Help! Lower Case Keycaps
« on: Fri, 12 December 2014, 04:38:02 »
Hi  ;D

Looking to buy some PBT (if possible) keycaps for my Poker II with the letters all being in lower case...

Any help would be much appreciated! (shipping to RSA or the UK)  :thumb:

I believe there's an ergonomic reason why most sets are uppercase. It's easier to recognize capital letters.

If you've seen one that's lowercase, I'd love to see the picture. Might look cool.

^^what he said. I'm completely  deaf and require closed captioning on TV. 99% of CC are in all capitals, lower case CC is a PITA to read quickly

Wait, you're deaf?

I guess being on a forum you don't really get to learn this stuff, but that's super interesting in its own right.

But yeah, road signs are in all caps too, at least in the US.

Yup, lost my hearing due to a neurological disorder I have.

I believe there was a Cherry G81 with that, but I don't know the correct model code. Looks just like this G83 version...

Happy hunting.

thanks for the replies - the search continues I guess! Not in any sort of rush...more an aesthetic than a functional choice in the end

PS: my Poker II just arrived and I must say I am most definitely enjoying the feeling  :p :thumb:
