Title: What colour keycaps should I get for my tenkeyless Filco? :)
Post by: foxer on Thu, 26 April 2012, 08:47:25: I'm not entirely sure what to buy. :< I'm so indecisive when it comes to making decisions so wanted your guys opinions on what to go for?

At the moment this is what my Filco looks like...

I'm considering either black blanks or white blanks with numerous novelty keycaps to go along with but not sure. D:

Opinions?

Post by: jblack801 on Thu, 26 April 2012, 11:40:51: +1 for black blanks

that'll be what I put on my poker.

Also, +1 for white blanks and gray modifiers.

I'd love to do that (White blanks and grey mods) but it'd mean buying two sets of full keycaps from WASD or somewhere. :<

Post by: jblack801 on Thu, 26 April 2012, 11:52:59: WASD will let you do individual key caps, you may be able to order a set of white, then just order the grays that you need in the set.

You could always shoot them an email or call them up to see if they'd give you any sort of deal after describing that you wanted to accomplish.

However, you may want to wait for ordering from them as they will be offering PBT soon. (that's what I'll be waiting for)

Just posted on their FB wall. They seem pretty fast with replies so I'm hoping for the best. :D Thanks.

Post by: foxer on Thu, 26 April 2012, 14:28:50: So I've figured a way out about the keycaps on WASD... My choice now is either...

Post by: Squelos on Thu, 26 April 2012, 17:48:10: The white on black looks more modern IMO.
The white and gray looks really old. It reminds me of old keyboards, such as model M's. But then, its your call :).
I would probably go for the white on black. All blank of course :). Or maybe just keep the modifiers.

...Unless you're going white, don't have a 104 board or yours is ISO layout. ;-)

There is no need. I'm going white plus I don't have a 104 board. Mines ISO layout.

Also they will have many new colors coming with these new PBT keys!
