red alert and klaxon?

[jonathanyu]

Hi, i have found a lot of picture of a keycap that is red on white and white on red.
After some research, i found there is klaxon and red alert, and that look very similar.
So i want to ask, what kind of different do they have? or they are just the same?

They used a slightly different red for klaxon cause SP was not carrying the original red from red alert when the klaxon GB happened. The difference isn't that noticeable though.

[jonathanyu]

so the only different is the color of the red?

Yes.

I think the plastic is slightly thinner on the Klaxon as well, but that's just comparing a RA arrow set against a full Klaxon set.

does the klaxon set also have the red on white modifier set? because i miss both of the groupbuy , so i don't know much of them, but i want it

Klaxon had RoG, RoW, and WoR parts.  check the groupbuy thread

[noisyturtle]

white on red and red on grey mods for klaxon. F1-4 and F9-12 are red on white though.

There are several minor differences.

Red Alert 1 used 7bit symbols.
Red Alert 2 (RA2) used text.
Klaxxon used text and had more color options.

RA2 and Klaxxon both have swirling in the White on Red (WoR) keycaps, while both have it, it's more noticeable severe on RA2. Another difference as mentioned is that one of the three used a different red. Trying to discern between WoR/RoW Klaxxon and RA2 keys is difficult, I have to keep them separated or they will get mixed up.
