I need a custom keycap with the multimedia on it. Like play/pause, next, previous, and etc.

Do anyone know where I could buy from?

^ Nope but you could start your own IC (Interest Check) over in the Group Buy section to see if there's enough interest to start a group-buy.  Good luck and welcome to Geekhack! =)

Welcome to geekhack :)

Easiest way would be via WASD ( www.wasdkeyboards.com ), they provide custom lasering/engraving options for their keycaps. You'd have to create your own media-signs, which shouldn't be much of a problem. Just play around with the custom keyboard designer there, maybe you find something you want. I think they also have some Webdings-fonts with symbols for that... but I'm not sure about that.

Edit: or what reaper said whose entry I missed ^^

Does anyone have a tenkeyless white keyboard with black keycaps (preferably blank ones)? I'm ordering a tenkeyless soon, and am strongly considering buying black keycaps for the contrast and also to fit in with my other black equipment, however I can't find very many pictures of keyboards like that. They're all usually black with white keycaps, which looks great.

Nice choice, I got similar cherry double shots on my black Leopold.

[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 48695[/ATTACH]
I managed to even get a double shot steeped Caps key to fit with some minor modding. Although as you can see the stem was not on perfectly straight
The Space bar row, I couldn't get the Cherry keys to fit, but as they are pad printed instead of double shot I didn't bother.
And yes that is a Deck Skull kepcap being used for the Esc key.

You should keep an eye out for 8113H**US for doubleshot bottom row and centered caps, they have been popping up pretty regularly on ebay lately for good prices used.

I going to have to consider that.
These Cherry double shots I have a lower profile than standard MX Cherry keycaps. So mixing and matching do not look right.

What else do you do with one, they're worth like less than $5 to sell back because of how flooded the market gets with them T_T

My psych 101 book was worth $0.01 if I sell it back to amazon.

Luckily I don't have any, using just the notes from lectures and stuff. If I had one it would probably end up just the same as yours ^^

That text book cost about $100. How gullible I was back in first year when the lecturers all told us to buy the recommended texts. Well, lesson learned... didn't buy any more for the following three years.

Thanks, I guess I would be placing an order from wasd soon.

Quick question, when white keycaps shines, does it show like it does on black/darker keycaps?

Not in my experience. Even when worn completely smooth, white still looks nearer to matte. White doesn't reflect light and appear so glossy like black.

Woohoo!  Bookmarked.

Anybody know how to read VORTEX or 7BIT?

1.3mm thickness Premium PBT keycaps are used.
Cherry MX switch (blue/red/brown/black etc)
Edge is much sharper than the previous model whilst maintaining an elegant design
The keyskin? (maybe keycap cover) Is made from materials that are excellent and sophisticated silicon
Also has Nkey rollover
Has anti slip grip at the bottom of the keyboard as well as the height adjuster underneath the keyboard
LED keycaps on the caps lock, scroll lock, windows lock keys
It has multimedia function keys (the Fn I’m assuming)
Step sculpture? 2 application
Detachable USB cable
Elegant keycap font design
Using genuine cherry stabilizers
PS2&USB combo interface
Cypress company IC jobs?


did you need the translations for those pictures?
the words with question marks next to them i'm not too sure if it doesn't make sense I can double check with the wife.

Dolch grey on white Cherry doubleshots, all white modifiers, etc... too bad it's stupid ISO set. I HATE you ISO!!! Why must you torment me, I know I'll never find matching ANSI keys for these. Total surprise these were, bought the board expecting black on white, how nice... backside pic I took next to regular black on white on right side, not sure if you can tell with the crappy pics.

I prefer the orange and green scheme. I am selling some of the 'leftovers' from that grey/white set, I might be persuaded to let go of the F row as well.

Yup, it's the lighting.  Difficult to get purple to show its true color (same thing with CC).
