Hey people,
Been a long time. Just checking in cuz i need a little help with my interogations.
Quick recap for those wondering: I'm doing fine. Still in university, everything is cool. Stopped comming here since i kinda change my working environment (dropped from a desktop to a laptop) and stopped working to get back in school. Means no more desktop at all, never. kinda equals no more need for a nice mech keyboards as well.
Anyway just to tell you, been running for the last year a Lenovo Thinkpad T420 and i deeply love the device, most probably the best piece of hardware i've ever had to work with. Simply everything is damn good above average material, really fits my need. The board really feels good for rubber dome, it feels close to a Dell QuietKeys.
Question here; I'm kinda worrying about the keyboard. The caps are starting to shine pretty hard (i must be typing about 10 hours per day using this board) and while it's not too much of an issue, i've been wondering if there's any way i can just swap the keycaps with better looking/feeling keycaps that won't degrade over heavy use. I don't really care about the legend/sublegend on the board and it currently has US layout and i deeply want to keep it that way. It's not the ISO keyboard (flat enter and long left shift)
It need the G,H,B keys to have a middle hole for the trackpoint. I am currently thinking only upgrading the typing field and arrows (60%-ish) but it has to be really flat caps and fit the (unknown) stem up top of the switches.
Maybe some of you have any idea or picture or solution for this. I'm really open to any style but let's say i'd like some navy caps like the navy colored enter on the ThinkPad.
Show me what you got just like the good old times.
Thanks.
JP
