Title: Filco Camo Key Caps Discussion
Post by: swagpiratex on Mon, 10 September 2012, 01:34:13
Calling all Filco Camo users! I was trying to think of ideas for what to dress up my camo keyboard with. Right now I have some black blant PBT's coming from feng, but was wondering what others have been putting on their keyboards. Here are some that I was able to find. Please post up pics that you thought were interesting.

Bonus points for the people that have pictures of the double-shot keycap set that jil put on hold. I still have no idea what that set looks like, lol.

Dolch set with Dolch Moogle kit from hashbaz?  Top it off with Machine Green skull & arrow set from ClickClack.  ;)

I have a camo, and in fact I have a second one incoming soon since the ninja I ordered had a problem and by the time I got it RMA all the browns were gone, so I am up for a second camo.

So I was thinking myself, what set would look the more badass on this thing. Right now, I think that maybe a set with light camo green on black and inversed modifiers could be nice, but it's hard to tell without seeing it.

BTW, is there a program that you all use to "simulate" keysets?

P.S.: If u can find a picture of this orange keyset on camo it would be nice  ;D

What about making a "blank" keyboard with these keycaps:

If those originated from where I think they did, then good luck finding even a single set of 4.

As much as some of us might to carpet a KB with CC's, picking such a super-limited one to do it with would certainly be ... expensive.

It would look nice, though.

Minimalism is classy - I think this looks very clean :)

Dolch on camo is by far the best looking option (or other gray set like MO1 or R3). If you want, also adding a R3 gamer set (hunter orange) might be a nice touch.

Reaper wins! Although, personally I'd go with the black engraved pbt caps. It would complement the board perfectly. And if I was the one with the camo wasd cc set, I'd throw those on there to break up the black.

Post by: PointyFox on Sun, 30 December 2012, 00:39:40
It looks identical to the 5th picture in the 1st post, except with a red esc keycap.

I think the best looking keycaps for the Multicam are the Round 1 Dolch caps like on this keyboard:

Ripster had a pic somewhere but I can't find it.

From TWSBI I have a 540 Clear and a Vac700 Smoke, both with EF nibs. Are you happy with the Mini? The 540 is one of my favourite fountain pens.

Sorry for the off-topic  :D

PS. and yes, I saw that there's a camo underneath the pen.  :p

That would be SquareBox's set, well his keyboard anyways. He also uses the alias of Undarken on some other forums. :)

I actually think the yellow can work but needs to be paired with something other than the stock filco caps as the base set. Camo matches  every thing you know :)

The Dolch scheme is awesome.

My son's faux-camo Model M with PBT caps done in 15-20 minutes of RIT "Dark Green" (with special keys similar with "Sunshine Orange" and "Scarlet")

The mottled effect was completely random and not planned or encouraged. The caps were cleaned very well before the dye bath.
