Hi

I'm after a set of Kinesis advantage DVORAK key caps.

The above image was taken from the Kinesis website; however, I'm not sure if they make just a DVORAK key set do they?

I always thought they only produced the dual legends (both QWERTY & DVORAK)?

Either way, I'm after a set.

Thanks,

Jim.

My understanding is that they do qwerty or dual qwerty/dvorak.

Unless I'm wrong - in which case I'd like a set too!

They don't do blanks either.

Yeah, I thought as much.

I'm going to email kinesis tonight and see if they will sell me a set of the dual legend key caps. I know members of this forum have bought advantage cases parts directly from kinesis, so hopefully they might do the same with keys.

I'll report back when I get an answer.

EDIT: I was just looking on their website and it says that you can buy a dual legend "upgrade" kit at a later date.

It's near the bottom of the page...

They used to sell blank keycaps, but not now. I think it may have something to do with their keycap supplier...which they have changed.

I have 2 sets of white dual-legended Contoureds. They are the Professional.
