Title: Space invader caps
Post by: noisyturtle on Fri, 11 January 2013, 23:03:32
Where could I find space invader caps, specifically colored ones such as on the specialty boards IE media buttons as on this Right Touch Stillfile http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-Right-Touch-StillFile-RT8251C-Clicky-KeyBoard-SPACE-INVADER-KEY-Switch-/181035365801?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item2a268c75a9 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-Right-Touch-StillFile-RT8251C-Clicky-KeyBoard-SPACE-INVADER-KEY-Switch-/181035365801?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item2a268c75a9) or shall I simply have to be patient to find another donor board?

I thought this was about keycaps with (http://canadianonlinegamers.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Space-Invaders-Characters-v.-2.jpeg)
These on them.
I was more excited, but am still interested.

It's certainly worth snagging a SI board as an enthusiast, and you can find cheaper ones on Ebay pretty reliably for around $30-40. They feel kind of like blues with a softer click. Definitely a unique piece of KB history. I'm probably getting my hopes too high for a replica kit though.
