Help me find white ABS/PBT backlit keycaps :)
« on: Mon, 18 November 2013, 02:24:52 »
Hello geekhack,

I have lurked this site for a couple months and finally decided to make an account, hopefully my question belongs here.

I have recently purchased a ducky shine TKL 3 with mx reds and green LEDS (my first board) and the black keys really aren't my cup of tea. I have searched around for basic white backlit friendly caps and can't find squat. If any of you guys can point me into the direction of a group buy/vendor/personal sale. I would greatly appreciate it. Not sure if any PBT caps are even made with backlit letters, however I am a board noob so be gentle ;) thanks! *edit mostly looking for just the letters

P.s. If anyone is selling a gasmask (color doesn't matter, and doesn't have to be mint) I'm interested in buying for $20 shipped to USA. I want to try my hand at painting keycaps and would love to test it on a gasmask model.

It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Nowhere else seems to have the white ones any more.

http://www.vendio.com/stores/E-sports-Gaming-equipments/product/__template=iphone/lid=34914332   Thanks for responding! I doesn't say that the white keys are backlit, will my LEDs shine through the letters? Im a click away from ordering. *edit nevermind I am a moron. (Not a very smooth and dapper first post) thanks again rowdy. Ordering on my lunch break:)

Fairly sure, the description does say "It is a full set, design to replace keycaps on Ducky LED keyboard, 100% work good with the LED light.".

If in doubt, send qtan a PM or post a question in his vendor forum.

But the position of the legends tends to give it away too - all the legends (even shifted characters) are at the top of the keycap because there is where the LEDs are.
