Really nice looking there tubby.

I now have both sets of PBT keys on my Filco and Leo; PITA to get the glue off.  I clumped the glue up into a big ball and used that to unstick the bottoms, one key at a time.  Not too hard or messy, just a little time consuming.

Sadly the Leo's space bar must remain stock.

Knock on wood I don't see any issues with the way the keycaps attach and remove to the cherry stems on these boards.

if you don't have any of that stuff they're recommending to remove the glue.. i used packaging tape to remove it.. it took quite a long ass time to do...

i do love the keycaps though

I had the best results removing the glue with a lint / cat hair roller.  Still a PITA, but no solvent smells.  (Although maybe sniffing fumes kills enough brain cells to make the job seem less boring?)

Thanks, MrSneis :)

I didn't get the 104 PBT set; wanted a blank white set but wasn't available yet.
My friend who joined my order, however did. And lucky enough he got a glue-less set :)
Did your 104 set come in 3 separate small boxes, or was it neatly arranged like the pic on the first post? Glued version, I would presume would be the latter?

Was that your first time typing on a keyboard with blank caps? Nah jk ;p
So it would seem glued version would be the keyboard-length box, while the glue-less ones are split into three small boxes.
The keyboard-length one seems pretty nice to have for placing the unused caps.

 That's my plan to put the white keycaps on my black Filco. I can't wait - my keycaps are on their way and hopefully I should get them by the end of the week. I'll share a photo of my two toned black and white board along with my two toned mouse.

I got my black engraved the other day, that adhesive was annoying, thankfully I wasn't using the letter keys. The original leopold space bar matches the black of the new buttons, which is good since you can't switch out that due to the different supports. I'll post a pic later.

Now wouldn't your Filco with the reds look great with the gray on white keycaps?  I should have mine by the end of this week and will post showing them on the Filco.  I think from the posts Imsto still had some stock of these gray on white.

The logo is still there but the photo doesn't show it.  The logo is actually a grayish silver which compliments the the gray lettering on the keys.

When someone gets a Gen 2 Filco with switches OTHER than red please confirm whether it's silver or gray.
Someone at vr-zone posted a pic of his brown & blue switch Majestouch 2... and its gray.
My tenkeyless red switch doesn't seem to look as dark though. I would still call it silver... darkish silver?

pictures around the web makes it appear like gun metal black, some even look jet-black.

Another trivial difference: the Majestouch2 is horizontally brushed while the brushing on non NKRO seems arced.

If you have a look at page 2/3 people have been paying $35 postage for 2 sets
