Blank Keycaps

I know they look super 1337.. and feel way better than regular keycaps..

But,  is it too ostentatious.. ?

At the office they think I'm "joking". That I "need legends". That I'm "showing off".

But if you can blind type the only thing I need  is the two nipples on the f and the j and blanks for the rest. Touch typing all the way.

Blank caps are AWESOME.

People never believe me that I can even type special symbols without looking..

Stops people from using your keyboard, especially if you have an unconventional layout.
"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

Colleagues go sit behind my desk not expecting it. Then they look down and they are all like "@@@#$!@#$!" and they give up, walk away and give me that look for a week or so. :D

Damn right. With their weak fingers attempting to get keystrokes appear on their pesky screens. The numbers 104 and 87 don't ring a bell. And those call themselves "office clerks". It's a wonder they are able to send mails now and then.
