[IC] Trackpoint caps in more colours
« on: Sat, 10 January 2015, 15:16:40 »
I'm not sure how these could be made or who could make them, but I'm wondering how many others would be interested in getting trackpoint caps produced in different colours. Could have caps made in specific colours to go with particular keycap sets etc. Given that they are just little bits of rubber I'm surprised someone hasn't made them in other colours yet.

I know purple, green, and black exist in the cats tongue variant, but they are practically non-existent, red being the only realistically obtainable colour.

I've knocked up a crude trackpoint rainbow example for imaginative purposes.

I'm thinking of putting one on my X220 as well! Is it compatible though?

I believe so, the ones on the x220 look standard to me (at least when I took them off). I'm just worried about the height.
I'm eyeing the middle fuzzy one hehe.

I've been wanting a TEX Yoda. If I ever get one I would be interested. I wonder who would be able to manufacture caps.

Awesome idea. If they'd fit on an X201, I'm in!
