I found one of these:

The build quality is solid enough and the board shows little signs of wear apart from a few spots on the USB connector. The caps, though, are well... meh. I removed the ESC key, and noticed that they're pincer stems, and not the standard Cherry MX crosses. My question, is there anywhere to buy replacement caps with pincer stems? Something with a bit of colour in it would be nice. :smile:

Isn't the G83 a rubberdome?
Anyway, I suspect the keycaps are similar to the ones on my Olivetti. I can take a picture if you need it, but I would still recommend grabbing a WASDkeyboard if you want some colour. Their custom work is awesome.
Like so:

Don't worry about it dorkvander. I'm not looking to buy another keyboard (happy with my Realforce for the moment). I was looking for something cheap for the G83, maybe just a replacement ESC key. My isn't to keep the board, but to clean it up and give it to a friend.
