STH, Yes, I got them custom made up by QWERkeys. I asked him if he could make a glider, so I rendered one in LaTeX and experted it to .JPG for him using imagemagick. They came out really well, and someone should do a GB so I'm not the only one with some.

Here are some more pictures of my cherry green doubleshots:

Just keep your eye out for them on ebay, they are from old TA Royal Alpha typewriter.

They look really good there.

Thanks to HolidayShrimp! It's even whiter than my Ducky.

Thank you sir!

That's really pretty Reaper. I love it

Ducky Rabbit?

reaper · « **Reply #1211 on:** Wed, 17 October 2012, 14:09:50 »

Thanks Sifo and to Eric, that's a Ducky 1087 TKL with white Ninja keycaps. =P

ekw808 · « **Reply #1212 on:** Wed, 17 October 2012, 14:16:50 »

Ah I see, it looks so clean!

SmallFry · « **Reply #1213 on:** Wed, 17 October 2012, 15:16:05 »

How does the Ducky's quality feel compared to your Filcos Reaper? I haven't heard much about their new lines besides that the ALPS variants are still shaky on quality.

^ those scarface keycaps are matchless

Here is a melting Vader I've been molding and carving, it's still wax hence the crappy picture (and the weird colour!)
I plan to come up with a functionnal keycap any time soon

I'd like to place it on the Esc and tilt/rotate to make it look at me. Ideally it would have translucent eyes
I'll keep you updated on further improvements

Computer-Lab in Basement · « **Reply #1216 on:** Wed, 17 October 2012, 18:01:55 »

Very nice Batmann. Hope the cap comes out well!

Sifo · « **Reply #1217 on:** Wed, 17 October 2012, 19:19:05 »

Yeah, gl Batmann that looks very good so far. Can't wait to see the finished product

moonprismpwr · « **Reply #1218 on:** Wed, 17 October 2012, 19:34:41 »

That actually looks pretty cool melted, Batmann. Just reminded me of Cthulhu and thought maybe that would be a fun project for someone to do in the future ^^

That's a 1087 so QC back then wasn't up to par to let say.. Filco just yet. The new YOTD however has shown substantial improvement over any of their previous models.

As for their ALPS line, I have nothing good to say so no comments. lol

SmallFry · « **Reply #1220 on:** Wed, 17 October 2012, 21:26:07 »

Glad to hear their YOTD improved, but I'm really after an ALPS board someday...

I must confess you gave me the idea and luckily I had some on my desk

I'd love to get my hands on one of those skulls sometime. Ah money, you slay me.

Anyone here like Dolch?

reaper · « **Reply #1228 on:** Thu, 18 October 2012, 15:52:45 »

Yeah that looks pretty cool. Just hope they aren't too expensive when you finally roll them out.

I am sure that they will reflect the effort and be well worth the money!

Lets hope so! The 5 colour cap is in progress! That is going to be the motherload of all sweet keycaps!

apple green and white is pretty damn good

triumph adler made by cherry. electric typewriter keys compatible with MX.

they're the new dolch

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #1235 on:** Thu, 18 October 2012, 17:05:25 »

Cherry doubleshot originals. New Dolch... hmn, perhaps. I got in on the ground floor at $20 a set average. No sucker.

Batmann · « **Reply #1236 on:** Thu, 18 October 2012, 17:08:27 »

knowing this I assume these are not easy to find, am I correct?

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #1237 on:** Thu, 18 October 2012, 17:11:17 »

Should be easy to find. Thousands were commercially produced and hardly anyone wants old typewriters so they can be had for cheap. All the models I have gotten so far have had MX or M7 Cherry switches, so the typewriters are pretty damn nice too. Some of the later Gabriele models have MY though.

Batmann · « **Reply #1238 on:** Thu, 18 October 2012, 17:15:12 »

gonna have a look on ebay, thanks ^^

The keys go well with the silver case - MX blacks?

I like that backspace key, if that is what it is (with the arrow with X in it) :)

Yeah, it's a backspace. You can see what the full set looks like, below.

He does take better pictures than me, though.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #1245 on:** Fri, 19 October 2012, 10:15:17 »

Actually it's a delete key technically... backspace is right next to it. Though I don't get it since they both seem to do the same thing, why 2 different key?

Backspace doesn't white-out the previous space. Delete does.

Try it out as a typewriter!

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #1248 on:** Fri, 19 October 2012, 10:52:40 »

Type writer is not self correcting, then what? The Alpha I just got is actually functional and I played with it a bit. As far as I can tell they both do the same thing, go back one space. Can't delete ink from paper.
I guess if you are quick it deletes from memory before it types it out, as there is some delay between keypress and the letters being printed.

Only thing I can think of then is multiple key-press functions associated with each key.
