Title: Superhero keycaps
Post by: Capitalistix on Tue, 16 October 2012, 12:20:56: Ive seen some floating around, custom ones like Click Clack skulls but theyve got a little generic masked hero on them. Well, I really really like them and was wondering who created them and if he/she had made any for buckling spring? Any info would help! Thanks! =]

Correct, only in MX. Unless he made some that I missed.

I have the only BS and Topre Superhero which will not be released since the superhero series has stopped and will not be produced again. There will be hope for robogeek but that's another story.

Thanks

I'm pretty sure I posted a picture of my superhero a while back when I bought his Poker, but I'll post it again at some point. I may have just gotten a new board which I'll put it on and post pics once I get it :D

OEM, the one on mine had the stem slightly askew so it's off center when you look right at it. Doesn't keep it off my key cap show board though.

Hmm, it looks darker than my purple. That's why I ask.

(Attachment Link)

Yes, it looks exactly like that outside. The sun was behind the cap when I took the photo in my last post.

Edit - Taken outside with the sun in front lol

Edit 2 - Well maybe it is blue lol, but it looks in between to me :)
