hey guys!
Sorry I've been away from the forum for a while so I have a lot of catching up to do.
Just wondering, what is the SP forum?
I would love some of these custom caps :D
Also, if anyone has the orange geekhack enter key please let me know! I would love to buy one!

Nice to see you guys again!
Cheers

Yup, those are black with red arrow keys and I got them from qtan.   Someone posted a link to it on Taobao on his verdor forum.

As for those aluminum/titanium caps, you might wanna check with imsto.

Who says rubber domes can't join in the fun? My Dell SK-8115; current main driver.

I spray painted the Ctrl and Alt caps (obviously shouldn't last very long); gray caps are from an SK-8125 that I cannablized for its controllers and domes. In real life the gray isn't that obvious as flash makes it stand out more.

It's an okay keyboard. While the feel is pretty decent for a rubber dome and somewhat on the lighter side (at least my sample; other SK-8115s are somewhat heavier feel wise), the whole board is extremely light since there's no metal backplate. Whole case is ABS though which is good.

Maybe it's because of a nice bright red, and SP's mismatching font in all caps doesn't look nice if the objective is to bring some color to a matching dual-shot cherry board.
I'm currently waiting for a Fentek sold red esc on white (by SP), looks like the regular sold by SP, but it's not all caps (albeit same font) so it should blend a little better than it's sibling. IIRC, ripster posted some pics of it in a Red Esc Shootout.
With an original Cherry key, there are no compromises, because everything's exactly as it should: profile, thickness, nice color and matching font. Rarity makes it even more interesting, of course.

I started some talk in the round 2 moogle thread about doing a group buy of red escapes from SP, with custom legends designed to match the Cherry font.

What do you think about those caps?  I have a RK-9000 in the mail, and I really like how mellow the yellow is.  Not really a fan of WASD's yellow, plus I like the print on the side.

the yellow is pretty bright yellow.  it could just be the way the camera on my phone focused, it was tricky to make the flash not light up the keys like crazy.

As for the trade, the only one I'm after is that Jack-o-lantern one from last Halloween.  =(
