Title: Cherry MX blank transparent/clear keycaps
Post by: Eccentricity on Wed, 21 December 2011, 04:16:01

I have a brand-new BlackWidow Ultimate, and I've been looking around for some blank, completely clear transparent keycaps.
I've seen some "smoky" translucent keycaps with printed characters, but I would much prefer totally clear and blank keycaps that fit Cherry MX stems, if at all possible.

Does anyone have, or know where to acquire such a thing? I don't even need the entire keyboard's worth - just the tenkey section would be lovely. However, if the only way to get these is through buying a whole 104/87 key set, then just point me in the right direction!

Thanks!

There were these specific caps available in DS group buy 3, I have 10 caps...if you like I can send you a pic once im home from uni tonight...maybe someone has leftovers, or possibly you can contact 7bit to see if he can include this set again in round4.

Sure, post a pic! I'm willing to go for the smoky ones if they're my only option, but I would prefer totally clear ones if at all possible.

jpm804, I have seen one of feng's more recent threads, but it looks like only the smokey "dark clear" keycaps are still available. I might be wrong though, so a pointer the right direction would be helpful!

I'm interested in the cluster if you still have it?

I'm looking for clear keycaps as well.  I wish I could get them with all the same profile to fit nicely on my Deck.

I'm totally new to the MX world but thought I may be able to help with this particular issue.  I guess since I'm new I cant post a link, but check out:

Great find, especially the different colors.  The clear would look awesome on my 82 key Deck with the translucent housing.
