Other questions...

4) A colored modifiers set with red, blue, or green text?

Yes, I want to know the answer to this one. I never bought one of their RGB sets with the black on colored modifiers, since I didn't like the way they looked so out of place. But subtle RGB fonts on pebble mods? Mmmm... Yes, please, I'll take five sets of those!

We should put in special requests for this, and maybe they'll start offering it as a standard package.

Harkens back to the old Omnikey days.

As usual, Zach at Unicomp was incredibly fast and accurate.

I only wish that they had a spacebar in pebble .....

Wait a second, what ordering "code" would that be?  Did you fire them a note asking for a special combination of brilliant white alphas with pebble secondaries?

Yes, you can use my photo if you want. Or, why not buy mine and save? I just put them on and didn't ever use them. What I really want is a green set and I did not know that anything but red was available when I bought them. Also, I will do international for $10 more, far cheaper than Unicomp.

Also, I specifically asked for a pebble Backslash/Pipe because I think it looks better that way. I have tried a pebble tilde but it just looks "off" somehow.

I'd go for the tilde being the secondary color as well.

But either way, red isn't my color of choice, green is.

Agreed. That would be a great option to compliment the default pearl/pebble keys.

Pebble Alts with green text are common. I have one pebble Ctrl with red text. And some special purpose keycaps with blue text. So all of these text colors have been available in the past.

They only do coloured legend sets for American boards :( No ISO

I don't know what I'm going to do to get replacement caps now... :'(

Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?

Couldn't you get a set of ANSI colored pebble/pearl caps and use your existing ISO specific black caps where needed? If I remember right, there should only be enter, shift(s) and one or two extra 1x keys that don't match. I'd think the 1x keys would look a little strange, but it wouldn't be terrible.

Mmm, could do. I think I will just buy some replacements for my missing ones from clicky keyboards for the moment and maybe get coloured alphas at some point.

They have pre-announced one, which is supposed to be out at the end of the year. It will be smaller than the IBM SSK. Layout looks funky IMO, but it's nice to see Unicomp doing something new, and a lot of people like tiny keyboards.
