Keycaps
« on: Sun, 17 August 2014, 18:47:59 »
I have a Poker ll, and was wondering if anyone knew of any sets of glow in the dark keys, meaning full sets, since I didn't get the backlit version. Thanks for any help.

The only one I know of is the the Pimpmykeyboard/SP keys: http://keyshop.pimpmykeyboard.com/products/specialty-custom-keys/glow-in-the-dark-dcs-keys

Those can be a full set of 1u keys, you just won't had modifiers. They are ok looking, a little green tinged as all glow in the dark keys are. Their glow doesn't last very long though.
Someday somebody will best me, but it won't be today, and it won't be you.

[Edited to preseve my dignity.... Apparently they DO have glow in the dark legends on the modifier keys, but not the whole set. It's certainly not a boring set....]



I wouldn't bother trying to get glowing caps, but rather install LED's in the Poker II. It's backlit-ready, you just need to solder LED's into place. IMHO, the thick PBT caps look nice with the backlighting leaking out around them. I would recommend using white LEDs, but you can put any colour in there that you like.

I installed these ones in my KBT Pure: http://www.wayjun.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=443

Buying more keycaps,
it really hacks my wallet,
but I must have them.
