I'd be down for one.  I think it's a pretty cool looking key puller right there.

Just wanted to say that the WASD Lavender keycaps are a bit bigger/taller since they are intended for the FILCO keyboard. It's not really an issue for me in FPS games and typing,  but it might bother some who want that flush setup with their Leopolds.

It'd be cool if elitekeyboards put those pink Leopold WASD keys in stock. I'd be down for those.

Yeah, that's also on their site. Along with full size Leopolds.

Those pink keys are hideous.  If I were EK I'd stick with the filco ones, too.

Ah, I misread.  Unless that's a really bad pic, those look horrible. Bad dye sub by Unicomp?  The "A" looks smeared, and that shade of pink, uggghhh.

Title: Elitekeyboards Sells Only Filco WASD?

It seems like EK needs more staff; or maybe at least right now they're just swamped in filling all the current orders and hence don't have time for stuff like this.  But then you wonder what about all the time they had before their stock of leo's showed up and why they weren't proactive then.  Who knows.

Well, the one from the Leopold Tenkeyless Blue is Univers. The one from the 'Cloud of Boobs' looks pretty much like Century Gothic or Twentieth Century, not sure though.

I'll trust ya on that one since I don't have a Leopold in front of me.  The G and R looks pretty distinctive.

Now Univers in the Key Reference wiki unless someone else chimes in.

Well, it's actually the Univers 55 Oblique, not the ER Univers.

I just ordered the WASD's from EK.  They're out of the pullers though.  Harumph.

Good eye on the fonts.

Am I the only one that is shocked about there only being WASD and no ESDF?

I'm not old or anything but ESDF was the way to go and personally I find it has a lot more potential keys surrounding it.

Tribes 2 anyone? Quake2?

HalfLife changed it all..

That's Arial you posted. Univers is different.

This is Univers:

Old Apple keyboards used Univers Italic.
