I have been looking for a backlit TG3 like this one to harvest some keycaps from.
The board is similar to the Déck 82 but with a different font. I want the set to have an alternate keycap set for my Déck Legend but I am not that interested in the board itself.

There are plenty on E-bay but most sellers sell the entire board and then shipping kills it. +$40-$60 for shipping to The Netherlands.

Anyone that has a spare set or is willing to buy one for parts and send me the caps?

EDIT: I am mostly interested in the letter, number and F-keys since the modifiers don't fit my board anyway.

I am willing to pay somewhere around $30 for the caps ex. shipping. So anyone in the U.S. that wants to buy one from Ebay and ship the caps to me in an envelope?

If you don't mind waiting a couple weeks +, I've got an extra TG3 (backlit) coming in the mail. It's a used model.

Assuming the keys are in good shape and I don't have to return for mechanical issues, I would be happy to sort out a harvest for you.

I finally got around to adding Raccoon's TG3 keys to my Déck Legend.

So we went from this:


To this:


It's a bit like having a Hi-viz set on your keyboard. The font is slightly larger so the backlight goes from slightly blueish to a warmer white.

Here are some more pics:

The entire usable set


F-key comparison


Spot the difference


Shame about the 1! key being a different size

I'm hoping I'm not breaking rules here (<60 posts), so I'll delete this if someone tells me I am.

My backlit TG3 arrived with keys in terrible condition - looks like someone took a knife to it. If anyone still has an extra set available, I'd be very happy to buy them. Shipping would be to Canada. Please PM me!

Looking good! I like the font on the TG3 caps much better. :)
