why would you need a tsangan kit for black on white cherry caps? Korean keyboards were made to fit cherry corp sets with 1x5 mods, 7x spacebars and stepped capslocks (off-center, by design). I happen to have exactly those pieces from my other sale thread.... if I can find it somewhere...

that would be awesome, its because the keycaps i am using dont have the right size keys for modifiers, spacebar etc they arn't designed for korean board, and the closest color match i know of would be black on white, unless there are any form of grey, graphite sort of colors out there.

I have a few sets of black-on-gray/white/beige/whatever Cherry doubleshots with 1.5x modifiers and 7x spacebars and the off-center Caps Lock in various stages of ABS senescence.  I was planning on touching these up by trying that whole retrobright thing at some point, but they still don't look completely awful without it.  I can take some pictures if you're interested, or anyone else for that matter.

there's a quick snapshot, and the colors aren't exactly accurate, but i included the filco with the whitest cherry set on it for comparison.  that set can pretty much be considered "white" without any discoloration, so that should at least give you a relative impression of how the other sets look.
