Man, you're good.  And that last one is from Leopold (and yes, not a DS).

Yea, my Leo didn't come with a red escape so I wasn't too sure; went with the more common freeby.

Actually the last one looks like Filco.

Italicized Futura.


Now THIS one stumped me.

Bottom two are Filco I believe, based on the thickness of the plastic.

Yep.  Same as WASD and Rosewill.

WASD (still looking for this pic using home row keys)

What? You want a picture of the three profiles for a WASD key from the Homerow?

Yes.   Like the rest of the entries in the Key Ref Wiki stickied above:

F, S D preferred with F up to show the nubile, nubbly, nubian nubs.

I could supply that but the best I have for you is a US-Standard Ruler.

Correct!

If anybody has key pics of the CURRENT Das S I can post in the Key Ref Wiki like the one above please post it sometime and I'll put in the Key Ref Wiki.

Give me till Tuesday and I can have both of WASD/Das S pics. My friend has the Das and I have the WASD... just need to find the desire to rip the home row off my  keyboard.

3 keys.  I use a bit of clay to hold that third key.  Ruler optional.  I ignore it anyway.

I should be able to find some solution other than clay to keep the angle correct.

Sixty made some crack about having the deeper Red version but not sure if he was serious or trolling.

Does he has any picture to back up his claim?  We should demand pics from him. =P

Is it bad that I recognized all of reaper's escape keys, even though I've never seen a red escape key in my life?
