Fun with blank keycaps
« on: Mon, 14 October 2013, 12:40:37 »
Can anyone post any boards where people have all black keycaps, with words spelled out in printed? Really want to get white blanks for my white HHKB pro 2 and spell fuck out in the upper left hand corner.

Will you not end up with a profile issue?

unless they have some unforeseeable downside (like they're actually made of cream cheese cunningly disguised as ABS)

AGH you're right. I didn't even think of this. This is /ruining/ my aesthetic dreams.

But, in my mind, I could rearrange to my heart's content ;_; So basically, I have to get every letter three times, for every profile, if I want to do this, now.

DSA profile is quite flat, should be perfect for painting

I wonder if you could sand a little off the top of a DSA key cap to make it completely flat.

"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

If you can get DSA for Topre, then you could just fill the board with DSA blanks and the letters would all be the same profile, never seen a set of Topre DSA myself, but not looked much.

Curse the profile! who would want a bumpy fuck?
