So I've been typing on this keyboard (Rosewill RK-9000BR) for just over a year now and the 3/octothorpe/pound/numbersign/whatever key has decided that doing nothing most of the time I press it would be more interesting than leading life as a normal, productive keyboard key. My question is, is there ...

Oh god those NASA keycaps... so ugly... so good.

I- Is that... a "RUB OUT" key?

So I got mine today - despite university-related shipping mishaps. (I kindof moved out by the time they got here, but they were kind enough to hold it for me.) Unfortunately, I've run into a wee bit of a problem with the stabilisers. They um... they don't fit. The center stem fits over the cherry sw...

I may do that... while I'm in there I should probably adapt it to USB properly, as I have zero computers that use ADB anymore. There's enough working switches on the keyboard that one could build a tenkeyless or something.

I just love that classic apple keyboard font.

How likely would these fit my Apple Extended Keyboard II? It's got some dead keys I'd like to fix.

Of course, I've kindof put myself on 'buying things off the internet' probation after the money I dropped on those DSA retro keycaps...

Well, it looks like orders are closed for real now, so I can't change it. As long as it arrives before May I should be fine. Worst case the university will forward it to my parents' house if I'm already gone and I'll have to explain keycaps to them. Luckily it's not international so there won't be a...

I had a dumb thought just hit me in the face: This being my first foray into the world of keycaps, when should I expect them to arrive after everything is said and done? Don't get me wrong — I'm not expecting them fast or anything. If, however, they're going to take a few months I need to consider c...

Yeah, the paypal one. It's the mention of "GH or DT user name..." OOOH WAIT "with your GH or DT user name as a back-up" was a separate thing. You got me this time, English, but we WILL MEET AGAIN!

I am the US proxy for this group buy, and have begun contacting buyers using the e-mail addresses you entered with your GH or DT user name as a back-up. I have already found one large order where both were invalid. So if the paypal address is fine in the order system all's good? 'Cause I don't know...

I just realised that the ~200 sets of keys is a relatively small number. It makes me feel like I have a collectors edition of something :P I wish I could get deep dish on D and K as in the old mac keyboards (homing on middle, not pointer, fingers) but it's fine as it is. Besides, I'm not building My...

Well considering the price of my keycap order just exceeded the price I paid for the keyboard they'll be going on... I guess I won't be ordering any extra keys (besides both styles of spacebar (I'm not sure which one is the exact fit for my keyboard and I'm paranoid about ordering the wrong one. (mu...

I'm 90% sure I know what to order for an ANSI keyboard now... but I'm thinking this opportunity won't come up again. In the future, it's possible I might buy myself a JIS layout keyboard of the same filco variety. (Right now I have an ANSI Rosewill that reviews say has the same layout as a filco) Lo...
