All Cherry (except stock space) and esc. Cherry centered caps, ctrl, alt doubleshots.

.

get ur cherry spacebar modded so it would fit nicely with the modifiers! :)

KBC black is not quite as dark as Cherry. The flash made it look more so though.

if u don't mind speding a few extra bucks, get urself a WASD light gray space bar. Will improve the color balance "a bit" more. well, better than stock filco white for sure. not sure how well it fairs with the white in moogle kit.

I am under the impression this spacebar is from a moogle kit. Its not the stock filco that came with my board I know that.

WASD / KBC orange is pretty bright, but is also hyped up by the flash a little bit. I have some older picture somewhere posted taken in daylight with my Russian set and orange keys.

My mint green engraved pbt caps from taobao finally arrived. I don't have a picture of them yet because I only have a cellphone camera and it will not do them any justice. Maybe if I take the board outside...

Got a brand new set of white on black cherry doubleshots in the mail today - I need a moogle kit for a handful of keys so I haven't replaced more than the R4s on my filco. Check out the contrast between the DS and the ****-tastic pad printed rosewill keys on my filco.

The point of those doubles is really the thickness of them. Texture is... well... enjoy while you still can.

^ Looking good.  I like the simple 2 tone color more than with a bunch of different colors on the modifiers although sometimes that works too depending on the board. lol

Thanks guys. I'm not really into the crazy boards with colors all over the place. To each is own of course. Most I will do is like an RGB kit. I do love the red esc. though it really sets it off.
