Max Keyboard Key Caps For LED enjoyment
« on: Mon, 12 August 2013, 23:53:33 »
Hi,

I wanted to replace my Ducky Shine 3 key caps with some nicer ones and still keep the LED look. I found these. I emailed the person and they said that even though they are ABS plastic, they have a textured surface to them so they don't feel slipery. I am thinking about going for them. Does anyone have any knowledge on these particular keycaps?

EDIT: scratch that--just looked carefully at the zoomed in photos.  These have been available from a vendor or two on eBay.  Could be too bright in practice.

The caps are transparent along the back and far top side.  Will let a lot more light through.  Ducky Shine LEDs are at the far top side--right under the more transparent areas.

Been eyeing these for my Shine 3 as well. There's just not a lot of good options which I'm aware of, currently.

SP has clear blank polycarb sets for $40, if you don't want legends.  Personally I prefer the look of these to the Max Keyboard ones.

Or Ducky have a few sets of their own - grey, white, purple.

Aaand someone in Classifieds is selling a set of Ducky pink IIRC.

"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
