Bought them from the seller here. He told me he was going to sell his last set for $150 - $180.

Working on getting those as well.:tongue: Main reason I bought these was to see what the hype was all about haha. No regrets in that area! Might still put them up for trade or sale soon though. Wanna try out a bunch of new stuff before deciding on what suits me.

Isn't that stepped capslock not going to fit on a filco?

^ Yah, if the stem isn't centered then it's not gonna fit.  Needs stem mod.

Yup I know. I'll either send it in to be modded or if I'm feeling particularly reckless, l try it myself.

Cherry are the best caps in my opinion. It's what I have now decided to focus on, and it's getting really expensive quick, as generally keyboards come attached to them. Usually keyboards I don't even want. But I am going out of my way to get the ones that come in different colorways than black and white. I now have a coffee on cream set, and a black on light grey set. Really wish I could find a TA set with the blue keycaps. I have my eye on an unusual Nixdorf that I am hoping to get the seller to pull a cap for confirmation. I also have my obsession with Cherry centered stem caps and doubleshot 1,25 modifiers that is not so cheap or harder to find especially in white.
I suggest that you don't trade off or sell a brand new complete set. I can guarantee you would regret it later. I had a full white set not too long ago, and really really regret trading that as I now have paid quite a lot more for another one, which is not even ANSI.

I've been doing the same thing. Traded for a white set and since have bought two more. Want to get some while I can. Not that they are becoming extinct but still not the easiest thing to find.

lysol sounds like you got some sweet odd colored ones. Coffee and cream sounds really nice.

Yeah I do really like the coffee and cream, but they are incomplete which is irritating. The Commodore I just ran into, pretty surprised none of you noticed it and snatched it out from me. I don't think I will fare as well today, I am sure one of you deep pocketed people will spoil my evening.

On what an ebay auction?

I hate incomplete sets. They suck. But I guess some is better then none.

As promised, Super Hero on a Poker reds w/ PBT keycaps...





I think he looks better with all black keycaps (more dark & sinister just like me :heh: ).

The other one which is a Military Skull is an ALPS keycap so I'll have to dig up my Zero...

I'm glad you posted this pic. I have always wondered about the retro look with blank key caps. I might look into getting a set from WASD in this scheme, mostly because it's cheap and easy. By the way, where did you get that PBT set?

Hey reaper, if you have some time, you got some white Cherry alphas to put next to the modifers on the pbt set? They look like a good match, but just curious.

I think the superhero looks much cooler with the lighter colors around it. Make him look like he just busted his face through he board and is like "YO!"

Basically I'm saying, it stands out better. So nice :D

You're right!  It looks better with the white/light color keycaps.

Sorry I missed your post and question, I got the set from imsto's group buy.
