Title: Kecyap set for a paradise v60 Mini?
Post by: MarvinMerlin on Fri, 11 March 2016, 12:40:28

Hey hackers, I've been trying to decide which set I'd like to put on my paradise v60 mini, and I am fairly stumped. I have it currently set using the green LEDs and I just have the stock keycaps but I really want to upgrade it to having a set.  The 1976 set is on MD right now, and I think it looks alright, but I dont know how the brown caps (which is most of them) will look with the black case of my mini.  Any thoughts on that set or other sets that go well with black cases?  Thanks.

There are a few pics of 1976 on black boards in the GB thread (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=65935.700) if you haven't already seen them, the dark case makes the brown look lighter.

I think black goes with pretty much anything but you're welcome to disagree :)

Personally I think 1976 looks great on most of the boards I've seen it on. You wouldn't have transparent legends though, so your LEDs would be like underglow for your keys, I don't know if you care about that though. Also, keep in mind that Massdrop's estimated ship date for 1976 is July 29th.

Geekkeys.com has some backlit ABS sets for $40 if you're looking for a quick fix. The silver set looks kinda interesting, IMO.

There are aftermarket cases you could get for your board :D
