Title: Where can I get yellow caps like this?
Post by: Koeitje on Mon, 21 January 2013, 20:24:48

I'm looking for yellow keycaps for my wasd, arrow keys and escape key. I'm currently using orange ones that I got with the rest of the double-shot caps in a groupbuy a while ago:

It probably will be impossible to find double shot keys with the exact same font, so I'm also up for double shot ones with arrows on it or blank ones (my last choice to be honest). I've find a double-shot awesome face, but the cap is $3 while the shipping is $5 or something...

order blanks from SP, $1 per cap. it's probably the best you'll be able to do.

SP? I'm looking at blanks on wasdkeyboards, they also cost $1.


edit: ah signature plastics, the company that made my current caps.

they'll be the wrong profile.

You'll want to look at the DCS - ABS pdf and look for yellow keys -- 3 in row 3 and 1 in row 2 i believe but double check the following pages:


http://www.keycapsdirect.com/key-capsinventory.php Read EVERYTHING on that page and this one: http://www.keycapsdirect.com/faq.php

Ignore the minimum - they WILL sell you keys out of inventory @ $1 each.

wasdkeyboard's keys will be the wrong profile? I need 4 row 1, 3 row 2, 1 row 3 and 1 row 4 if I'm not mistaken. Anyone know a ballpark number for shipping to Europe?

Different font though.

Keycaps from WASD and original Filco yellows will be the wrong profile (afaik). SP uses their own DCS profile, best bet is to inquire about the ones here:

row 1 for esc, 2 and 3 for your wasd.

Wasnt there a groupbuy for this set?

Yes, it was the orange R3 gamer set. I'd send you these exact caps for postage but I don't want to part out the set. :(

The picture is of my keyboard, I have those orange caps. But I want yellow caps now :)

Oh! I've never seen them in yellow.

That font is the stock Signature Plastics font in case you didn't know, so your best bet is still asking them. :)

Is the SP DCS profile the same as R3's profile in OP?
