is there such a thing as mini keycaps ?
« on: Mon, 04 February 2013, 11:38:58 »
So I play a lot of starcraft and its pretty common to take out keycaps you use in game to have a better feel ....

for instance I dont use the 8UKM keys ...so they are just pulled out of my keyboard ... I am wondering if I could just replace those keys with a smaller (height) keycap so I could still feel the difference with my hand but still have a key there to type with anyone have suggestions ?

The flat keys look interesting, if you have an entire keyboard with keys like that then it will be like typing on floor tiles  :P
