I must say you did a great job, getting rid of a part of these ugly black keycaps that were not matching with the camo. I like it very much.
If I was sure to get quickly that kind of doubleshots I would buy this Filco multicam in blues.

are the black keycaps doubleshots or the original filco ones?
You could put khaki green instead of the black as well

They are black doubleshots from a early Geekhack Key group buy from Signature Plastics. The font is really thin and not very good so I am replacing it with one made from custom artwork in a different Signature Plastics group buy.

For a key manufacturer Signature Plastics sure doesn't know much about fonts.

You can see how the darker Cherry Corp doubleshots are MUCH better.

How can you tell where it is on your desk ?

Must admit when I first read about the camo filco I thought great one I dont have to add to the collection,
but TBH it looks much better than I would have guessed.
That might just be down to the group one 2shots

Thanks!

But for some reason these Signature Plastic keys are catching a bit on the stabilizers. Not sure why - I lubed them up before putting the keys on.

I'll report back in a week if they don't break in.
