Thanks. Might go 37 set of blue to make the red less obvious....


You're welcome and that might work too!  Please post some pics if you decide to go that route.  I'd like to see the result if you don't mind. =P

btw, your posts on this site that i've seen researching mechs have been incredibly helpful.


Heh, thanks and are you sure that it's me?  =D

Derp, just found out you can turn off the annoying DeathAdder lights. This changes everything.

Will definitely post pics whatever I end up doing :P

Thanks. That looks great on that board (really wish Rosewills came in TKL....)
Try a CMstorm QF Rapid. If you get the one with cherry Red switches, it'll have a red plate. Otherwise, they're pretty similar (detachable cable, etc.), down to the same people complaining about the amount of branding on the keyboard.

Also, keep in mind you can only kind-of see the red plate through the keycaps, no matter what the photoshopped pictures look like, online.
Here's an example:

| Unicomp (BS) | WASD V1 (Brown) | CMstorm QF Rapid (Red) | Olivetti (RD) | WYSE 50 (Black) | WYSE 30 (Black) | Two * Access-IS 6x12 (Black) | Cherry G84-4101 SPAUS (ML) | WYSE PCE 840358 (Black) | IBM 6110668 31 JAN '84 | CMstorm QF Rapid (Blue) | NIB Cherry G80-8113 (Browns) | IBM Model F XT | 2* TG3 BL82 (Black) | Siig Minitouch (Monterey) | Cherry G80-8113 (browns) | CMstorm QF Rapid (Blue) | | CMstorm QF Rapid (Green)

Are they PBT? Is the HL logo double-shot? :D

I'm not sure on the material, but the logo is lasered.

Edit: It's ABS.

Modded my imsto off-center stepped caps lock to center stemmed.  Only took 3 tries without a jig.  It's a hair too far to the right but I'm giving up for tonight.

Hey guys, new to this website, but I stalked here before buying my old keyboard (filco tenkeyless with browns)

I'm thinking of getting a few custom keys, while keeping a minimalist look on it. thinking going for blank whites from WASD, with light grey wasd and escape. Does anyone have any recommendations?

If you're doing blank white, get PBT instead.

Where is it possible to source PBTs? WASD apparently doesn't have an ETA on them atm

A little key replacement on the CM storm I got the other day with some grey keycaps just from WASD.

I like the less logo look.

It was surprisingly easy to replace the caps (first time doing it, useful You tube forum video link for the stabilisers as that would have been harder to work out!). Have some white ones on the way and will replace the letters with them when they arrive I think.
