Gateron 'tan' keycaps (mechanicalkeyboards.com)
« on: Fri, 04 November 2016, 10:18:38 »
Does anyone have any pictures of them? I don't believe the images on the website are very accurate. I'm planning to use these with the dark grey set as modifiers (but I'm using the backslash key as backspace and splitting backspace into 2 1u keys, HHKB style, so most sets that already have coloured modifiers wouldn't work)

I know there's this



And I emailed the site asking if the 2nd one was the tan colour they were selling, and they gave a very ambiguous response

Or if anyone has any other suggestions for some nice blank keycaps, I'm all ears!

Tan color is probably the second one from the right. I think that pic goes black > dark grey > tan > white

I used dark grey on the WASD cluster, tan for the alphas and black for the modifiers. Hopefully that helps.
