Title: [WTB/WTT] PBT lettered Keycaps for Topre 87U
Post by: BucklingSpring on Sat, 21 December 2013, 20:14:43
I would like to trade my grey legends on black keycaps for a set of Topre PBT keycaps of any color except Pink (don't like) or Yellow (in the mail)

Meanwhile I'm using some of my 103U on it. You'll get the complete black set.

Are you serious? Glad I helped you to increase your message count.
I just thought it was funny but no it's not a joke.

I'm really looking to trade my black set with any PBT lettered set except Pink or Yellow.

I'm not surprised; these keycaps are ugly as heck.

Dunno who came up with the smart idea of doing black letters on black keycaps.

IMO the black on black is pretty awesome.

So are you looking for Topre PBT in a trade? I'm assuming this is what you were after but the first post was a little vague.

I know many people like those blacks. I also do when I used the keyboard at the office under bright neon lights.
But my setup at home is darker and I'm typing a lot of extended keys (outside the main cluster) and these keys are difficult to see.

So yes, I'm looking for Topre PBT in a trade... I also made the initial post more obvious.

Meanwhile, I'm pulling the white keys off my 103U :-)

Well, I suppose in the right lighting conditions, you could see them enough to be awed  :eek:

I have a friend who got a Topre like that (all black) and he's having a hard time.

Exactly... On one of the update pics you can easily see the legends.

it's either a typo, in which case I"d advise you that your black keycaps aren't good for you...

or you want a lump of coal, which means you want more black keycaps.

clump?

another typo from you, BucklingSpring?

If Topre isn't good enough to stop your typos, methinks you need a Hall Effect.

Or maybe you need to do some typing tutorials.  :p
