Title: An idea for a group buy: RGB lettered Ctrl, Shift, and Alt
Post by: Pylon on Wed, 16 March 2011, 15:43:03
Hi,

Has anyone ever thought of doing a group buy for black or dark gray modifier keys with red, green, and blue lettering? It would be like the RGB keycaps here (http://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=252), except the lettering would be RGB and not the actual caps, which would be black or dark gray.

I think some Alps boards with double shot keys had something like that.

If you guys ever do a group buy, I wouldn't organize it since I'm strapped for cash and don't own a Cherry MX board (though I have a Cherry-MX stem compatible Gateway rubber dome) .

I'd probably throw in on those, I have a couple of sets of the Deskthority RGBs ordered too, but these would be cool.

Yep, but black instead of gray.
