Oooh, these are nice (and those red keys could look really nice on a red keyboard with a dolch set...).

I can't place an order for a week (out of town and can't accept deliveries), I hope they don't immediately sell out.

Heh you could have a red shift at one end of the keyboard and a blue shift at the other end ;)

In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

How noticeable would the profile difference be if you were to use those mods with a DCS profile keyset? Would it look totally naff?

Wow, they had added all the other keys in blue after I had place my order. Placed a second order for those, and Good Guy EK refunded the shipping on my second order without even asking. Nice! Will post up pics when I receive mine, will be this week, should look pretty amazing I hope.

Much better than with OEM keycaps.

Seriously, they should fit in fairly well.  Very well with Imsto caps.

Huh.  I just figured out what these are for:  My Poker HHKB-Style (Poker-H) design for alixinhzai's case.

Need the reds, blues, and greens in black legends and I'll buy.

I was thinking this too but I ended up grabbing them anyway :P If they do bring out red, blues, and greens with black legends, I'll buy again :)) I guess the white legend ones can go another board.

Still no Win or menu keys, and I reckon RGB on Winkey keyboards looks a bit odd, like something is missing.

Anyone got a source for Win and menu keys?

QWERkeys sells a magenta Fn key, which is good :)  But Win?  With white legends?  And the same profile??

Edit: Actually the purple mods from Ivan's GB would probably suit quite nicely (when they eventually arrive, O/S postage), but would clash with the magenta Fn from QWERkeys.

So ... any alternatives for a Menu or Fn key?  Or even a blank, because thinking about it most keyboards I have replace right-menuw tih Fn, but the KeyCool replaces right-Win with Fn.

Black?  Was hoping for something like orange :)

I have a black biohazard 1.25x which would probably suffice, but something more colourful would be ideal.

Got my set of blue caps today.  They are quite nice, though definitely a bit deceptive in the tone.  In person, the blue is a royal blue with just a hint of cyan.  It's very difficult to photograph, so imagine them being a bit darker in person:





The legend is a creamy white (not pure white).  I think these will go well with the off-white of IMSTO PBT, like blue legend IMSTO PBTs (green with green, red with red, etc.)

I received them today. That was a super fast international shipping!

I got every key that was on sale and I love the way they're packaged with the tiny plastic bags.

One big Happy Family, I had to have them all, they look great! (/x-post geekhackmedia)



Unfortunately they forgot one set of red keys, but I am sure they will remedy that.

Looked at those. I don't have besides the mods from a rgby set, a single setup that looks decent with yellow, and all of my cherry sets are white on black, so it really wouldn't look great imo. I need another spacebar from them so I might be placing another order anyway...

I saw this too :))
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Those plastic key cap pullers are utter crap. They all snap sooner or later. Seriously, they should call it the disposable key cap puller.

Does anyone that has gotten the blue set of keys also have the Olivetti set from sherryton?

Is it the same blue (i.e. will they look _awesome_ as "inverted" mods/arrows/wasd on an olivetti board)?

On the positive side, I've never had them scratch a key and they work great in pairs on space bars and other larger keys.
