Hard to find ALPS keycaps, this is what I've got so far.
« on: Wed, 05 September 2012, 16:46:43 »
Suggestions welcome, these are sadly the only colors I could find out there so I had to make due with what I had.  Planning on getting the non 1x keys made up from SP eventually.

I picked them up from Fentek-Ind(with the exception of the Red Esc, thats SP), pretty sure I found their link here buried in a thread somewhere, they sold me the rest of the ALPS caps they had.

Here is a pic of the keys I got



They also sent me these, but the green key wasn't alps so I couldn't use it, and I am already using a red escape, I might make use of the panic on another board I have.


And here is a shot of the switch.

Nice :)

I like the "DON'T PANIC" key sitting next to the "Panic" key  ;D

In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

That's a really nice looking board. I'm still trying to get a set for my 1087.
