Splashy rainbow keys

These are pretty cool, and I don't remember anyone posting about them:

Colourful OEM Height Backlit Keycaps Key Cap for Cherry MX Mechanical Keyboard












BTW, these aren't actually "key caps"—that's a common error. In case you're interested, here's how people in the keyboard industry have historically used these terms:

A cap is the upper part of a two-piece button, as on most Model F's and M's. The lower (unprinted) part is a stem.

Single-piece keys, or a complete two-part key, is a key or button. (Unicomp uses both terms.)

So there's actually no such thing as an MX-compatible "cap" or a Clack "cap". Whenever you see someone referring to "caps", they almost certainly mean "keys".

(And the Voice in the Wilderness has spoken!)

The other cool thing about them is, they're not the kind of keys you get because you're trying to be cool (i.e. copy other people). You know, like paying $300 for one of those little monster-face keys so you can say, "Woo, am I cool or what? I have a little monster face on my keyboard! This is undoubtedly a very dangerous keyboard now! Watch out, keyboard monster on the loose—buh ha ha!!"

I mean, yikes, y'know? Just 'cause a bunch of other people did it, you do it? Sheesh. Splashy rainbow = non-slavish = clearly superior.
