Filco Minila Replacement Keycaps
« on: Tue, 09 July 2013, 23:33:08 »
So, I am one person that bought a minila keyboard ;)   It's been a GREAT keyboard for me, except for those sad, sad keycaps

First off, why?  well, the stock keycaps are by far the worst keycaps I have ever seen.  They're cheap feeling (compared to my loved CM keycaps) and the legends are bumpy on them (I assume this means they're pad-printed).

I'm looking for ABS or PBT(preferred) keycaps to replace them.  Finding normal sets isn't hard, but nothing has a replacement cap for the mini spacebar.  I REALLY want to get better keycaps, but I also require that the new keycaps match in color and texture.

any advice for me?

I'm a fan of side-prints, so those are preferred.

There are no readily available space bars for it. And I think they only way to get those modifiers is to buy a dsa set. Even then they won't have the right legends on them.
Looking for CC's!

Correct.  I doubt you'll find any spacebar for that keyboard.  That said, black will match other black sets without jumping out.  I use a Filco black spacebar with a Cherry Doubleshot white on black set and it matches fine.
