4 Colour Deck Modifiers anyone?

csloan1218 · « **Reply #651 on:** Thu, 11 April 2013, 01:41:01 »

If it hasn't been mentioned before (I'm sure it has), I would really like to see some double shot black transparent keys for my ducky shine 2.

Someone told me they might be making something like that, I just have yet to confirm it.

How about "rare, custom" stacked using Comic Sans.

How about meth caps but a whole keyboard? Spacebar, modifiers, backspace, shift, etc.

There was an interest check for this, it didn't go far.

LechnerDE · « **Reply #674 on:** Thu, 16 May 2013, 01:12:36 »

Hey i3oliermaker,

would this Thundercats cap be possible or would SP refuse to do it 'cause of possible copyright issues?

Lego key cap.

It can be the size of around four pegs squared.

You can use it to plug in current Lego figures and other Lego objects.

I've seen this mentioned a few places recently maybe someone will try it.

elttaboi · « **Reply #684 on:** Sat, 01 June 2013, 13:17:46 »

Doesn't a square lego fit nicely? You could possibly just make the key with a real lego.

I'd like to see signature plastics polycarb white on black keycaps. Even if it's only for the caps lock, scroll lock and num lock keys. In both Cherry and Wyse fonts would be nice, too.

I believe this has been discussed before. It was sort of decided that black keycaps wouldn't be ideal because the light wouldn't light up the entire keycap optimally, where as a white keycap would. I think there are plans to make a full set of white polycarb keycaps with Cherry font, but the fund for the legends has not yet been met.

Internetlad · « **Reply #687 on:** Wed, 05 June 2013, 12:45:24 »

How about a set that spoofs the matrix text. Could it be possible to doubleshot that reactive plastic that the lego lightsabers use for effect, or just doubleshot neon green on black. Has something like that been done before? It's kind of a no-brainer.

Think:

But obviously in the colour:

Would give the same effect as an otaku keyboard in which it makes no sense, but it won't matter to touch-typers anyways.

Love this idea!

I also found this on DT about the keyboard that Tank uses in the movie. Looks like he had a 60%!

These caps on a 60% with green polycarb and black doubleshot on a green LED backlit keyboard?

Old style mario NES Block / coin /mushroom / star /sprites??

I'd love a Super Meat Boy, Binding of Isaac, or Castle Crashers cap! It'd be especially awesome if one was.. um.. molded? like the cc skull keys... ~(•u•)~
Also, a set that uses OCR A for the font :D

I think Soul Eater logos would be pretty sweet, and they don't look all that hard to make either. Someone could always create a logo for Asura's eyes, that would look pretty great too.
