Need help finding particular backlit keycaps
« on: Fri, 29 January 2016, 06:06:02 »
Hey guys,

Been a while since I've keyboard hopped but I'm doing a new gaming PC build so I figured I'd change things up.

I've been using a HHKB for 4 years at work and I have grown to love the layout. In fact I'd get another one for home, but the layout doesn't lend itself to gaming. Problem is, I find moving to any other layout jarring.

To that end I'm looking at building a Winkeyless B.87, backlit, with a custom key layout to emulate the HHKB, which I can then shift to regular layout when I game.

I jumped on the Vortex PBT backlit caps on Massdrop, but considering the custom layout I'm missing a few keys.

This is the layout image:



The layout I'll be choosing is as follows:

R2: 2.75x shift with 1.75x shift, 1x Fn

R4: 1.75x "| \" key with 1.75x Backspace key

R5: 2x backspace with 1x "| /" key, 1x "~" key

I do realise that I could populate all of these with the numpad caps but I'm OCD so I'd rather get the correct caps.

Is there anywhere that would sell what I'm looking for? Any help would be great!

Cant seem to find the rest, think its not the more commonly used qwerty layout which is common in asia.

Better late than never, but I'd like to thank you for linking those keycaps.

I did end up finding the same ones on Taobao, and have added the shift and Fn to my yet-to-be-installed Vortex set.

The typeface for Fn looks really out of place; the shift not so much. I'll probably just use the decimal point from the numpad for the Fn key.

Cheers again :)
