Title: Where to get keycaps like RF 10th Anniversary grey for 86U?
Post by: Surly73 on Mon, 16 January 2012, 11:17:08
I've seen some pics of the RF 10th anniversary grey PBT keycaps and I think they look really good.  I notice that EK doesn't have grey and, as it is, I'm not sure that the available 87U keycaps would fit on an 86U properly (plus the unnecessary windows and front-printed embedded numpad markings on 87U keys).

Is there a best source for these grey PBT caps, shipped to Canada or possibly CONUS (bouncing off of a friend)?

I believe they are called 10th anniversary model for a reason, they want your moneh...

In other words, buy a new 10th anni 87U.

Not strictly true. It appears as though RF are starting to release some 'pro' models (China only at the moment).

Only the 104 at the moment but I would have thought that we will see other models wearing them too.

Yeah - not going to happen.  At one time the only way to get the yellow keycaps everyone was fussing about was to get a 91UBY (and live with the screwball layout) but now you can order them from EK.  Maybe it's just a matter of time.
