Post by: boost on Thu, 26 January 2012, 22:30:39
Looking for a set of original white filco ninja keycaps

http://www.amazon.com/Majestouch-2-Tenkeyless-Tactile-Keyboard-FKBN87M/dp/B005JC4PG4/ref=sr_1_sc_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1327675247&sr=8-3-spell (http://www.amazon.com/Majestouch-2-Tenkeyless-Tactile-Keyboard-FKBN87M/dp/B005JC4PG4/ref=sr_1_sc_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1327675247&sr=8-3-spell)

This is the caps I'm looking for.

I can pay for them or I got a set of SC2 ESC or Mod keys to that I can trade. also got a SP grab bag coming in that might have some useful keys one might want.

I have the white side printed pbt set from http://www.vendio.com/stores/E-sports-Gaming-equipments/ i'd be willing to trade, if you have a full set you are willing to part with, as its the only full set of cherry mx caps I have left.

note: they are more pure white than the filco caps, but they are also pbt. I dont know if either of those things sways your decision.

Those side-printed PBT keycaps from Qtan's store are probably better quality caps than the OEM Filco's.  But if you want original Filco keycaps, in order to have matching caps and board, I understand your motivation, and I see what you're trying to accomplish.  On the other hand, if you are looking for some keycaps to type on everyday, I would go with the PBT caps, as IMO they feel a little better than the stock Filco ABS caps.

For what it's worth, I wouldn't really care if you sent me the most random ugly assortment of keys as a trade, I'd only use them until round 4 actually goes through and I get me some doubleshots.

I love pbt caps, but I don't want my kb looking "off".

Does anyone have any pics of the pbt white on a white Filco. I seen a pic yesterday but it was a ****ty pic

Thanks

White PBTs look quite different than the white filco body. Here's a pic I found for you, just compare the white PBT to the white filcos around it:

I believe he posted that so you could compare the white keys on the keyboard in the middle row and middle column with the body of the white Filcos surrounding it. Which would be similar to the picture you are referring to.

metafour said it. Look at the blank "pure" white PBT on the black filco, and compare that pure white with the "dirty" white of the filco cases on either side of that pure white PBT caps. The difference in the two tones of whites are huge.

Authentic Filco keycaps. You can pick from white printed, white blank and black blank, but not ninja sadly.

Buy a white ninja and sell the board? I'm sure in the end it would work out the same as you paying for a set.
You may even be able to find a buyer first.
