Title: F and J keycaps
Post by: Skoobs on Sun, 13 November 2011, 23:27:23

i want to get keycaps for the F and J keys on my Das, and was wondering if any are available. i would really love to get something like the Clack Factory black skull keycaps to make locating the F and J keys faster. does a product like this exist? or will i have to make my own (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:23722)?

I think the most noticeable available are either center dot nub, or the scooped style on Cherry keycaps. I've also noticed that on some sets the bar style nub is right on the lower edge and is much less pronounced than it could be.

You could buy deep dish key caps from a Cherry G80-3000 if somebody sells his.

wasd is cool in that you could buy the "dot" or the "underline" version of f/j, blanks seperately.

I wonder if I am one of the only people here who would prefer to have non-altered f and j keys. Because of the way I type they actually do me no good having them be special nubbed or anything like that, in fact I personally just find it bothersome to the touch. When I make my custom keyboard I plan on using no nubbed keys at all.

When I rearranged my unicomp to Dvorak, the U and H keys didn't have nubs. Also J is hardly used, and F isn't that much either, so it's much less noticeable.

I plan on purchasing a completely blank set of keycaps, no nubs. And perhaps I can get them laser or etched later on by WASD or something, I will have to talk to him once he can do front face laser/etching.
