I wondered about it as well a while back..., but then I realized there isn't much moderation around here to start with anyway, so why should I be surprised by these messes.

I know it's an old thread, but I really dig those yellow keycaps OP (and the red doesn't really give it a McDonalds effect, so that's definitely good).

My keyboard right now. Has Round 1 Portal Keycaps, a Shamrock, and caps from the Incomplete Retro R3 set from Bongojingie's SP grab bag. I actually really love the look the incomplete set gives. Didn't use all of the keys of course, and I decided to leave out J because it didn't have the little guide bump on it. Still, beautiful keys. It'll be given that extra shimmer when I get my gold/zinc backspace (also why I omitted using the R3 set backspace).

Bought one of each color of PBT caps from Qtan to make a few rainbow sets. I haven't seen anybody do this on matrix layout keyboards, I think it's pretty neat. Not sure which I like best.

How did you order the two colors from WASD? It seems costly to order a 37 key set and then order a bunch of single keys on top of that to complete the set.
