Windowed Engraved PBT Caps
« on: Thu, 23 February 2012, 15:42:59 »
Has anyone done/seen a KBC Poker with windowed keycaps for the LED'ed keys that aren't the caps lock? (Escape, arrow keys on windows, menu, ctrl, shift, and the space bar)

The keys are front engraved, so I'd probably have to choose a different position than front, top, center like the caps  lock (which may make it look goofy since all windows on the board wouldn't be at the same spot on the key). My idea was to just take a Dremel tool to the key, scavenge some window material and glue them in just like the caps lock key.

Maybe these keys are already available, but I can't find them anywhere.

I've looked around as well but haven't come up with anything helpful. Windowed key caps in general don't seem to appear to be at the forefront of popularity within the key cap buying scene, sadly.
40% layout, anyone?

I think I may try and mod it myself if I can get ahold of some of the windowed material or buy something similar and replace it all.  The window on the caps lock on my set doesn't exactly sit flush with the key anyway.
