Title: Trying to locate Commodore-style keycaps.
Post by: Belmat on Fri, 01 November 2013, 18:54:15

Specifically, I'm trying to find keycaps in the same shape/style as the ones on this keyboard: http://i.imgur.com/bjFPyMz.jpg

I'm after two sets for a Filco; one black, one white; both blank.

Anybody have any ideas where I can pick something like that up? Or perhaps give me a name of the style of kepcap so I can refine my searches a little?

I'm UK-based, so hopefully there's something this side of the pond.

These are the DSA Retro set, and actually also had a Commodore grey top row mod as well. I'm not sure if the alpha set was also made in blanks. Try the classifieds.

DSA Retro was a one-off - if you want those you'll either have to try Classifieds, or wait for round 2.

I thought R2 was the depths ones, and R3 was going to be some sort of dark green. Guess not officially .

There's all sorts of DSA GBs - there is a DSA Dolch GB too, but that is already in production.

I was referring specifically to a second round of Retro DSA.

^^ calm depths and the potential nuclear green buy are SA not DSA

Nuclear green?

What say you??

Where? When? Who? What?

Does this compete with Toxic?
