KT and SS
« on: Fri, 26 September 2014, 03:21:09 »
Im interested in some KT and  SS profile caps: http://keycapsdirect.com/key-caps.php
but i have no idea where to get them.

Are there any  caps like this out in the loop(GB or vendor)? Would be cool if someone has some pictures to post.

I’m going to hopefully be able to play with some SS keycaps when SP gets around to making some as a one-off in ~4-5 weeks. (I think they’re currently pretty backlogged. :shakes fist at Granite set:) I’ve never seen a picture of them online.

KT is not available for Cherry MX. (I think it’s either buckling spring keycaps, or some kind of rubber dome? It says “1 MOUNT STYLE AVAILABLE - ROUND SLEEVE”)

You can email SP directly and order a set. Should run you $100–200 for a set of blank caps, depending.
