Blank, transparent keycaps
« on: Fri, 11 September 2015, 03:12:18 »
Hi, I'm using a ducky shine 4, and i would like to know if there are any obtainable blank transparent keycaps that can fit my keyboard. so i'll have both cool lights and blank keycaps for elite typing :P

If you have an ANSI board then yes. But keep in mind that you only get 104 keys. If I am not mistaken the Ducky has 4 extra keys above the numpad.

Maybe you could ask Signiture Plastics if you could buy 4x Row 1 singles.

The 4 additional ones the ducky has are for Calc, PC, Mail and Browser homepage. It'd make sense to just leave them be, but in case i want to replace those too, it shouldn't be a problem.

I have tested this 104 keys set on a ANSI Ducky Shine 3 Cherry MX Black k-board. So it will fit on a ANSI Ducky Shine 4, Duckys own keycaps sets will fit on Shine 2, 3 and 4. I don't have a Shine 1 k-board just some Shine 2, 3 and 4 k-boards.


The up,down, left and right arrows (Qwerkeys), blue + the 4 (Qwerkeys) over numpad caps don't belong to the set from SP. The blue caps are from SP:s transparent blue 13 keys kit.


My Ducky Shine 4 SCE Cherry MX Brown/Clears bought on Massdrop.



The Brown/Clear switches.



My Ducky Shine 4 69 Edition Fire Version (the switchtester) with 9 different switches and Galaxy Class keycaps set from Massdrop. The spacebar is Duckys 69 own.



Ducky Shine 4 69 original keycaps set.





Edit: Don't know about the link LechnerDE linked keycaps design but some of mine keycaps are not standard keycaps design.

I bought mine sets last year.

I have the MAX Keyboard blank black transparent set if you wanna buy them.

Sold my K70 so I have no use for them now.

They look like blank blacks until you light them up & should work on the shine 4 since there's extra keycaps for multiple layouts.

Long exposure shot here so the won't actually get that bright.

I also have this ANSI/English ISO (front printed) set and had used the set on a ANSI Ducky Shine 3 board, so it will fit on a Ducky Shine 4 board. As you say there are extra caps.

Lookin good on your picture.
