Title: Keycap combination/color Suggestion
Post by: punksinatra on Thu, 06 October 2016, 03:48:56: Hi Guys,

I recently painted my CM QFR to a shade of blue (photo attached). Just want to get ideas for keycap color combination. If you got photos or link to a photo as a sample would help much. Thanks ;D

Is that case together properly? Or are they especially low profile keycaps? My QFR keycaps stick out a lot higher above the case than that.

I prefer \| and `~ to be the same colours as the alphas, but otherwise it's a nice combination :)

Post by: rowdy on Fri, 07 October 2016, 04:47:25: The Filco yellow keycaps are great, but don't look quite this yellow in real life, unless you happen to get the lighting right ...

Your next task is to design a keyboard with this pattern made from its keycaps.

Hmmm, I can't place it with a EU/US vendor. At first, I thought Skydolch but the set in your picture is the same color as Skydolch modifiers which is weird. So strange to see the cyan/black without the light gray alpha keycaps. Surely someone will recognize it

"Begin" instead of "Home" - haven't seen that before!

Haha that is less confusing imo

Title: Re: Keycap combination/color Suggestion
Post by: xtrafrood on Tue, 11 October 2016, 00:36:18: It doesn't appear to have the UV coating that WASD places on their keycaps. I suppose someone could have sent in a fully custom .svg keyset design for WASD to print and the designer later stripped the keycaps of the UV coating. That seems very unlikely, though.
