Title: Pink on White Keycap Aesthetics
Post by: Defect on Tue, 29 April 2014, 15:55:04
Hello all

Recently put together a pure from parts gathered in classifieds (plan to post pictures soon :3)

Design is similar to the Watermelon in my avatar/sig:

Case: emerald/forest green acryllic case (clear middle, clear plates)
Mods: Pink mods (missing short right shift,  2 of the pinks are a slightly different shade..fixing that...)
Alphas: White caps
Number Row: novelty caps or whites to match alphas

Question for you guys:
Pink on white alphas or blank white?  Pink on white is hard to find.  I already have a set of red Italic Vortex thick pbt,  may get a pink set.  Also saw Vortex non italic pink on white with pink mods (2.75 right shift...fml...).  It's more expensive and I'd still need a right shift.  Blank white is cheaper but not sure if I'd like it more or less than Pink on White.

Also, are all Pink on White called Valentine or just the DS ABS that's got a GB?

Help is appreciated!

I'm thinking pretty hard about a white/pink board myself.  I'd go with either blank white alphas, or full pink everything.  I don't think I like pink on white alphas very much.

what pink mods are you using right now?

Pretty much whatever ones I could find.  My guess is these came somehow or another from WASD.  Only have capslock, a few bottom row 1.25 mods, and an off color left shift.

Yeah my sig is a lie lol.  Using black mods where I need them, and my current right shift is actually a capslock from some extra keys I have.  I guess its the seed in this watermelon.  Off topic.   Chase the dream, not the...junk caps I have currently

SP has blank pink DSA mods, which I'll probably buy at some point.  I don't know that I'd be a fan of DSA, but you do what you gotta do.
