Title: Looking for Keycool 84 capslock, numlock, scroll lock, and F12 caps
Post by: aviphysics on Sat, 21 January 2017, 12:48:55
I am looking for Keycool 84 capslock, numlock, scroll lock, and F12 caps for my Drevo Gramr 84 (basically a keycool 84 clone).

Any ideas where I would find something like that? I am not even sure what the right search terms would be.

closest I have found so far is this set, which is out of stock. (though I only need the four windowed keys.)

I have a KC84 but unfortunately in black and not white :(

Have you checked taobao?

For a white Keycool84, this price doesn't look bad (I think the black ones don't use the windowed keys)

Unfortunately
a) I don't need a whole keyboard (just a few windowed caps)
b) It isn't really possible to checkout using the Google Translate version of the website and I don't read what I presume is Chinese (though my wife has a friend that might).

They might have the keycaps I am looking for, but the term (windowed keycap) and variations I can think of don't return helpful results. Someone that can run searches using the correct Chinese terms might be able to help.

Try taobaofocus. It's a proxy service that lets you search TB in English and sorts out shipping for you too.

That's cool, though I am still not finding a cap set without a board.

I saw some custom windowed caps people made out of standard caps, by cutting a slot and filling it in with epoxy. I might try that, once I find some caps I like.

That would be really cool. If you can find them just PM me with an E-mail to send PayPal to and how much.

BTW, what do you currently have on your Keycool 84?
