Yeah I do really like the coffee and cream, but they are incomplete which is irritating. The Commodore I just ran into, pretty surprised none of you noticed it and snatched it out from me. I don't think I will fare as well today, I am sure one of you deep pocketed people will spoil my evening.

I hate incomplete sets. They suck. But I guess some is better then none.

As promised, Super Hero on a Poker reds w/ PBT keycaps...





I think he looks better with all black keycaps (more dark & sinister just like me :heh: ).

The other one which is a Military Skull is an ALPS keycap so I'll have to dig up my Zero...

I'm glad you posted this pic. I have always wondered about the retro look with blank key caps. I might look into getting a set from WASD in this scheme, mostly because it's cheap and easy. By the way, where did you get that PBT set?

Hey reaper, if you have some time, you got some white Cherry alphas to put next to the modifers on the pbt set? They look like a good match, but just curious.

I think the superhero looks much cooler with the lighter colors around it. Make him look like he just busted his face through he board and is like "YO!"

Basically I'm saying, it stands out better. So nice :D

You're right!  It looks better with the white/light color keycaps.

Yeah I was talking about an ebay auction. I didn't want to draw more attention to it. Gladly I won that G80-3190HDU... I got my white centered stem doubleshot caps lock! Very excited. Now only the 1.25 ctrls and alts are left for me to find in white doubleshot.

They come together like that (a set of both white and grey keys).  Perhaps you've missed one of imsto's many threads. =)

Yup, they're the thick PBT and the only complain, like everyone else who got a set, is the left CAPS LOCK with center stem only comes in white so you'll have to mod the beige color one.
