Title: Does an aluminum wasd set exist?
Post by: dmbr on Wed, 20 February 2013, 15:44:40

I really love the feel of aluminum keycaps, and as a gamer I'm mostly interested in a wasd cluster.

Does anyone know if this is exists, and if so, how hard they'd be to find?

Thanks!

Not that I have seen, I think that there is only really ESC row aluminium caps outside of scarface.

There are Zinc available. You may be able to find them quite easily on feng's ebay site.

Aluminum? I've only seen the Scarface caps, and those are quite pricy per key, with the added fact of being quite hard to find.

Good luck!

aluminum makes bad caps, they stain.. and wear easily when wet/ oily

I'm mostly interested in the feel; aesthetics don't phase me :)

Anything related to sensori-emotional values would be aesthetics, including how things "feel" ;)
