modern prevalence as a hint. I was quite wrong.

Live and learn. Truly no offense was intended.

YOU ARE HERE

...but I can't see much of a market amongst keyboard collectors...

It is not safe to go alone. Take this red crowbar

Not sure whether you seriously propose that, especially after what has been explained about the Japanese flag.
Even if it is the other way round, of course you picture reminds of the Nazi symbol.
And is of course intended to.

And that's why in quite a lot of European countries, selling/buying/importing keycaps (or, for that matter, anything) with that symbol would be a criminal offense.

He should be banned, but that's just my opinion.

I think that is only Germany.

It is in France:
"S'il n'existe aucune loi sur le port d'emblèmes nazis au Royaume-Uni, ce n'est pas le cas en France, où l'exhibition publique de drapeaux, d'uniformes ou d'insignes nazis est passible de 1500 euros d'amende, sauf si leur utilisation est justifiée pour les besoins d'un film, d'une pièce ou d'une exposition."
"There may be no legislation about wearing Nazi emblems in the UK, but there is in France, where publicly showing Nazi flags, uniforms or symbols is punishable by a fine of up to 1500 euros, except in those cases where their use is justified by the needs of a movie, theater play or exhibition."

Lighten up, I am sure that he intended it as a joke, and to point out that there are symbols that are offensive to some, but not to others.

The swastika symbol is thousands of years old and has meanings in many religions including Hinduism, Buddhism, Falun Gong etc., and can be found in ancient artifacts everywhere in Europe, of origin being Roman, Celtic, Norse, etc. Even the word "swastika" is ancient, from the language sanskrit. It still means many positive things for people in India, China, Japan, etc. where you can still see it everywhere as a good-luck symbol. It was popular as a good-luck charm in the western world in a few decades right before there was a Nazi party.
It is not a Nazi symbol. The Nazis just took a symbol that was popular at the time and perverted it. Besides, the Nazi had it mirrored, facing right and rotated to stand on a corner. This swastika is standing on a side and is facing left, as is the most common when used for religious purposes.

How about the basic ingredients of which most of our key cap dreams are made of: acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene. Together they polymerize to give ABS.

I like this, thats clever
