Title: What font do leopold key caps come printed with?
Post by: filphil on Tue, 20 March 2012, 17:05:29

I'm looking to order a set of colored replacement key caps for my leopold keyboard.  Does anyone know what font do the legends use so that I can order a matching set?

I've emailed elitekeyboards for a replacement shift and scroll lock caps but they claim they only stock replacements and not extras and couldn't sell them to me.  My question is how would anyone go about needing a replacement for a "broken" cap?  These things don't really take abuse in that sense.

Some time, some keycaps will be having some manufacturing defects out of the box. Also, keycaps will eventually wear done as you use, especially those ABS keycaps.

I know that one.  I'll write it up in my fonts thread or you can just look it up in my wiki.

Holy crap ripster. You truly are the #1 expert. Amazing and a little disturbing at the same time ^_~

But finding a matching set will be difficult. Until the new one ships of course.

someone likes the fonts on the Leopolds?!

I just replaced my Rosewill with a Leopold and I miss the font on the Rosewill!
