Title: [IC] Clear keycaps set
Post by: MOZ on Sat, 31 August 2013, 13:55:46
The recent GB by kinruan for switch cover top had clear switch covers and these look great with clear caps from SP, specially if you have applied stickers.

You can check out the images here: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=46446.msg1023490#msg1023490

So I'm jest gauging if there is enough interest for a GB for these keycaps:

If there is we can have a GB for these

Yeah, they do for 104 keyset.

I figured, if we have good numbers we can get better pricing, and more options, maybe with legends?

i have those, due to their darker tone, unless you have LEDs installed the sticker color doesn't show on the transparent covers, only the color of the cover shows through.

I am interested. I don't know whether we need legends for these - they would limit the see trough effect wouldn't they?

Maybe engraving is an option?
