Title: Taeja's keycaps and WASD keyboards.
Post by: Okyra on Fri, 05 April 2013, 11:54:11

Hi, I'm thinking about buying my first mechanical keyboard and those (http://cgi.ebay.fr/104-PBT-Rainbow-Side-printed-keycaps-for-MX-cherry-Switches-Keyboard-/300882574889?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item460dffbe29#ht_2841wt_957) keycaps caught my eye.
With them, I was thinking about buying a WASD mechanical keyboard without the keycaps, but I don't know if they fit :/
Does anyone have the answer ? I'll be grateful !

They'll fit depending on if you'll using an ISO or ANSI layout.

If you get an ANSI barebones keyboard, they'll fit.

I was thinking about this (http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/wasd-v1-barebones-mechanical-keyboard.html) one so they should fit, thanks for the quick answers :)

Where did you get your caps printed on the side like that?

Side-printing comes on certain aftermarket (keep searching) keycap sets. & even some stock keyboards (Filco 'Ninja', and soon to be; CMStorm Quick fire rapid 'stealth')
