Title: Fun with blank keycaps
Post by: jmchargue on Mon, 14 October 2013, 12:40:37
Can anyone post any boards where people have all black keycaps, with words spelled out in printed? Really want to get white blanks for my white HHKB pro 2 and spell fuck out in the upper left hand corner.

Will you not end up with a profile issue?

you would, just go get a custom set of WASD's. Done and no profile issues.

AGH you're right. I didn't even think of this. This is /ruining/ my aesthetic dreams.

But, in my mind, I could rearrange to my heart's content ;_; So basically, I have to get every letter three times, for every profile, if I want to do this, now.

I hate this.

What about DSA profile?

What about DSA profile?

DSA profile is quite flat, should be perfect for painting

I wonder if you could sand a little off the top of a DSA key cap to make it completely flat.

If you can get DSA for Topre, then you could just fill the board with DSA blanks and the letters would all be the same profile, never seen a set of Topre DSA myself, but not looked much.

Curse the profile! who would want a bumpy fuck?
