No I mean red/green/blue ones. :)

MKC has never made colored zinc keycaps. Maybe you meant aluminum ones?

The text and pictures on the keys, can I ask how long lasting it is?

how has it been done?

Cheers.

It's laser-etched. It would be durable for sure. :)

Don't worry, you're in good hands with Feng.  He always checks each order to make sure it's the items you want.

Its mentioned that a printed 86 key (spacebar not included) set costs $167 in the first post. I figure 104 key sets are not offered and that you'll have to individually buy the missing keys if that's what you are looking for.

It would be $4 for USPS first class, or $17 for USPS priority.

MKC doesn't sell these zinc keys for numpad.

Is it a 30" monitor? I'm always thinking to get one, but just too expensive.

Sure. For less than 10x zinc keycaps, shipping would be:

USA/Canada -- USPS first class $4
USA -- USPS Priority $6
Canada -- USPS priority $13
International -- USPS first class $5
International -- USPS priority $17

The OP said: "And then MKC should be able to make them out in the middle of October."

So I guess add the shipping lead time to that.

The answer to your essay is most likely the Ottoman Empire, or perhaps Cortez. And if all else fails, write all about the Silk Road! G'luck on the essay Feng!

question: If I want a blank "WASD" set, which row caps do I order? There are technically 5 rows of standard keys but only 4 are listed. Is row 4 (esc row) the same as the number row?

Any chance you could take a late order from me for a blank backspace key?
Would these be ready in time to ship with my Ti spacebars. Happy to cover if it increases shipping cost of course

Okay, here's my deal. I have the standard 33 key set in gold. I'd like to order the modifiers in silver, but I specifically DO want the Tilde, - and + as well as \ but DO NOT need the 9 on the right hand side. IE No print screen, insert, Del ETC.

I've got a Rosewill RK-9000BK. First question is, that's pretty standard, right? these modifiers should fit fine?

Second question is for the Tilde down to L CTRL over to R CTRL (no space, I know) and then up to Backspace and over to - are the keys I want. Would it be cheapest to get JUST those keys, or would it be worth it to just get the whole 33 key WYSE kit? How much would adding 1-0 be?

If it will be a pain in the ass to get this info, sorry, but i'm hoping you'll just have the info on hand and be able to crunch the numbers in your head.

EDIT: NVM my wife just put the kaibosh on any keycap buying in the near future when she found out how much my current keycaps cost.

Hello,

I am interested in picking up a modifier kit, but I would want the tilde, \ and ESC keys.
Is this possible? I didn't see those options in the price list. I'd prefer not to need to get blanks to fill those spots.

Thanks!

Thanks!

If you get a blank modifier set, the 4 F keys have the same key profile as the Esc and the tilda. The backward slash \ has the same profile as the Tab key, so you can get a blank tab for that.
