Title: Rubber key cap grips?
Post by: Disposable Hero on Mon, 06 February 2012, 16:54:04

I remember seeing somewhere on the forum these cool little textured keycap covers that you could put on top of the caps for extra grip(WASD for example). Was also wanting to know where you could get those, and (I'm probably just dreaming) if they made them in a clear so if you have a backlit keyboard you could still see through them?

I haven't seen the key covers, but I know that Plasti-dip comes in clear, maybe that would work?

eeehhh...would rather have something a bit more fancy..the grips I saw had little nubs on it for better grip...and if I recall the pic I saw they were a bright orange...just can't remember wher I saw it.

The only place I've ever seen these is on the new Corsair keyboards. I believe these were textured and shaped, though. Pretty sure I'd hate them being different to all of the rest of the keys, though. The difference would make it different to type, and I don't fancy changing a few keycaps every time I switch between gaming and typing.

no these were'nt actual keycaps...just a little cap that went across the top of the keycap(like a hat) and they are made of rubber or silicone and had a a textured top, but no numbers or letters on them..
