that's what I'm planning to do tbh!

Btw did you get my form Feng?

Post pics when you do so we can see how they turned out

Batmann · « **Reply #51 on:** Wed, 05 December 2012, 17:01:57 »

yeah sure,
I found some cheap supermarket dye but I'm still looking for something maybe more pro if it exists
I plan to butcher the numberpad for keyboard science and hope the slaughter will give birth to the proper dying method!

Given what I red so far there are pretty good chances of success

Ease guys... I'm a big fan of blank sets too, and I'm definitely interested in buying it. Still waiting for response from JC (I think he's from Vortex) to see if they will make blank sets in the future.

While you are at it, maybe ask if an ISO addon is possible too ? ( worth a shot

)

Just look for Model M dye jobs... Mostly done using RIT. That's PBT.

In all modesty, ofc!

I chose this name for no reasons when I was trying to watch pics, I wasn't expecting to get hooked at that time.
Now I have to stick with it but after all, why not!

Down for 1 set of blank blacks if possible. I'd consider white, but it's very easy to dirty them and a pain to clean.

Would you be willing to give me the same price on this set? And for verification will the spacebar fit on a QFR?

probably could of been a nicer response.. but either way what is the difference then for us noobs

MissMurd3r84 · « **Reply #73 on:** Mon, 10 December 2012, 02:52:43 »

Didn't mean to seem rude as such, I guess I was just surprised that someone would ask to get such a big discount like that.. as for noobs, It would appear you have both been around a lot longer than I

I made an account just to post in this thread. I want a set of white keys, but i'm only about 60-70% sure, and it'll be right after Christmas if I do it. Not sure if it matters that I say something here or not (again, I'm new) so just posting anyway to be safe.

Question: This will fit any Cherry MX, right? I have a Quickfire Rapid and I need to get rid of these god-awful logos/fonts, hah.

Yes these will fit a QFR without issue. That is part of why I'm considering buying a set also.

Thanks for answering... people are complaining about that font on the set in question, but it's miles and miles better than what comes on the QFR.

bardomudo · « **Reply #81 on:** Mon, 10 December 2012, 21:58:08 »

I really, really wanted to buy the white set, but unfortunately the ugly font is big deal breaker for me.

Before realizing they are Cherry profile and would not mix well with my existing OEM profile PBT keycaps, I made a quick mock-up to see the lettering really black without the purple/blue fringing, in tenkeyless format and with some blank keys (presumably the ones to be replaced by other keycaps with better fonts).

I'll post it anyway in case someone's struggling with the same issue.

is the font of these not black?

alaricljs · « **Reply #83 on:** Tue, 11 December 2012, 07:47:14 »

The font is black, the issue is the OP's potato pics make it seem purple. These pics show better the blackness of the font.

I'm sorry to be a stickler, but in that photo the space bar is obviously warped. This is a common problem with PBT. I need to know if I should expect it to be straight or warped, and how much warping will it take for a replacement to be sent?

EDIT: 8th photo in OP, or the last photo. (multi color space bar)

No, I meant your autobiography! The path that led to you and your path from there to Greece and beyond.

Mostly that was humor.
