I move to rename this article. First of all, though having exactly two shots is by far the most common, three and four "shot" moulded keycaps do exist. Including them under this heading (and also on the "keycap printing" page) makes the most sense as they are the same process, just extended to a further step. However, then it would be a misnomer, and wouldnt really make sense. Therefore, I say we should name this to better suit the fact that the legend is formed by contrasting colours of plastic directly. It is mentioned on this page, but I'd like to add more. I suppose I could make a triple-shot molding page and a quadrupel-shot molding page, but I feel like that's the wrong answer. Some ideas: multi shot molding Injection molded legends something else? I would like to contribute some three and four "shot" molded keycaps as examples here, as well as bulk up the knowledge surrounding keycap legending processes, but first we must ensure proper nomenclature is used throughout. Also, to make Daniel happy, I guess I should learn some wiki markup language again, so I can have it all properly formatted and whatever.

Looks like the alternative term is '''multi-shot moulding''' if that's what you prefer. : :[[User:Daniel beardsmore|Daniel Beardsmore]] ([[User talk:Daniel beardsmore|talk]]) 18:21, 15 January 2014 (CET) <!-- PS attempting to make me happy is a futile cause, especially if you're male -->
