Title: Looking for Blue (arrows) and Red (ESC) sem-trans. for backlit Ducky Shine 3
Post by: MKANET on Thu, 05 December 2013, 22:26:07

You guys know your keycaps!  I was hoping you could tell me where to get arrow keys that look like the blue left-CTRL key in the picture below... (and possibly a red ESC key equivalent if possible):

I think I found what I want.  However, I can't read whatever language it's in.  Maybe there's an English equivalent website that also describes how to install them; and, what to get.

Look at the "Translucent Keys". They're available for all rows so you get a one for Esc and some for a WASD cluster.

Thanks, but are they even Ducky Shine compatible? I know that Signature Plastic make keycaps that are much shorter than keycaps made for Leopold and Filco keyboards.  Im not sure though if Duck shine uses a different standard or not.

If they are DCS profile, they will be shorter than Ducky caps (which are "OEM" profile).  Generally SP makes DCS, SA, and DSA caps, all of which differ from OEM.

They are DCS.  Surely, there has to be a place that sells what I'm looking for.  I dont mind if the color of the LED doesnt change, as long as the color of the keycaps are different; and, still let light through.
