Blank Gray Modifiers?
« on: Sun, 22 December 2013, 18:10:25 »
Hello! Does anyone know where to get blank gray modifiers like the ones found on the HHKB Pro 2? I've been searching for a PBT set but no luck. So I gave up and decided to ABS. I've had a search on WASD Keyboards and found that there is two gray options, light and dark. What one closely resembles the ones found on the Pro 2?

Thanks in advance. :)

I believe you can do custom orders from signature plastics, which makes PBT caps. Can anyone confirm this/provide more info?

Sorry, not to flash with keycap profiles. OEM indeed.

"closely resembles the ones found on the Pro 2" - are these to go on to a HHKB?
"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

I assumed they were just looking for similar color for MX.

For MX, yes. Forgot to mention. :/
