Title: backlit caps-lock scroll-lock and num-lock
Post by: olivier.nyc on Fri, 15 November 2013, 00:55:38

I am looking for interesting custom MX key caps for my backlit caps-lock scroll-lock and num-lock keys.

I would rather not buy the full set...

Could you be more specific?

Not sure about caps lock, but there are a bunch of 1x backlight-friendly keycaps here (http://www.maxkeyboard.com/keyboard-parts/key-cap.html) that would fit on scroll and num lock.

Oh right what I meant was the actual identical keycaps with the words, just translucent.
Like the keys on a ducky shine.
But not the whole set, just cl, sl and nl..
I guess a padlock icon could work too

They might have windowed inventory at SP... too lazy to check.

You might end up having to buy a full set of Ducky Shine replacement keycaps, especially to get such a caps lock.

Yes the cap locks are not easy to find.
My UPS Store has a 3d printer maybe I can create an stl file for it.

Or save myself the trouble (and cost) and buy a shine set...

I was also looking for something like this. The link rowdy posted is what I want just on the capslock key.
