Classic Beige set for Filco?
« on: Sat, 08 February 2014, 17:16:12 »
Does anyone know where I can get a classic beige otaku set for a filco? Something like this -

filco ninja mj2 tkl · mx brown · black case · blank black pbt
varmilo va87mr tkl · gateron red · black case · dye sub pbt ❤
vortex pok3r rgb · mx silent · white case · blank xda pbt

I don't think that is a complete set for the Filco, unless I'm missing something.

That set is the appropriate layout for the keyboard in the OP's post, but AFAIK Filcos have 1.25x modifiers, so yes you'll be short a bunch of modifiers

The BSP dye sub set doesn't have 1.25x modifiers or a spacebar.  If you want similar looking Cherry profile thick PBT keycaps that would fit a TKL or a full-sized Filco, your best bet is to get a blank set from IMSTO.  It will have all the proper sized caps for a standard Filco.

You should talk to imsto, he can probably provide a blank two tone pbt set.

I will make sure it is done right next time... Actually, assuming everything is all good with using PLUM I will likely use them moving forward for PBT. PLUM have a lower MOQ and seem to be a lot more willing to do certain things.

Awesome I'm basically looking for the Originative two tone set but with fixed tab, extra stepped capslock, and windows 8 logos.  I'm in for at least 2.

btw, SpamRay has been trying to sell a similar set, except it's got legends. Maybe he can give you a tip or two.
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

Yes :)

When you do could you please add the option to get blank win caps if you decide to use the win8 logo on the sets with legends?.

I simply can not force myself to like that win8 logo.

If I'm not missing any thing, the image that you quoted is Imsto blank.
It is the one that you are looking for - Otaku for Filco.
You can see in the right top corner the white cap locks with center stem and the stepped cap locks with off-center stem.
I like linear switches
