Has anyone seen the Portal key caps in red or black? Do/can these exist :D

Hmm, in China, there is everything. Have you checked taobao?

I still have an unopened set of white that I'll figure out what to do with sometime.

Are you selling or just holding?

I'm still considering. If I don't come up with a way to use them, I'll sell at no profit, but organizing something that's fair and cheap is difficult, and I don't want to get into that right now.

There's a good chance I'll put them on a keyboard. Maybe I'll have one for each row on an ergodox or something.

I really only want the single man dropping into a portal for Esc, but I really want it white on red key or white on black key. I wouldn't mind having the keys for future keyboard purchases.

Remember: white on red or white on black can't bu dye-sublimated (like the white ones are) You'd need doubleshot (you only get one colour) or pad-printed (wear off) for that colour scheme.

These were made for a group buy here a couple months ago, so if you wanted another color scheme you'd have to get them custom made through SP.
Luckily for you, I only ever use 12 out of the 13 keys in the set because I have something else on escape, so I might be willing to let go of that one key you want.
