Rubber key cap grips?
« on: Mon, 06 February 2012, 16:54:04 »
I remember seeing somewhere on the forum these cool little textured keycap covers that you could put on top of the caps for extra grip(WASD for example). Was also wanting to know where you could get those, and (I'm probably just dreaming) if they made them in a clear so if you have a backlit keyboard you could still see through them?

I haven't seen the key covers, but I know that Plasti-dip comes in clear, maybe that would work?

The only place I've ever seen these is on the new Corsair keyboards. I believe these were textured and shaped, though. Pretty sure I'd hate them being different to all of the rest of the keys, though. The difference would make it different to type, and I don't fancy changing a few keycaps every time I switch between gaming and typing.
Current collection:
Filco Majestouch 104-Key, w/ MX Browns
IBM Model M 52G9700
Leopold FC200R, "white" w/ MX Clears
Ducky DK9008S \'Shining\', white backlit w/ MX Blues
Cherry G80-3494(LCYUS-2), w/ MX Reds for Portal Mod

Not mine, but I\'ve got access to:
Filco Majestouch Linear R Limited Edition, w/ MX Reds
Filco Majestouch 2 \'Ninja\' Tenkeyless, w/ MX Blues
Leopold FC500R, w/ MX Browns

no these were'nt actual keycaps...just a little cap that went across the top of the keycap(like a hat) and they are made of rubber or silicone and had a a textured top, but no numbers or letters on them..
