Hey everyone, I just got my Keycool 84 and I want to customize it more but I don't have many ideas. Post your customized 84s and give me some ideas!

mine had a **** ton of novelty caps on it but then I switched it back to stock with only the red esc and blue arrows.
I like it better just like that

I think I'm going to go with blank or side printed key caps with a few novelty keys on it. Dont know if i want one color or multicolored key caps yet.

I can't use blanks on anything other than letters or mods. I can't even remember where ,.;'/[]\ keys are, and I can't touch type number and function keys. But side printed is godly. So is black on black PBT
But the classic red esc is soooo awesome

I was also thinking about planks for just the letters and [];'./ ect. and leave everything else as is, but i dont know if i would like how it looked.

kc84 isn't 100% symetrical like a 60%, so It'll look off a bit

Ya that was what i was thinking. Might just have to try all blanks then and see if i can manage.

finding a 1.75x right shift blank may be hard unless you find a set specifically for the 84

Have you ever seen anyone selling 1.75x blanks?

Idk but banggood blank pbt keycaps are from keycool so they might fit

I checked there and it seems they are just the regular size shift keys. :(

yea unless u find a 84 specific set on banggood, you have to get a tsang kit for the 1.75x keys

Cool. Thank you for all the help. Getting pretty excited now that I know how good group buys can be!

banggood, both times

But the classic red esc is soooo awesome
Are you talking about the one that comes with the KC84 by default...? Because mine looks kinda faded (or rather, it's a grey font that doesn't look all that great on the keycap)
Also, sClass, if you're looking something cheaper than a group buy, you could always go for either of these: http://www.banggood.com/buy/84-key-caps.html (http://www.banggood.com/buy/84-key-caps.html) (both out of stock currently though, not sure when they'll be in stock).

Oh nice! You must have been one of the lucky last buyers before they went out of stock then.
