Any idea where I can get these kind of caps?

Or this kind of white keyboard?
-
those are imsto dyesubs. gb ended a long time ago. closest thing is olivetti but that has beige mods
-
Thanks. I didn't realize they were that old.
-
Heres the black lettering version

Classifieds here would be your best bet for the blue set.
-
Massdrop had some like this just a little while ago right?
-
Those were made by vortex. Similar but not as good. Those also had mods that were white on blue. (If were thinking of the same set.)
-
Yes those are from one of my past groupbuy. I plan on doing some more like this again soon... just got delayed with the black PBT sets taking much longer than I had anticipated.
-
Sometimes you'll see this colorway called olivetti
It's my favorite keyset, I've been trying to find OG olivetti for a long time
-
I just love the blue on white. Makes it look both modern and yet old school classic.
Could someone tell me what GB these were in, or tell me what these are called so as to look for them in a future GB? Thanks.

Those were from the first PBT buy I ran. http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=31861.0 , also did version with beige modifiers in http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=43328.0
Discussion for the next buy is http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=54708.0

lol haha yeah it's from your first group buy so long ago, the man formerly known as Lysol. :P
Oh Ki Bored, just be warned. Filco is actually more like beige than white, so in general it's a bit hard to do color match on keycaps. You noticed in my picture it's not exact match, though imsto keycaps are actually light grey so it's not too bad.
If you want pure white keyboard you might have to look into Ducky or Rosewill.
As for keycap with blue lettering. If you don't mind ABS here is another option: http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/gallery
WASD Keyboards recently acquired the technology to print any color on your keycaps now, so you can really design the color and font you want. :thumb:
My dream set will be white keycap with sky blue front printing.
-
KeyCool case is also whiter than white (the original keyCool 87 was, anyway).
-
Awesome...thanks Hyde.
Yeah, I'm looking for a full sized pure white keyboard.
-
Keycool 108 Winter White edition is all white with blue legends. Although the font is a bit iffy.
I've got one, but I bought it from xuanwumen. It was a limited edition but he might have a few left.

Yeah, I saw that on Ali Express http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2014-keycool-108-dyesub-winter-full-size-mechanical-keyboard-white-LED-cherry-mx-switches-PBT-gaming/1660856446.html
Not sure if I like that font all that much, or the that hue of blue. The board itself looks nice.
-
Yeah, that will be from xuan then.
The font isn't too bad, and you can swap the blue keys for white ones that come with it.
I like it :)
