Title: RGB Kits
Post by: aesthetics1 on Wed, 02 January 2013, 23:52:52: I recently ordered a set of WASD RGB mods and was unhappy with them. Looking for another set.

Regarding the Hashbaz's RGBY Kit - Does it fit properly on a Filco board?

Also, what is a ballpark estimate of a fair second-hand price on a set?

I haven't run across another white text on rgb mods - if another exists that I'm overlooking I'd appreciate a link :). (PBT, or ABS)

Thanks!

Post by: hashbaz on Wed, 02 January 2013, 23:56:29: There was an earlier white text RGB set from a group buy run by aggiejy. They use the standard SP font though, as opposed to the Cherry replica font used by mbc's and my sets.

The aggiejy sets are typically $20 or $25, though they don't come up for sale very often any more. I imagine posting a WTB thread would turn some up.

The Cherry replica RGBYs are usually more. $30-$35 or even $40 is typical, I'd say.

Post by: esoomenona on Wed, 02 January 2013, 23:58:44: If you're using the original Filco caps, they will be shorter in height. Aggiejy also had a white on RGB set. His blue was lighter. I think hashbaz had winkey and winkeyless sets. You'd need a winkey set. Someone else might help better with price, but roughly around $25-35 or so.

Post by: aesthetics1 on Thu, 03 January 2013, 00:04:32: Thanks for the quick replies.

So the Hashbaz is cherry profile and sits a bit lower? That would probably bug me!

I guess I'd probably be after the aggiejy set to fit the profile of the stock Filco keycaps.

Appreciate the help.

Post by: esoomenona on Thu, 03 January 2013, 00:06:58: They're both SP profile, which is similar to Cherry profile but with some differences. Either way, both will be shorter than Filco caps. For OEM profile RGB, the only I can think of would be NIQMODS and those won't have legends and will cost you more if you can find.them.

Post by: hashbaz on Thu, 03 January 2013, 00:13:22: If you need to match the profile of your stock Filco caps, wasdkeyboards.com might be an option. But the legends won't be white.

Yeah :(. Unfortunately I wasn't really happy with the WASD keycaps. Really looking for white legends and something that matches the profile. Oi!

I might end up having to replace the keycaps, and then add some RGB later, haha.

Doubleshot, no. Auto painted, yes they're called NIWMODS, but they won't come cheap.

I very much doubt it. I am not sure where they would come from.

You folks are probably better off buying a cherry/sp profile keyset first.

Oh yeah... EK sold them. I think Reaper had a set and said they were fairly mediocre.
