Capslock mod on a Das?
« on: Wed, 02 January 2013, 21:41:05 »
I'm just beginning with my keyboard modding / keycap collecting addiction... and I was wondering:

Is it possible to get a Caps Lock key that has the indented spacer on it like this for a Das keyboard? I'm not sure of all the lingo (center stem capslock or something?), but a picture's worth a thousand words.



Preferably I'd like to get a black blank one, but just knowing what you guys would call such a key would be immensely helpful.

Second question:

On a Das Ultimate (blank keys, no Fn key), is there a special name for the modifier keys, or are they just the normal size ones? And what size is the spacebar? Is that also a standard size or not?

There is a bit of discussion about centre-stemmed stepped caps lock (for such they are called) keycaps here: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=37587.0

Unfortunately they are not listed on techkeys.us site atm, perhaps they are out of stock.

You might glance through the current group buys, and/or have a look to see if anyone is selling one from the recent SP crap bags.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Wow, can we get a ban for this guy? All he's done is post advertisements to these Amazon links to overpriced keys

They are sold out, but may have some white on beige left (I am using one now). However, I still want the white on black and am considering fronting the money to make it happen.

I'd love a blank stepped black one personally (and maybe a white as well while we're at it since they seem somewhat hard to find)
