Title: Help me decorate last touches on my KMAC! Need a capslock + function key
Post by: HolidaySHRIMP on Thu, 18 July 2013, 12:36:57

Locked other topic and opened this one (hope that's ok mods)



So I reprogrammed my KMAC LE (finally) to what I want.  Caps is now control and left control is function.  However, the keycap set that I have does not reflect it!

Does anyone suggestions on what I could put there or where I could get some to fix it?  Those titanium ones from Fengs new buy will only match the control->Fn but not my caps->Control issue.

Fixes needed:

• Caps -> control keycap - I think this should match the Function Key
• Control -> Function keycap - I think this should match the control key
• FENGS LIGHT BLUE SPACEBAR WHERE?!?!? messaged him to no avail.  His eBay shop only has the royal blue ones.  I think that light blue one would be the bees-knees
• CLASHING RED ESC KEY - any suggestions for this fashion faux pas!?!?
• F J home keys on Sherrys blue/beige set have no bumps!

Edit: First world problems  :D

that looks super nice.  How hard is it to put those KMAC's together?

not too bad.

One good part about the kmac is that a led under ctrl lights up when you press capslock, so if you want a sweet unix layout, you can have it.

I'll be offering 1.75 C row Control in next groupbuy, and I keep trying to get Fn as soon as GMK want to start cutting us new legends it will get done. Otherwise blank for Fn for now is always there. Or, you could get some caps from some vintage Cherry boards. If you hunt around really hard or are willing to pay dearly you can get some beige C row Control keys, and maybe something odd for your Fn key.

Interesting.  I'll keep an eye open for that GB!

Thinking maybe I should just swap keysets.  That Round 4 with with the Retro looks to have everything I need.  Plus the FJ home keys in that one are bumped.
