Heh, these are not mine.  They are lopan's.  Both were bought used here from other geekhackers.  I believe one of them was from Flaming_june.  They are really rare.

Holy crap, that's  selling for even more than my inflated asking price.  And I sold my original tkl blues for 85 usd.

No, but I'd say you have the important part.  You know, the white body keyboard with red switches.  White blank keycaps can be added.

True.  But I haven't seen any white otaku Filco keycaps yet.  Totally doable.  There are lettered Filco 47-keycap sets on taobao.  They were Otaku before letters were added.  But Filco is not making them that way.

As far as I can tell, these are not Filco keycaps, and certainly not the same white as Filco's.  Filco's white is actually a little beige-ish.  The caps from your links are likely PBT ultra bright white blank or engraved caps.  

You can compare the bright white in the middle and the Filco white otaku on the left.

Ahh, I see.  If Filco doesn't make white blanks, how did lopan get his?

Filco white non-printed caps is in stock. It is hard to tell if there are the same color. It can not tell by pictures, all depend on the light you take the picture....Anyway, I have white filco and White filco non-printed caps, I did not feel much difference, but I also can not say it is 100% the same.

Just update filco caps on eBay.....

If you mean this, I think this is the same beige/white color of the original white otaku.

Oh, so they did make them.  And qtan has got some.

It is a pity that I missed out on 2010.  I was still a baby, not yet weaned off rubber domes.

Anyone have one they'd part with?  Original blanks or PBT would work.

That's pretty involved doing the back and forth with samples.  I'd prefer to just find someone with one kicking around.  If not I'll probably just get a black Filco and add white PBT keyset if there is a complete set available.

They made them.

2010 was the peak year for Mechanical Keyboards.   Best selection.  Best prices.  Best lulz.  

You had to be there.
