Title: White legend , black Buckling spring caps
Post by: Capitalistix on Wed, 17 October 2012, 15:27:02
Anyone know where I could get some? I checked unicomp but the only black set they sell seems to be unprinted. Do people regularly have these for trade or something? Or do they simply not exist?

Since they are dye subbed keys you must print darker than the material, thus white on black is not possible with an M, unless they made pad printed/doubleshots for some odd reason, though highly unlikely.

Only the M13 was available in black as far as I know, but I'm not really an IBM person... they seem to be quite a lot more uncommon so good luck.

IIRC, the M13 is pad printed.

$#!T! That thing is awesome looking! Originally I wanted the black keycaps like that on my SSK but now... now I almost want to grab an M13 and chop it sown to make an M13 SSSK! ARRRGH This always happens, I think Im set with my boards and then someone comes out of nowhere and hits me with a board Ive never seen and do want. This kind of stuff never happened in pokemon, you know why? There were guides, Pokedexs. We need a KEYBOARDDEX I would carry one of those badboys around with me everywhere!
