White Keyboard + Which Color Keycap Set?
« on: Thu, 04 April 2013, 04:26:28 »
I want to change my all white HPE 87 keycaps to another single color set.

Which color do you think would look good with a white keyboard?

I like blank keys in two colours. White alphanumerics, modifiers in an accent colour such as green, grey (not beige), blue or orange.

CCnG, Klaxon, and RainDrop all had a full color option that would look awesome on a solid white. Perhaps you can find some on resale. (And I thing CCnG still has a day or two left to order.)

White pbt?
A lot of things would look good, everything listed so far really. In the end, it's what colour combos you really like :)
Although I guess ideas do help! I wonder if I have a picture of my white board somewhere....

If I had a white keyboard I would buy these
You'll need a Taobao agent (I use Bhiner) if you want them :)

Oops I forgot the link - http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=2013.1.0.124.EX3nx4&scm=1007.77.0.0&id=19390291012&pvid=c35798a5-6e71-4e97-8d53-a61f58e8e97a&ad_id=&am_id=&cm_id=&pm_id=

I'll also link them via Bhiner's addon, but you will see eight sets. Three are in stock while the other five are not. Looks like they have side and top printed blue and top printed Pink, but don't quote me on that.

Bhiner Link - http://www.bhiner.com/index.php?is_crx=Y&mode=Search&skey=http%3A%2F%2Fitem.taobao.com%2Fitem.htm%3Fspm%3D2013.1.0.124.EX3nx4%26scm%3D1007.77.0.0%26id%3D19390291012%26pvid%3Dc35798a5-6e71-4e97-8d53-a61f58e8e97a%26ad_id%3D%26am_id%3D%26cm_id%3D%26pm_id%3D

Edit - I also have no idea if they are cherry/oem profile or thick/thin.

I don't suppose you could explain how you went about doing that? It's beautiful!

I have been thinking about the same thing recently. I have a white Leopold fc200r and want some new caps, I have been after black engraved PBT. I was tempted by white, but the off white colour of the Leo may look strange.

I am just waiting to hear back from feng to see if he has any black engraved with a space bar that fits the silly Leo spacing.

I am just debating what to accent I with, I have some sexy green PBT engraved, but I also have some red keys which would go well, decisions, decisions.

So yeah, my vote goes for black and one other colour, one for the modifiers and the other for the rest, switch around to suit :)

I own a black Filco board. I was thinking about getting the white laser-engraved PBT set from imsto to put on it. What do you guys think?

morpheus, congrats on the rainbow set. Very classy.  ;)

In what way do you navigate IMSTO's site? I find it a bit cluttered considering I have to translate everything. But then again, I'm only using default Google Chrome addon translator.

It's pretty easy imo. Click laser engraving, sublimation dye subs, or whatever kind you're looking for on the left under keycaps in set.

Filco, plus imsto's white laser-engraved keycaps. I'd make a Photoshop mockup myself but my graphic design skills are long gone. Hmm, maybe all black.  :cool:
