Keycaps for Das Keyboard III and Topre Realforce 87U
« on: Wed, 22 April 2009, 09:59:55 »
Hi everyone,
   Does anyone here know where to get colored blank keycap for Das Keyboard III and Realforce 87U? As far as I've know, there are Red ESC keycap, Blue A,S,D keycap for Realforce 87U but they are not blank. I searched on google and found a picture of HHKB with many colorful keycaps, and the link is from this forum.

Found a site: http://keycapsdirect.com/key-caps.php

iMav is taking a survey in the Marketplace (I think) forum for replacement blank keycaps.  It would only be black, but it's an option.

Yes, and I noticed that their site says they keep lots of blank key sets in stock, but it doesn't say what those blank sets will fit, unfortunately.

I almost called that company a while back, but I decided to wait, and now I'm waiting for EliteKeyboards.com to see if they can get official Filco replacement keys (blank and non-blank).

What I'm really hoping is that EliteKeyboards can get white ones (blank and non-blank) that way we can dye them any color we want :)

I want white non-blank so that I can use them for certain keys (for gaming purposes - and no, it's not for WASD keys).
