It's a copycat! Would this be categorized as a rip off Keycollective? If it is, it would be a catastrophe! But honestly speaking, it's a cat paw..and how many variations of a cat paw can there be? I can see though how this can be a catalyst for more infringements on the artisan designs. In recent years, we've seen mechanical keyboards and accessories catapult into the spotlight. Sooner or later we're going to be able to catenate a list of similar colorways, designs, keycaps etc etc. It's not as big a cataclysm as people make it out to be, though I'm sure there will be quite the caterwaul raised about this.

Merlin64hat's the thing, there are ways of doing similar caps thematically without ripping someone else off.
Alveeno has cat paw caps that do their own thing and aren't a ripoff.
This just looks like an attempt at making KK's meowcaps in aluminum.

pwade3I've met Alveeno. I didn't know he did cat caps. I'll have to poke him about it.

I guess technically more of a dog paw, but you get the point.

pwade3These aren't even shaped the same as KK or Alveeno, how are they a ripoff? They do their own thing too...

BlueCrownedI didn't say they're similar to Alveeno's. My point was that you can do similar designs without biting someone else's style, which is exactly what Alveeno did.
This just looks like an attempt at making a KK Meowcap that's restricted by CNC limitations as opposed to resin casting.
