Title: Key caps for Filco The & keypad
Post by: soloz2 on Sun, 23 February 2014, 11:27:40
Hello,
I looking to upgrade from my WASD Abs key caps to some nice PBT for my Filco setup. The problem I'm running into is that the Filco keypad has separate 0 and 00 keys instead of the larger standard 0 key so I'm not finding key cap sets that accommodate this setup.
I just got the Filco keypad so I could return it and get maybe a Leopold, but I heard reports that they are configured to the number row instead of the number pad.

I was looking at possibly picking up the Ducky thick black on black PBT set, or the Vortex double shot in hopes that I could get a reverse set to match later on.

Does anyone know where I can get a complete set or at least separate keys?

You can get blank DSA PBT sets from Signature Plastics and also buy an extra 1x key for the 00 key.

Thanks I'll take a look. How about printed caps?

Check out the black on black PBT group buy going on right now, run by Ivan. I believe it will end up higher quality and a better profile (IMO) than the Ducky caps you mentioned.

I was looking at those keycaps and they do look great, but again there is the double wide 0 key.  I'm a bit of a noob, so maybe I missed something?
