Keycaps for WASD V2?
« on: Wed, 13 August 2014, 00:29:53 »
I'm thinking about buying a TKL barebones WASD V2, but I'm not sure where to get keycaps for them.  I'm looking for blank PBT keycaps but I can't seem to find them anywhere.  Hoping to keep it around 40 dollars shipped so my total with the keyboard will be around $150

They're not blank, but I have a set of white Vortex PBT doubleshots with red lettering I'll sell you for $35 shipped. PM me if interested.

The Leopold set does have an extra 1.25 that could be used for ISO left shift and an extra 1 unit key to use for the key next to shift. Then you just need an ISO enter from elsewhere and an extra 1 unit for the caps lock row if on a full size. TKL or smaller can use key from the numpad for that. This set would be a good match in feel and profile for those TA typewriter dyesubs.

You could always grab one of their custom sets. I believe it is $50, and you have the ability to choose custom colors. A friend of mine has a set, and the blanks are decent quality.

For the money WASD keys are a poor choice as they are really not very nice. There are other options that are much higher quality that cost considerably less. WASD keycap only saving grace is they offer the option to have any random thing put on them the buyer wishes. Unless custom legends is the top priority there is really no reason to buy caps from them.

Is there anywhere that I can buy an 87 set?

Ok here's the deal, i recieved my Leopold Set yesterday (Black side print) and i have tried it the entire day, and it's a MAJOR upgrade to the stock Poker II keycap. I have a 60% board (less than 87 keys) and i'd say even if i had to pay full price for the keycap set, the quality is WAY over the edge. Side print ensure the legend will never fade away, too.

They are available Black or Navy, Side print, Top print or Blank.

Just like IvanIvanovich said, there's simply no better PBT caps around.

It's slightly more expensive but it's totally worth the price, and you'll have spare caps for other projects. Be carefull doe, they are SUPER sharp and pointy on the bottom.

Thanks for the information.  I think I may end up just getting the full set then, black blank.  Or would white on a black case look nicer? I'll figure that out later.  How long does it usually take to ship from korea though?

Careful, there is no blank black leopold PBT for sale on ebay. The only blank set is Navy.

READ LOLKEY COMMENT ABOVE I THINK HE'S RIGHT AND NO BLANK SET ARE AVAILABLE.

Side print black set is what i have and it's pretty damn sweet&sexy Tuxedo millionaire classic style.

I ordered July 24, they shipped the same day, came in this monday August 11th. They gave me  tracking information ASAP and the packaging was real good, rectangular boxed and bubble wrap over the plastic shell containing your caps. Also contained an additional bag with a CENTERED-STEM CAPS LOCK (dude, you can't believe how rare that is now a day) and some unstandard shift keys for their keyboard.

Still very good deal i totally left a nice "eBay multicultural too-kind feedback"

""
Really professionnal packaging and very kind seller would buy again.

5 Star rating i give to you my friend yay!!

Hope you have great day and great upcomming business oportunities!!!!!

Yeah that's the kind of funny stuff i drop on eBay hope it'll make them laugh or something.
