Title: Fluorescent Keycaps
Post by: rollyplank on Fri, 20 May 2016, 16:33:57

Call me a 90s kid, but I love my clear fluorescent plastic. It used to feel super cheap and cheesy, but now I have this nostalgia for the stuff like this:

I'd like to build a clear yellow/green fluorescent keyboard someday, and I've started buying some caps to work towards it:

I'd like to discuss what's out there for clear fluorescent keycaps, cases, etc.
Please let me know if you have any ideas  ;)

Winkeyless does acrylic cases in a number of colors. You should check them out if you want some fancy stuff.

Not too many translucent key caps come to mind. There was a gh novelty set a few years ago, but it was clear and only a handful of caps.

You could try dying a clear set of keys, would take you some experimenting to get the right colours though.
