Title: Caps for the BTC 5100c
Post by: y11971alex on Tue, 08 November 2016, 19:46:41

After I bought the BTC 5100c, I decided that I want to pack it with me so I can have a better typing experience (without the volume) compared to my aging Macbook Air keyboard.  So I'll need some bright caps that would denote my interest in keyboards. 

I'm currently considering PBT double shot caps from Tai Hao from Tao Bao, but since the 5100c has non-standard layout, I need ideas about how to fill the modifiers and control keys.  I've basically given up on the function row already, which are by measurement 0.853x.

You could always get one of those dye-subbed DSA sets and blanks for everything else.

The new set from MiTo includes everything you need for this board (minus the funky function keys) for $138.
-Tsangan Text Modifiers
-Extra Text Modifiers
-Odd Bars

Or you can opt to use an off legend Enter key for $112.
-Tsangan Text Modifiers
-Odd Bars

I think I'm gonna jump on it because it is the only beige set that I've seen that would match the board well.

Those Canvas XDA modifiers are gray, not beige, right?

Yeah, but the function keys are already a darker shade than the mods, so it won't clash much.
