Too many keyboards, I am very tempted though because of how awesome it looks, at first I wasn't a huge fan of the camo, but now it's definitely grown on me.

Hi reaper,
are those keycaps from your soulfree's group buy double shot ? (in your post 01, execuse me, I cannot post img's URL)

Yup, those 4 keycaps are all doubleshots

Just received a package from WASD.
(Attachment Link) 39217[/ATTACH]

Will post again once I put them on the Advantage. :)

Original:
[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 39260[/ATTACH]


With new WASD key caps (and 40A o-rings), testing out different color schemes on the left and right.
[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 39259[/ATTACH]

The 4 keys that are still labeled are the ones that WASD does not have suitable replacement for. See WASD Keyboards Kinesis Key Cap Project for details.

You might have to check my layout for the colors to make sense, see sig.

Update:
Played around some more and ended up with this:
[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 39261[/ATTACH]

Yellow and green are too bright and red crashes with orange, that's why I settled for blue shift keys. It's not ideal but better than the others.

I got some Leopold Korea stuff from jrockroll a few months ago. If you want the yellow running man esc, a few of the SP grab bags people have them, might check the classifieds first. A lot easier than trying to order from Leopold Korea, don't they only ship to a South Korean address?

Dunno. Yea I think I will check classifieds (just want the orange paw though).

In leopold webstie, Google translated this "Nomination of origin:   USA". If the translation/interpretation is not wrong, is it really coming from USA?

You're both welcome! =)  Also I saw your thread in Classifieds and if there's no offer just PM kant1971 and ask him nicely.  Perhaps he could get you both a set each. ;)

Don't know how much for shipping though..  so be prepare for that.

EVERYONE gets stuff from SP, including all the companies in NA that do keycaps, if it's doubleshot it gets outsourced to SP. Ripster believes China has tons of these machine just that they aren't using them

It's a nightmare alright. They are all so beautiful that you cant decide which to use on your keyboard.
Then again, Some are so pretty that you will swore to never use but want to show it off. The dilemma!!!

I decided against taking the photo with a Cherry space bar just sitting on top of the switch :)
It is definitely worth trying to eliminate the SP supplemental keys, they feel quite a bit different to me.
