I would love to know which set the white alpha keycaps are from? Anyone know or want to sell some?

I had the photo saved so this way easy. They're Penumbra/Solarized (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=49634.0) keycaps seen on fog's 40% Planck designed by ptramo/jackhumbert.

A similar keycap color scheme would be the Nantucket Selectric (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=79282.0).

Does anyone have a slightly more recent source for the Selectric style keycaps?

Im not fused either way about that colour scheme, but i really like the cap style.

I think you should look for aftermarket cpas, like on classifieds or r/mm. I got my set of modern selectric from r/mechmarket.

LMAO ;D,
I was thinking it would be more authentic using tippex. Like having good old hard copy in my hands!

Sorry dude, that a definite 'no i wont be making it'. That will be an overnight stay just to get down that far!
I like those SA caps, but i don't like them enough to go inside of the M25.

I even refused to drive a coach inside there for anything below £15p/h when i was a bus driver (Still surprises me how often they would bump my pay up the extra £5 to do runs into London!)

You can't tell i hate that s*** hole of a city can you?  :rolleyes:
