Post by: rudyzhou2 on Thu, 02 August 2012, 16:19:13: u can buy from taobao now since they started accepting international credit cards, u just have to communicate with the sellers before hand for shipping (which is usually not expensive, i got a large batch of caps for $20 shipping and quick in less than 10 days)
Title: Re: LF: Translucent keycaps like this.
Post by: Kirades on Sun, 12 August 2012, 01:05:50: But isit trustable? I wonder! hahas.

Post by: aeta on Sun, 12 August 2012, 01:28:38: Yeah I would say its trustable. Even more so with a reliable taobao agent.

Post by: Lord de Seis on Wed, 15 August 2012, 04:47:47: someone should start a group buy for these! i think a ton of people would be interested.
Title: Re: LF: Translucent keycaps like this.
Post by: suprsmo on Sun, 19 August 2012, 01:30:44: These are the only transparent ones I have seen. I have a set of the WASD and esc.

http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/info/KE-NIQ-CLEAR-WASD/1948/

They also do arrows + esc

http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/info/KE-NIQ-CLEAR-ARROW/1948/

Not sure where they have sourced these from though.
And not sure if they ship outside of Aus..
Title: Re: LF: Translucent keycaps like this.
Post by: suprsmo on Sun, 19 August 2012, 01:31:23: Note they say Filco profile.. but they are far closer to a cherry profile than OEM filco, das, leo etc.
