That colour combi looks like that CS set from dunno who last time hahaha

esoomenona · « **Reply #604 on:** Thu, 10 January 2013, 07:06:31 »

I don't know. I think the colors sort of mesh with the show/characters well. Maybe because of how the opening credits come across to me?

Shadovved · « **Reply #605 on:** Thu, 10 January 2013, 07:07:41 »

Hm, but black on bright colours is hard to go wrong too

There are actually keyboards specifically built for video editing.
You mean like the Da Vinci Resolve?

Show Image

It's a great keyboard from what I've read, but I've never used one myself, because it costs 30 grand.

That looks more like what a rocket control station would use. Really, video editing?

witchinghour · « **Reply #607 on:** Thu, 10 January 2013, 14:45:25 »

Yea I just used the colours from the opening creds.. maybe not to your liking but if not something like that, I think it would have to be just black&white

The only idea i've really had is to make keys that look like legos. either the normal key shape with studs on top or a full square shaped enter or escape or something. i wanted to make them but the very idea of what that would entail was enough to make me tired so i never did.

I know this isn't exactly what you're looking for but I thought you might still be interested. QWER is selling these which I thought were cute.

I'd like to see a League of Legends custom key cap set with the "L" game icon as Esc. Maybe QWER in the same font and icon style as the "L"?

Show Image

The D and F keys being an assortment of all the different summoner spell icons:

http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Summoner_spell

And B being the recall icon:

Show Image

Could add a few others maybe, like A and V for the attack move and retreat ping cursors if people would want those. Thoughts, anyone?

I ran this set a while back.

I have the WASD sampler caps and the profile is different than the OEM caps which come standard on a Leopold FC200R. I think WASD may have their own profile.

ishumprod · « **Reply #633 on:** Tue, 26 March 2013, 15:41:30 »

inspired by the nyan cat set style :
this as a backspace :

and this as number row ( just the fire design on the whole keycap) :

ishumprod · « **Reply #634 on:** Tue, 26 March 2013, 15:42:17 »

i hope is hasn't been done before, because i am VERY proud of my idea

You mean like this

esoomenona · « **Reply #636 on:** Tue, 26 March 2013, 16:01:26 »

I'm not sure about fire on the whole number row. Maybe just the two keys to the left of backspace?

ishumprod · « **Reply #637 on:** Tue, 26 March 2013, 16:02:16 »

no, i mean really just flames, as in the nyan cat set there was a rainbow.

yeah, it's just an idea that i threw like that

but yeah two or three caps should be enough

ping111 · « **Reply #638 on:** Tue, 02 April 2013, 09:49:53 »

What I'd really love are keycaps with the flags of the world, and each flag's respective country starts with the letter. For example, C would be the Canadian flag, Q=Qatar, etc. etc. I think this has to happen – I'm a huge vexillology buff.

Melvang · « **Reply #639 on:** Wed, 03 April 2013, 09:48:48 »

I realize the opinion some of you guys have in regards to razer but I just sent them an e-mail asking them permission to use their logo for a keycap. I think this would look nice in the toxic colors or as a backlit key.

Edit: Also just talked with a GM for Blizzard asking them about using some of their faction logos for keycaps and he told me that I would have to contact their legal department via snail mail. If anyone might be interested in this the address is as follows

Blizzard Entertainment
Attn: Legal Department
P.O. Box 18979
Irvine, CA 92623

Be sure to include all of your contact information (name, address, telephone number) so that they can respond back to you.

I want a star wars series of caps. A black on white Imperial cog

A black on white rebel alliance symbol (this one is pretty awesome too)

Jedi Order symbol

a Mandolorian symbol

the sword over those keys seems like an odd choice, might be better to have that on the space bar rather than the logo and move the logo to another longer key like shift or backspace?

Acknown3 · « **Reply #644 on:** Sat, 06 April 2013, 16:37:28 »

Alright, I'll think about that. Just in case I order one and want to try out the other style, is there a place where I can order custom individual keycaps, or would I have to purchase a full set from WASD?

Edit: Just for reference, it was inspired by this design, but I decided to clean it up a little. I love how the sword looks because it's so different from the standard design and makes it pop out, so long as she can touch type (which I believe she can).

Edit 2: Hmm, I don't know if I like it as much. The Zelda theme is much less apparent unless you look at the modifier keys.

Here it is!

that would be better stretched across the entire keyboard. even though it would negate the outerspacebar thing
