I have a crazy idea to make a mad max inspired keyboard.
I plan to have a skeleton plate for top and bottom, and give them a rusted pattern. Then use the sack cloth to cover the open sides.
Using orange/red led for fire style underglow.
Now I am stuck at keycaps.
Are there any existing brown translucent keycaps?
I am open to other options.
I plan to use a brown gateron

I don't think there are. Maybe you would be better off buying a white set and making them really dirty? See Pexon's post about his Fallout 4 themed 60% build. :D

I did a pseudo-rustic version but did not alter the key caps.
A dirty/stained/bloody dye job would be easy with PBT caps, use plastic tape for dye-resist areas and markers or paint markers for "damage".

That's a nice build.
But it has a lot more keys. What pcb/board have you used? Or is it all self wired?
EDIT: I have found the info on that keyboard.

There's this (http://www.dhgate.com/product/wholesale-mechanical-gaming-keyboard-plu/383687245.html#s1-29-1;disc|2576023259). You'd need to buy the entire board, though.

It is not a "build" it is a Model F 122-key terminal without the plastic case shell. I did not change anything electrical, I only added a Teensy.
