Filco Blank Keycaps
« on: Wed, 16 October 2013, 12:09:58 »
Hi Geekhack,

A couple of months ago I bought a filco majestouch tenkeyless keyboard and now I want to buy some blank keycaps.
I have been looking for a while but can't find a lot of compatible keycaps since I use the ISO layout. The only official
set of keycaps I found was on this site: http://www.keyboardco.com/product/blank-black-filco-105-key-keyset.asp

I read about people who got keycaps on wasdkeyboards.com but I'm not sure whether or not they are the right profile.
A while back i ordered an esc keycap from qwerkeys.co.uk but the profile of the key was totally different than
my original keys. (see picture)



Additionally I'm a little bit worried about the plastic quality of they keys, the key I ordered was made from a glossy type
of plastic while the original filco ones are matt.

I hope you guys have some exciting options :p

Thanks.

WASD keys are the exact same as stock Filco.

Thanks Ivan, is the quality of the plastic comparable to the filco's?

If you are in canada (and maybe the US) you can get blank filco brand caps from ncix.
