Title: [Steelseries 6GV2] Custom Keycaps
Post by: imadeanaccounttoseepics on Fri, 28 September 2012, 20:01:52
Hello!

I'm looking for some Steelseries 6GV2 custom keycaps because my keycaps right now are mostly worn out and somehow my "F" key broke.. The inside of the keycap where It fits Into the mechanical switch cracked entirely on one side..

Whatever keycaps set you guys have I'll consider getting. The more choices I have the better!
Any color, Any amount of keys per set, Etc!

Thanks!

Qtan should have or be able to get you a set made for your board possibly in PBT too.

There are plenty of PBT sets on Taobao, so...

Beware that 7G and 6Gv2 have different right Shift.

Yeah that's what I'm trying to find!
I just realized now that I put this thread In Keyboards rather than Keycaps section.. Fail.

nah, there's no real distinction, the sections are only there because keycaps posts are more picture oriented.

"Important note: Not taking orders at the moment" - I guess they ain't taking orders anymore?

Quick question..

http://www.ebay.com/itm/White-Cherry-MX-Blank-Keycaps-39-Set-Keyboard-Key-Caps-/110915106328?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item19d30e3618
I see that It shows an image of a keycap puller, Does It come with the keycap set even though It doesn't say It In the description?

PBT Is the better than ABS right? I found another seller that has the same a set that's two less keycaps but same price BUT they're PBT compared to WASD's ABS.

I much prefer PBT to ABS, though it's certainly up to you.

Anything order from China right now will be delayed, there is 'National Golden Week' holiday. If you need something sooner, just get a blank single key from wasd and order nicer pbt set after the holiday is end.

There's a US seller that has PBT keys, Probably just order from him since I don't want to wait!

Wonder if that explains why an item I ordered from Qtan on the 17th was only shipped yesterday.

When I get anything from the US to me here in Quebec. It takes anywhere from a week to two weeks. Although there are the random 3+ weeks that just seem to sit at customs forever.

o the 30 days that i was told at the post office does not include customs. I think what the basically saying is that you package can take up to 1 month to get from where you sent it in the us to that country after which they have no control over it.
