Title: What do you guys think of the yellow printed keycaps realforce 87u ?
Post by: LifeIsGooD2 on Sun, 22 December 2013, 18:01:50
I just bough a set since there are so few kinds in stock right now. Do they look good ?

Also about how long until elitekeyboards will ship? I ordered on Friday.

You bought something without knowing what your getting?

And EK usually takes a few days to ship.

Someone else asked a very similar question very recently.

I haven't seen them in person, but they look absolutely fantastic in every photo of them I have seen.

Wish I could get a set for my HHKB!

It's not as bright as the photos make it out to be. It's a much more dull yellow color.

It is slightly orange yellow - I have Topre yellow Esc on my HHKB right now.

Nice yellow, similar to Filco yellow keycaps :)

I don't have the Filco yellow, but I thought those were pretty bright?
