Title: Looking for PBT/DS "funny" replacements for F-ROW
Post by: phetto on Sun, 10 June 2012, 08:43:47

Hi, im buying a new Deck Legend in a few days.

The first thing I will do is to switch the caps, I can't stand looking at them, so ugly.

So what i was thinking of was if someone had some ideas for what keycaps would look slick on a Deck Legend board, with these caps as its core - ebay link (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Counter-Strick-PBT-Custom-Cherry-MX-Key-Caps-19-keys-included-/330745232289?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item4d01f3bba1#ht_500wt_1413)

I had some ideas of blank PBT at the numpad, some black motive caps at the function-row...

plz give me ideas

You can buy one of the extra Billiards doubleshot keysets that will undoubtedly be available once it is through with production. Alternately, the Portal GB round2 looks nice.

Both of these (I believe) should work on your funciton row.

Also keep in mind that your deck keycaps are (mainly) PBT.

Never owned a deck so I can't say from experience but the profile of the deck keys might also be different, no biggie if you rarely use Function keys like most.  I've started doing the same as you which lead to me buying up a bunch of GB keys (like Pi, Meme, Billiard, GH, etc.)

Cant find more than 6 different PBT caps at ebay, and the GH sale section is a damn jungle :D
