Ordered 2 black on white sets, psyched! Have to figure out what I'm going to do with all the keys since I have 1 full size and 2 tenkeyless haha.

Aw - put those white keys on your Filco with the reds. I keep that keyboard at work and no matter how crazy the day gets any keyboarding is just awesome.  My co-workers got a kick out of my pimped out keyboard especially after all the keyboards I've been trying out.  For the past two months each week I would come in with a new keyboard and they would shake their heads. I'm sure they think I'm a little nutty.

Do you think you post some pics when you get em??

I'm trying to decide between these and the pure white blanks. They'll be going on my Filco black (Tenkeyless obvy) with MX Reds.

I posted a photo with the dark gray on white keycaps on the black bodied Filco - on page 30

Anybody know if these will work for a Das Keyboard III? Specifically the spacebar. I believe that the DK uses the wire-based stabilizers, whereas the pics show these keycaps using Cherry style stabilizers.

Is the black on white = dark grey on white?


I see no pictures of black on white, yet pricing for black on white. And no pricing for dark grey on white, yet pictures for dark grey on white. WHAT GIVES

Yes the photo on page 30 shows the gray on white keycaps on my Filco but they are one in the same and called black on white.  And the white is true white not ivory or beige.  I like them so much I ordered another set for another Filco.

Loaded up the 104 too -


Highly recommend these keycaps. Great feel and subtle sound improvement (a bit thunkier/chalkier if that makes any sense).

Oh also, my 7/Home key on the tenkey has a kind of neat defect:



It actually wraps all the way around and looks like a graphic designer got to it. I kind of like the look but it isn't very functional and doesn't match the other keys. Luckily I have one left over from the tenkeyless that I left at work. Hopefully it doesn't also have the defect.

Strangely I also got an extra Y key. :)

Flip your Das Keyboard 3 spacebar over and take a pic.

 
Iiiiiii'm an idiot. The Das Keyboard uses the same layout as filco: Cherry stabilizer slots with the white stabilizer guide inserts. We're all good!

All I could find was a tape measure, and please excuse the ****ty cell phone pic, but it appears that the DK does indeed use 100mm centers:



And for the record, it appears that the stabilizers have white lithium grease on them when shipped.

I got my first set a couple of weeks ago and no glue. Mine were in 3 little zip lock bags in three small KBC boxes.  Reaper - you and I will be waiting on these together as I ordered another set. First set was for my 103 Filco with reds and this set is for my tenkeyless version. Love the reds and these white keycaps on the black Filcos.

This. ISO enter, one extra key and left shift, so easy to make and you get around 700 million new and potential customers. Not to mention over half the top 30 countries in GDP PPP are among those customers:)

I'm actually posting this at school and I've been coming home late lately so I haven't gotten around to following up with the pictures.

I'm not sure if the profile of the keys are different too but I was talking about the surface of the keycaps. The Filco keycaps have a larger surface area than the Leopolds

Are the colored keys from EK the same size as the stock Filco keycaps? If so I can definitely confirm that the Filco keys are bigger than the Leopolds. I use the EK WASD keys on my Leopold and they are bigger than the rest of the surrounding keys.

Look back a few pages - on 30 and then again on one of the later pages shows the white keys on black Filcos.  I have them on my black Filco full sized keyboard and liked them so much that I ordered a set for my tenkeyless version as well.  I should have them next week.  Really like the white keys and they are white, white and not vanilla or beige.
