Still don't understand why they used an italicized font for the 1st DS GB.

I don't actually like the font they used on the Dye Sub keycaps, for me the font is ugly but the colour scheme looks good.

Even though it's not exact, it kind of has that AEKII throwback to it. I kind of like 'out of the ordinary' legends. As long as it's still classy.

I love it, much better then the big boring block letters the pbt's I just bought came with. I don't like cursive or something funky but those blues letters look hot. Too bad the new dye sub group buy doesn't have those.

Thats true, but standard blank KBC ones are like $30-40 cheaper. Stark white on black is nice looking. I always like it in pics, but when I had it in front on me I hated it. Could see every spec of dirt and drove me mad.

Yes! Best thread ever!

But I'm deceived, I was thinking of it as an older and experienced thread, filled with history, online made annecdotes, coloured collections of keycaps to be drown in, from real OCD people who put their keycaps individually in small ziplock bags with a hole for them to breath.

You guys post your key caps one by one to make the fun last but I'm sure you all have a big bunch just behind you're not showing :/.
I have made a brown and a red Cherry keyswitch keychain and I'm seeking for a green and a clear one now, to cover up the main types of Cherries.

I'm a Ducky loyal customer :P. I own two of the three boards in my avatar: the ones with engraved hard-to-read fonts, but I replaced both keycaps set with laser printed ones of the same brand and color... I'm still seeking for to replace the four media keys with matching KBC plastic and laser print.

You sure got all your Duckies in a row.

Anyway, gray is a heavier switch, used in spacebars on cherry keyboards. If you check the "modx coding scheme" at the bottom, you can see the cherry official in red.

Hmm I had read that and didn't see anything about a gray switch. I guess it was more of a skim. Thanks.

It is not an RBGY kit. He bought all those coloured 104 sets. The green shifts came from the anniversary edition.

The blue alt came with the anniversary edition too, but I find it weird the red ctrl didn't come with it.

In Japan they have a special yellow ctrl but I don't know what you had to do to get that.
