KMAC with Otaku keycaps
« on: Sat, 20 October 2012, 20:05:08 »
Switched to some otaku caps to my KMAC Titanium keyboard today.  Any guess what those otaku keycaps are, and what keyboard they came from?  ;)

Whoah that's a nice looking board O_O They do look like Scarface caps... how heavy does it weigh, assuming they are metallic? I have no idea what board it comes from lol but that caps lock is really cool.
I love Elzy

They are not scareface. They are plastic caps.

Are they meant to look metallic or is it just the lighting?

black blank pbt from a das keyboard (das 1 i think?)

and it's just the lighting hitting off the texture that is giving it that look
No, he’s not around. How that sound to ya? Jot it down.

Demik is correct on both counts. They are from Das 2. There is a off-center stepped capslock, 1.25x mods, and a off-center stem 6.25x spacebar.  I used bounced flash for this picture and it made the keys very shiny.

Looking good, I almost thought I might see a preview of what the zinc caps would look like on a KMAC.

HolidaySHRUMP, you can see it in person if you come to our SP meetup this Saturday.  You still in Bellevue?

There are no cast aluminium space bars  or modifiers if I remember correctly!

Looking very nice Lit. What are you using in your keyboard rotation lately?

I was using a silver KMAC winkeyless 1 with cherry dyesub keycaps up until last night as I had to unplug it to bring it to the SP keyboard meetup tomorrow.  So I am using one of my Phantoms in a beige Filco case at home and a 45g Realforce 87U at work.

Wish I had paid attention to this thread. Bellingham is too much effort though even if I had saw the meetup. Haha
