Title: Ideas for Leopold 660C
Post by: sems on Wed, 29 March 2017, 09:32:26
Hey,

Currently I'm in between of getting a white HHKB or modding my Leopold 660C with artisans and keysets. I would be okay if I can improve the 660C aesthetically, but lacking some inspiration. Could you please share me your favorite 660C customizations in case you remember a dope looking 660C?

Any ideas are welcome, too. Please help me get some ideas sparked!

Much appreciated,
Sems

My white fc660c has dark gray printed alphas from an hhkb, and orange dyed hhkb blanks on arrows and some mod keys. See my pixel art below. You can get hhkb set for about $55 on eBay, and the alphas are highly compatible.

What did you do with your white alphas? :D

I swapped alphas with my black hhkb (seen in my pixel art signature) :)

Could you please share your reallife pics on both boards?

I desperately wanted this keyboard, but ended up going with a Varmilo tenkeyless with Cherry Reds. 

I use the arrow keys way too much, and didn't like the look of this kb versus a pok3r 60%.
