Title: [SOLD] Gold-colored zinc key caps (37-key + Esc + 1.25 mods) - $55 shipped
Post by: gimpster on Sat, 22 September 2012, 16:52:31
SOLD

These keys have been very lightly used and show no signs of wear. I have the 37-key set, 3 x 1.25 blank modifiers, and a Filco logo Esc key. I'm asking $55 shipped for all of it. I would prefer to sell this as a set. I also have a set of gold-lettered black PBT keycaps that look awesome with these keys, available here (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=35832).

I'll bet these with those gold labeled PBT keys were quite a pair.  Do you have any pics of them together?

Right you are about that. It was a very stunning pair. :)

Are these Zinc plated plastic, or are they solid zinc key caps, please?

Sorry for my slow reply. With kids going back to school, I've come down ill this week.

These are solid zinc keys, as stated by balanar. Here's a picture of the back. The keys in this picture are not mine, but mine look the same. Some keys have the slots cut all the way through, others have the bounding ring. There was no perceptible difference in feel for me between the two styles. These keys fit snug on my keyboard, just like the authentic Cherry keys I have, which is great because the last thing you want is a loose key cap. :)

Oh, and I'm feeling particularly crappy with this illness today, so I'm lowering the price in hopes that some good Karma will come my way. ;)

any chance you'd combine these with the gold font keycaps for, ohhhh, let's say 70? You'd save on the free shipping you were gonna do.

I guess it went through as an email (I didn't realize you could do that on the new forums). The gist of it was that the PBT caps already sold, but I could do these for $50 if you're still interested. And if you want to recreate the same look I had above, the gold-on-black PBT sets are still available through a couple of people, but the gold key caps aren't being made anymore. I've got them with me today, I've got 3.5 hours to make it to the Post Office. ;)

yeah I didn't know you ˘ould do that either. I saw that the PBT $old.
how about 49.99? I a$$ume they won't $hip out today. pm/email me your paypal and i'll $end you the ˘ash.

kind of $ad about the PBT as that was a good pri˘e on them too.

I've got the stock rosewill caps on so some keys may as well be blanks.
