Post your RGB keycaps here.

For starters, a Filco Fukka and an IBM Space Saver with RGB keycaps.

Hi webwit!

Where did you get those RGB keycaps for the IBM keyboard?

Unicomp. I just placed a new order yesterday because I was running out of them. Let's hope they still have more available.

winkeyless RGB from devlin (ABS).

winkey RGB from SP (PBT).

Those RGB keys would be neat on a blank keyboard.

Don't like the Blue and Green colour of these. May be it is just photo but seems they are too bright.
Hope sixty's are much darker than these.

Yes, mine was brighter. 60's are different color code.

I ordered some new RGB keycaps for IBM, and according to the quote by Chuck, the left Red Ctrl is $0.50 per cap, but the right Red Ctrl is $2.00 per cap. Also a big shift is $0.50, but the small red escape $2.00. Unicomp, at your service. Usually I just give up on these arguments and tell him to charge my credit card.

Damn, those Unicomp ones are nice. I need to get me some of them for my terminal model F.

Koeitje · 05 Mar 2011, 02:34

Where did you get those for the Filco?

webwit · 05 Mar 2011, 02:46

Those are Alps rgb caps, scarface gave them to me.

calavera · 05 Mar 2011, 20:40

Damn, the more I look at them the more I want them.

We have a group order running here together with some guys from OTD right now. That would be your chance for Cherry compatible (winkeyless) ones.

I'm looking for winkey ones though. I might buy a set either way just so I own a set.

Sainesk · 05 Mar 2011, 21:46

do these server a similar purpose as different colored wasd keys do?

snerual · 05 Mar 2011, 23:12

Just looking at the pictures makes me want to get RGB keys for all my boards. I've already signed up for one Cherry MX RGB set. But what I really want is some RGB sets for my Model M's. Guess I'll have to contact unicomp for those. Are those RGB unicomps one or two-piece keys?

Webwit, my fellow Dutchman, it's all your fault - you're to blame!

IIRC - The IBM ones are two piece for the ctrl and alt, but one part for the shifts.

snerual · 05 Mar 2011, 23:33

Thanks sixty! I'll touch base with unicomp (and see if they have any left after webwit's purchase).

It might be for the newer Win-key Unicomps and not for the older IBMs. The left Ctrl is wider on the Unicomps with Windows keys, and they might price the keys differently.

The IBM key caps are really nice and so I wanna get those ones.
Is it still possible to order them on unicomp online website ?

Wow, it's really really beautiful~

Nope. They are very rare... sometime last year I found a big batch of them:

By now all are gone besides 1 set that I keep formyself... and some extra shift keys
