What colour keycaps should I get for my tenkeyless Filco? :)
« on: Thu, 26 April 2012, 08:47:25 »
I'm not entirely sure what to buy. :< I'm so indecisive when it comes to making decisions so wanted your guys opinions on what to go for?

At the moment this is what my Filco looks like...

I'm considering either black blanks or white blanks with numerous novelty keycaps to go along with but not sure. D:

Opinions?

+1 for black blanks

that'll be what I put on my poker.

Also, +1 for white blanks and gray modifiers.

I'd love to do that (White blanks and grey mods) but it'd mean buying two sets of full keycaps from WASD or somewhere. :<

WASD will let you do individual key caps, you may be able to order a set of white, then just order the grays that you need in the set.

You could always shoot them an email or call them up to see if they'd give you any sort of deal after describing that you wanted to accomplish.

However, you may want to wait for ordering from them as they will be offering PBT soon. (that's what I'll be waiting for)

Just posted on their FB wall. They seem pretty fast with replies so I'm hoping for the best. :D Thanks.

So I've figured a way out about the keycaps on WASD... My choice now is either...

White on a black case is pretty nice.

The white on black looks more modern IMO.
The white and gray looks really old. It reminds me of old keyboards, such as model M's. But then, its your call :).
I would probably go for the white on black. All blank of course :). Or maybe just keep the modifiers.

Here you go.  You are just in time to get in on this group buy for a 104 set of Blank Black PBT caps.

...Unless you're going white, don't have a 104 board or yours is ISO layout.  ;-)

There is no need. I'm going white plus I don't have a 104 board. Mines ISO layout.

WASD will be getting PBTs soon-ish. If you can hold out, I would suggest going that route.

+1 on the white on black. Looks great! Fits really well when going for novelty keys as well (considering dyesubs are most usual on white)

I'm in the exactly same boat (apart from having a ninja), looking for ideas on coloured key caps, kind of liking the lime green look...
