Frosted Top full set keycaps cherry mx
« on: Thu, 20 March 2014, 15:10:22 »
I know that pimpmykeyboard.com has some in blue/yellow/orange, but only list have R1 available (not sure if they actually mean R4?), I'm looking for a clear or white full set for my poker for a pretty awesome project I've started, but I can't seem to find anything other than getting them made myself for $8 per (yikes). Ultimately what I ACTUALLY need are green modifiers + space bar, blue alphanumeric and white or clear WASD, but I have a method of dying that I've been playing around with that should work to get the result I want if I start with a full set that is white or clear. I considered getting the translucent keycaps they do have, but the green is too dark for what I'm looking for and I really hate seeing the stem. I really want a frosted top for this project.

Any clues as to where to start in finding what I'm looking for for something more like $2-$4 per keycap?

put an ad, members have a tendency to collect weird things and somebody will have what you want.


or give a link to some photos so people know exactly what you're looking for.
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

Blue, red and clear dcs sets

Well those are bloody lovely. I might finally be able to turn my KC84 red seeing as they weren't selling red LED covers on that Massdrop :(
Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?

Yea, I know about these (I talked about them in my post, actually), but they aren't frosted-top. Thanks, though. ^_^

I think you would be interested in some POM Jelly caps. You would probably have to import them via taobao.

should be frosted white like the other pom set:
