## What it is
A parametric keycap and keyset construction library for mechanical keyboards, written in OpenSCAD. It lets users programmatically generate 3D-printable keycap models with customizable profiles, sizes, and legends.

## Use cases
- generate 3d printable keycaps for mechanical keyboards
- design custom keycap profiles in openscad
- create replacement keycaps for a keyboard
- parametrically model keysets with different row profiles
- print a custom legend keycap

## When to choose
- you use OpenSCAD and want scriptable, parametric keycap generation
- you need custom keycap sizes, profiles, or legends for a mechanical keyboard
- you want to 3D-print your own keycaps

## When to avoid
- you want a GUI CAD tool for keycap design
- you need ready-made keycap STLs without any modeling
- you don't use mechanical keyboards or 3D printing

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: graphics, simulation, developer-tools
- domain: hardware, developer-tools, cross-platform
- platform: cross-platform, cli
- tags: openscad, keycaps, mechanical-keyboards, 3d-printing, parametric-modeling, cad
