Title: Hello from Saskatchewan!
Post by: GarTheConquer on Sun, 20 January 2013, 22:39:11

Hi guys!
 I got my first mech keyboard October 27. It's a DAS Ultimate with Blues. Just found out about this site today.  Am looking at getting some white key-caps to see how they look even though they are apparently out of style.

Welcome fellow Canadian! Be careful with your wallet once you lurk enough, you may crave more caps and boards than you ever though possible :D

Welcome to GH!

Like everyone else said staff away from the classifieds otherwise your wallet will hate you.  As for the white keycaps get PBT, they are more expensive but last longer than ABS.

burr... ah... welll... remember the PBT white blank caps they're selling are usually KBC made, which means they're not a PURE white, it's a BLUE/VIOLET shifted white...

A more neutral day-light white, can be had from WASD keyboards, they are however ABS, but that's fine since bright colors offset shine.
