the RF would look better if the f keys went 4 orange, 4 black, 4 orange. the checkered look takes away from the classiness IMO.

but anyway, the black and orange looks great together

Sorry for the quality, but just arrived this morning, not 100% sure I'll keep them like that, but I like it for the moment, also have a complete white engraved set coming

dorkvader · « **Reply #152 on:** Fri, 30 December 2011, 12:20:00 »

Georgestorm, looks good!
Are the arrowkeys different coloured than the A-Z or it is just the picture? Also, where did you get the side printed blue keys? Are they good?

You're right - I've re-done the F-keys as you suggest, they look better.

I like the look of that filco. Think I may get some black keys for my leopold.

My WASD Keyboards with browns. I went a little overboard with the key options, and ordered a mix of blank, engraved, and laser printed keycaps. I have recently replaced the engraved letter and number keys in the picture with printed ones to match the others. It looks more cohesive for sure.

The custom print option at WASD Keyboards is very slick. Unless I'm mistaken, there is a $5.00 charge for a custom image (like a set up fee), but then you can get any number of keys printed with that image by paying just the base price of the key; but I might be wrong so don't quote me on that. I probably should have gotten the entire function row with the troll face guy, but wasn't smart enough at the time of ordering.

where do you get your caps from?? I'm also from the UK and am finding it really hard finding a decent place to buy keycaps from

Barn · « **Reply #167 on:** Tue, 10 January 2012, 16:23:27 »

Hey! I bought the keyboard from 'http://thekeyboardcompany.com' and I am planning to get a blank black set from there when they are back in stock. I highly recommend The Keyboard Co. It's hard to get special caps from the UK. I bought mine from http://wasdkeyboards.com and http://www.vendio.com/stores/E-sports-Gaming-equipments/ - all of these retailers have their own forums on here too.

Hazeluff, the one above the teamliquid is my favourite.

I just did a black/gray stagger on my unicomp (it's dvorak/blank). Pics to come if I can find a camera.

I love it too. Its the "mascot" from lucky star (anime). But then it hardly ever shows up in the anime.

Group bye section has some stuff. Group Buy round 4 hasn't really ended yet, you may still make it in time to put in an order. Im pretty sure most of the GB are worldwide.

Look at that bottom row ... Realforce style baby.

litster · « **Reply #180 on:** Thu, 19 January 2012, 20:27:04 »

Yes, Realforce style. Phantom is HaveANiceDay's idea, and he used Realforce 86U as an example to demonstrate how Phantom can use 1.5x modifiers from Cherry. It looks awesome!

Yes indeed.

The stuff I scribbled that's underneath my keyboard was working out the frequency response of a OP-amp I had to design. (I really shouldn't of needed to derive stuff from the equations I wrote down...)

Does it bother you the fact that Desko green shift is significantly smaller around the edges than the original beige shift from cherry board? It certainly bugged me quite fair bit when I fitted mine.

litster · « **Reply #187 on:** Wed, 25 January 2012, 22:55:13 »

Yeah, I noticed that as well. But it doesn't bug me much, as I am just so happy to see them on my keyboard, happy to have them in my possession :-). And after I spent so much time designing my acrylic case and putting the phantom prototype together, I learned to realize that, as simple as a keyboard, things sometimes just don't match up quite exactly as I expect them to, especially when we mix and match parts together. And I am kind of a perfectionist in a bad way.

Those look like KFORCE key caps. They're pad printed, but nice looking. See http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:17988 for a review. The PANIC key is from http://pimpmykeyboard.com.

You're welcome but I've read somewhere here that the quality isn't that great (since they're ABS with pad printing). IIRC, OP specifically stated that they were KForce from either eBay or Taobao.
