MX Type Key Cap Set - Need Info
« on: Mon, 11 February 2013, 19:20:36 »
I came across a series of key caps from Balanar's Classified Post (see photo below) and asked him about where these caps came from.

From what he remembers, the caps were part of a GB that iMav put together from WAY back. There is apparently an entire series of them, which makes sense. I'd imagine that there is one for each color switch.

Does anyone have a photo of the entire set, or any more details?

Those are on their way to me soon, I have an MX red one as well. Currently waiting on some info from someone on DT as to what other ones he has. Another person once stated they were part of Round something, maybe 1.

Missing red and blue, then you would have the whole of them I am pretty sure.

Some of these went out with the GeekHack Gold Packs.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Doesn't look like it. Ascaii posted this photo today on DT and there is no MX Green.  :(

When those were made green and grey was only on spacebar switch and no one was thinking about using them for whole boards, whites didn't exist yet and hardly anyone liked clears. How things change.

Instead of it saying it, I would rather just have a legend that looks like the stem in the relevant color.

That would be cool as well! Wonder if there would be enough interest for an interest check.

Start one? I don't want to start any more buys right now or I would. The only major problem I see with that design idea though is if you want to have a full set on the same base color it gets pretty tricky due to contrast issues and such. Probably would have to use yellow for base color since all the stem colors would show up well on it.
