Title: I didn't know where to ask... Color Rings?
Post by: acer589 on Fri, 13 September 2013, 23:46:08

On Signature Plastics, they list an item called Color Rings with no description. It's $35. Anyone know what it is?

Sweet, I'm having issues choosing the right color code for my single regular PBT keycap purchase on SP website. What's the color code for Authentic Red ESC keycap mentioned in elitekeyboards website?

That's by GMK, different company. Don't know if you can find a perfect match

Oh... right. Well, if you don't mind me asking one more question, how many does it come with?

How many samples are on a ring? If that's what you're asking, then it depends on what they have on hand at the time of your order. As I understand it, colors change and new ones are added from time-to-time.
