Title: Photo request: blank caps
Post by: Tactile on Sun, 05 March 2017, 12:58:14

A friend was visiting and I was showing him some of my boards. When I brought out a board with blank keycaps he doubled over with laughter, thinking it was a joke. I tried to explain that lots of people, including me, like the clean look of blank keycaps and that typing on them is not an issue. I'm not sure he believed me so...

Help me impress my friend with how great a keyboard can look with blank keycaps. Show him your blank boards.

I'll start...

i've been using blanks exclusively on my daily board for like 5 years now. occasionally i used to switch it up when i was using cherry stuff but since i went topre, i haven't bothered with legends.

These are known as "otaku" keyboards, if you want to throw the correct colloquial term at your friend.

Almost all my boards are blank with the exception like 3 out of 9. Only scrubs have legends Kappa
