How did you order the two colors from WASD? It seems costly to order a 37 key set and then order a bunch of single keys on top of that to complete the set.

A custom set?

sth · « **Reply #401 on:** Thu, 22 March 2012, 21:33:10 »

It was cheaper by a few bucks and I really didn't want the extra caps. I put the rest of the white caps on the right cluster and arrows of my Leopold tenkeyless.

If I can do it, you can do it too whisker. =P And believe me, I'm the type of person that looks down every few seconds at the letters. lol

I was using a blank set for a little while, and while I "got by," it was just frustrating enough to taint the pure enjoyment of typing on a nice keyboard.

Got my WYSE WY60 keycaps in the mail today. Very little to no yellowing from what I can discern. Unfortunately, they are of the thin variety.

AKIMbO, have you ordered some Wyse moogle kits yet? ;-)

Yes, through Quarzac's group buy.

This was the same way I functioned - don't need the legends, but I would still default to them from time to time. The blanks forced me to actually learn my num row after years of neglect.

I replaced esc thru 7 on my poker with skulls and that was hard enough trying to remember what the symbols were lol.

that's the only way to learn.

my hhkb is blank, my cm storm has engraved and my poker has engraved. so, forcing myself to better my touch typing whenever i use any of my main keyboards.

Yea man those caps + the blue imsto case is an epic combination, I reckon late next week you should see that space bar, just hope the colour is going to be OK..

reaper · « **Reply #412 on:** Sat, 24 March 2012, 09:57:49 »

We shall see. Why? Is the spacebar too yellowish or something? =P I'm more worry about the fitting though.

This is my white Filco with MX Red, genuine Dolch double shot keycaps, with Round 3 Dolch replica as the front row and mods. Oh, and my genuine Cherry red Esc keycap

If you think you will get be getting a Dolch keycap set in the future, you will want to go to this thread and order yourself a Dolch moogle kit. Moogle kit group buys don't happen all the time, and it has never happened for Dolch moogle kit. Do it now or you will be begging to trade your rare click clack keycaps for one later.

Oh, and this Moogle kit group buy is super easy. No need to have a Computer Science degree to join. With this group buy you just need to fill out an online form. Piece of cake!

and now i regret selling my filco w/ round 3 doubleshots lol

hashbaz · « **Reply #416 on:** Sun, 25 March 2012, 23:42:26 »

That looks amazing, litster. An R3 set on a white Filco was my original Most Desired Keyboard shortly after I joined GH. I never realized that dream. Now that I own a white Leopold, I'm kicking myself for not buying a Dolch set when I had the chance.

Does the clickclack white match the KBC white pretty well?

Looks good I think it would look cleaner without the red WASD:thumb:

The click clack more of an off white but it's not that noticeable unless you stare at it. I was thinking about changing the wasd keys as well but I want to keep them on the keyboard for the sake of owning them. I might change them out later haha

This is all I got so far. Just recently started spending more money on keycaps than keyboards lol. My Noppoo Choc Mini is gonna be pretty naked until 7bit's doubleshot round 4 goes through. Haven't been able to find a compatible set for it really.

Anyway, I got some side printed PBT keycaps from Qtan on this Leopold. Also on there are WASKeyboards RGB modifiers (I wasn't really liking the blue color on some of the other RGB modifiers but I wish I could get a set of RGBY doubleshots with white legends =/) and some leftover novelty doubleshots from Ragnarock and nokcha. Now I'm waiting on some Wyse keycaps to come in the mail and my kit from 7bit's group buy. Just gotta find me some dolch keycaps and a way to get in on the doubleshot group buys from Sherryton and tsangan. Oh, and I gotta get me a set of dyesub PBT keycaps from either imsto or attarian. Can't decide.

DragonLotus · « **Reply #422 on:** Mon, 26 March 2012, 21:25:26 »

KBC PBT White keys dyed black. Then I saw the group buy for KBC Black Blank

. Sorry for grainy photos. I don't have a camera on me with decent resolution.
My spacebar is not that shiny. I got this set from feng.

you guys just made me miss the **** out of my blue case filco. I have no idea now why I sold it.

I got my purple dye subs from imsto today, and zerg dye sub esc. I'm a tiny bit bummed the zerg white isn't the same white as the rest. It also needs a little more flair, but I'm not sure what to add.

litster · « **Reply #435 on:** Tue, 21 August 2012, 22:26:57 »

It is a shame we lost most of the attachments in the thread. But here are a couple of new ones from me, continuing keyboard dress ups!

Edit: I should explain what they are.

KMAC winkey Titanium with Dolch double shots + Hashbaz's Dolch Moogle + Hashbaz's Red Cherry font Enter + the mystery keycap I just received.

This is a KMAC winkeless Silver with 2 sets of Cherry dye sub keycaps. One set is just plain black on beige Cherry dye sub. The other set RGB dye sub with some special print caps.

Hazeluff, that is the most excellent specimen of a keyboard that I've seen, in my entire life. My grail also incorporates the Nyancat numbers and rainbow keys, but with either a foxhound or jolly roger for the escape key.

Slowly but surely my vomit board is coming along... too bad I sold a lot of my old caps that I had. Putting whatever spare/collection caps I have on my WASD

On occasion, I'll switch out one of the spares onto my Ducky keychain to carry around with me

I like to dress that thing up more than keyboards, but I guess because it's much easier.
