Comparing RA 2.0 GH cap and the monthly red on white GH cap

[Halverson]

So I can't for the life of me tell these apart, I may be colourblind. But now I have 4 caps mixed up and not sure if one is a different colour.

Can anyone provide me with a photo comparing the two side by side?

Cheers,
Halverson

[Rumudiez]

Can YOU post a pic of your pieces? I don't own any of these, but maybe some group examination can reveal any differences.

[mickd]

I saw a picture that someone posted with both on their keyboard and from their picture I could definitely tell a difference between the two. Can't remember where I saw the picture though..

[reaper]

These are from demik's monthly GH group buy...





I also have the ones from Rag's RA 2.0 GB and I'll post that later.

[SmallFry]

They look identical... granted the monitor I'm typing on is a cracked LED screen that my Aunt hasn't taken back to the Black Friday sale yet... stupid people in the store look like they jabbed it with a pen.

[Sifo]

Those two ARE identical... they're the some ones.

[rowdy]

And there was me thinking there was something wrong with my eyes.

[mkawa]

i believe they're both RA on WFK and so copies of either should be identical

Between the monthly and RA? I was comparing the white on red from RA and the older white on red cap, and they are a noticeable difference. I figured those were the two reds in these caps as well.

I would post pics, but currently out of country and the only potatoe iPhone pictures make them look the same but overexposed.

A side by side shot would be amazing Reaper:)

Also, if anyone reading this has the red on white from the RA2.0 buy. I would glady buy it to try and finish my GH cap collection. (This is the last one I need....95% sure).

i think i have seen some orders for RA and some for RR.  i know the color composition is different and i may not have the best sense of color but to me they are very close together when viewed in most light.  When i compare colors i am comparing a 2"x3" color chip and they look pretty close so if you are only looking at the 0.012" or 0.015" line thickness on the key it is probably hard to see a difference unless you really study them

Yea, I studied them in all types of light and still couldn't tell a lick of difference. You don't happen to have any RA2.0 GH caps laying around the shop do ya?

Why don't you look at the red webbing on the back side?  Lots more plastic to compare, there.

I have a couple of RA red-on-white sets, but zero of the monthly order version, so I cannot cross-compare.

Yea I did look at the backside mostly, and same results. So I'm just going to keep an eye out for a comparison photo, or try to get my hands on RA2.0 cap.

Just noticed this now! PM sent!

i find the RA 2.0 GH cap's red is "darker" than Demik's old GB GH
when i get home i'll take a pic of them side by side, but this is the closest I can show you to compare from an old picture i uploaded.

Demik GH, RA 2.0 White on Red GH, RA 2.0 Red on White GH in that order

[Halverson]

Thanks projectD. Looks darker on the left definitely, but photos are hard. Glissant should be taking a couple tomorrow as well, the more the merrier!

[mickd]

Ooo that was the photo I was talking about earlier in the thread.

[reaper]

Rag's RA set has the darker red..





Demik's GH GB on the left, Rag's RA on the right.

[IPT]

thanks reaper! I was busy last night and forgot to take pics

[reaper]

Haha, no problem.  I just happen to have some free time today. 

[IPT]

reaper since you got time find me a good price on the metallic blue filco or a black filco 104key mx blue! (sorry for the thread jacking)

[reaper]

Hey, I'm not Google. lol  And you mean this?

[IPT]

yes but shipping is so much =( lol

[Halverson]

Oh you guys, sall good. Thanks for the pic Reaper! That one has a definite darker red. Seems as though I'm still on the hunt for a RA2.0 cap, possibly, may have one in the works.

[rowdy]

Is there really that much difference?  Maybe I'm just over-tired with blurry eyes, and/or the colours on this monitor are not perfect, but to me they look almost identical.

Is it really a big deal?

The one on the right is darker.

Big deal to mostly everyone? No. To me? Yes. I'm getting a nice collection of every GH cap of that style, and that is the only one that I am missing currently(to my knowledge), and even if it's ever so slightly darker, I still would like to have it.

[rowdy]

Ok, fair enough, I can relate to that

Do you have the one in the R3 colors (White on Greyish)?

The wannabe dolch style? Yup. When I'm back in my log home in northern Canada in a week or more, I'll get some pics to try and get folks to help me finish the collection.

How many are there total? I can't ever keep track... Wish I could get a set of all of them too, but I get distracted from the goal too easily. Especially with my Phantom in the works.

[Halverson]

How many are there...let me try to think of them all...not at home so I can't easily count them.

-RA 2.0 red on white
-RA 2.0 white on red
-R3 white on grey
-R3 white on black
-R3 white on orange
-R3 white on light blue
-CCnG white on green
-CCnG green on white
-Black on orange (origin dunno. R3 perhaps?)
-Orange on black (origin dunno. R3 perhaps?)
-Monthly buy black on yellow
-Monthly buy green on blue
-Monthly buy red on white
-Upcoming Valentines set (Not sure if two or one styles)
-Not quite the same style, but the QWERkey white/orange/black
-Not the same but similar, Imstos reddish orange on grey
-Not the same but Keyboard Stories black on red


That's everything I can think of at the moment! There are some more, like the GH fundraiser modifiers, and the Cherry replica modifiers. As well as the WASD lasered caps. And probably some caps I don't even know about!

And as for that....I just need the RA 2.0 red on white folks!

EDIT-There is also an orange on black ALPS cap

[iMav]

You are missing pretty much all of the ones from when I did the monthly group buy.  (And there are SEVERAL)

Why you gotta do this to me mav! You sent them with that poker I bought from you right?

If you would be so kind, I would love a pm with the colours you did

Oh wait, don't think pms work with you, hehe. Just add what I'm missing to the list would be cool, forever on my quest to find GH rarities.

[IPT]

mav's clearly trolling you lol
its ok, i only got like the 3 GH keys you see and the blue/green one from Demik

so anything from this year, nothing old school =(

Ohhh I dunno. I bet he has all the oldschool stuff before I even knew what mech boards were! Now I'm all wondering what the caps could be!

I was like you earlier this year, but then started going for it. It's not easy for sure. And I'm stuck on a cap that shouldn't be so rare!

[reaper]

Oh he wasn't trolling.  Some of the best ones were from that era. 

[Halverson]

^See! I'm not crazy! Although the only one that seems really different if the white on dark blue looking one. Perhaps that green is darker than the CCnG one.

You probably have doubles Reaper, help me out 

[SmallFry]

I remember some of those buys... wish I had bought them then...

[IPT]

reaper, sell me a white on blue!
