This might help (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?13111-Armygroup-discussion-thread&highlight=armygroup+discussion) and like noodles said, you should definitely check out the wiki section for shopping overseas.

If you feel it's too much work then like I said before, check out ricercar's thread (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?17777-For-Sale-Cherry-MX-Yellow-keycaps-WASD-ARROWS-ESC-FKeys) for some homemade yellow WASD keycaps.  Don't know if he has any left but it's worth a shot.

I got another question, how much would you guys pay for a set of WASD yellow keycaps shipping included.

Why, is Ricecar's 8$ shipped (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?17777-For-Sale-Cherry-MX-Yellow-keycaps-WASD-ARROWS-ESC-FKeys) too expensive for you?

Here, save the trouble, though they are rather expensive. Cheaper than armygroup too, if all you want is the yellow keycaps only

Maybe it's worth a look ??! (I guess you need a buy agent because they ship only within malaysia :(

This is more expensive than the eBay link I posted, plus it does not include shipping to the rest of the world.

48 Malaysian ringgits = 15.802464 US$ (11.0390947 €) < 24.00$

From malaysia you are able to use DHL for delivery services. I think the only problem is to find a serious buy agent.

16USD is for the Keycaps. You need another 2.5USD for shipping to the agent.
Since the keycaps are light, registered airmail with padded evelope costs another 4 USD.

22.5USD in total. Cheaper than the BIN at eBay yes, but the ebay one comes with extra keypuller, red esc and a FILCO key

That's a good point.

Up to you, but I'd recommend against getting any of those sets if they are pad printed.  I got the lavender WASD from Elite Keyboards when I ordered my Leo, and I feel they were a waste for the $4.50 or so because they are pad printed.  The W is half worn off already, and that looks pretty bad next to the etched Leo keys.  Although they will probably look better once the entire lettering has worn off...

I've got original Filco ones that i never used. Been meaning to go back to my distro to trade for blue or red. I don't like yellow (sorry ricecar. =]) If you want them, I can sell them to you. Should be cheaper than any you've found so far. But let me settle my group buy sh*t first. I've had people send me wrong addresses. I ahve the Filco red esc key too that i do not use. Just drop me a pm with what price you're hoping to get them for and we'll discuss. Please don't lowball me, that's it. Coz i really meant to have them changed to a nicer colour but have not had the time.

Agents are blood suckers.

i might be a little while to reply you as I ahve more urgent things here to settle for the other members but I will reply. Always do. Probably in a few hours. i just got up from medication and I've a ton of mail to reply. Cheers.

You can pick up a wife on TaoBao.

Per Ripster's request, a couple of picks of the Elite Keyboards lavender WASD on my Leo 10keyless.  This is why I think pad printing sucks, especially uncoated.

These were the best I could manage with an iPhone 4 camera.  Also, OT for this thread, but you can see some of the keys appear brighter than others.  This is because they white infill on the laser etching has worn down more on some keys than others, most notably L and K vs G and H.  Eventually they will probably all look the same.

I was going to bid on those, but the guy told me they fit the arrow profile but not the WASD. I was looking at the blank green DAS WASD and found a thread that apparently posted pics that showed they didn't look so horrific in person, but the photo is no longer up. Does anybody have that saved anywhere?

Edit: Might have found it (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Das-Keyboard-Model-WASD-Professional/dp/B0052RCCIO/ref=sr_1_4?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1308555973&sr=1-4). Still looks blech.

I have both the yellow key set and the Blank key set. Both says R2 on the back of the keycap
