Filco TKL with colourful keycaps from QWERKeys

[ped]

I received my keycaps from Sleabo at QWERKeys yesterday and thought I'd share. This is total McKEYMouse Effect but I like the way it turned out. The top row wasn't organized in any particular way, and maybe I should change that.

I have some of the first modifiers they made on this keyboard too, the entire bottom row, minus the space bar, is from QWERKeys. I don't have an ANSI enter, caps lock, or a left shift from them, and I only have one 1.5 tab key.

I don't know what the dimension restrictions are for uploading to Deskthority and it kept giving me errors so I am just linking to imgur images for now. Here is the album.

I think that's all I have to say for now.

Looking good mate.

[GeorgeStorm]

I cannot wait until they can do all the keys.
Some of the colours are fantastic

How do they feel to type on?

[off]

+1 on both.
How's the profiles feel? I think you've got both K and J right?

O_o you should know that, you tried them both at the party xD

[off]

I knooooow, just not all that conciously, as with most things there... felt like a kid in a toystore, no time for critical testing, mostly just 'WANT!'..

[phetto]

Nice xD

[ripster]

I want the Lambda key!

error: not found.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamda

Or buy a set and receive a lambda key with your purchase!*
*while supplies last

[Djuzuh]

There will be a GB on GH for the lambda key.

[ripster]

Yeah, I'm in it!

@GeorgeStorm/off Ehh... well I like them but they feel like plastic? The Filco keys are a lot smoother, but maybe that's cause they are a year old. In any case I think that the texture on the Filco keys is almost not there while these have some texture to them, the profile isn't massively different. I'm really not very good at this... probably not the right person to ask about this kind of stuff.

But yes, I have K and J series on my keyboard. The function row, save for print screen, scroll lock and pause, is only K series, and the rest of the keyboard is J series with some remnants from Filco mixed in.

@ripster How are you in it? You're banned and the IC/GB opened after you got banned.

[off]

Not massively different even the K-series? You mean when comparing to what SP refers to as 'Row 1' (F-keys) I guess; since they at least appear to be quite different to for instance 'SP row 3' (caps, home row)..
Do you notice anything with respect to how your switches feel with these presumably (relatively) much heavier caps?

[ped]

Haha, okay so obviously the K series are very different from the standard Filco/Cherry/SP keys! Since I put them on the function row, and I barely use that row, I haven't really felt any difference. I think that the J series keys feel slightly less flat in comparison to the standard Filco keys, but that might just be the texture.

I've moved the K series to the number row now, but again, I don't really use that a whole lot... If I had enough to cover the alpha keys it'd be great, but I didn't order that many. The surface of the key is much large and you keep your finger much higher than the J series keys... I can take some photographs for you to compare the heights. I'm not so good at describing things... Also, Devlin/QWERKeys refer to the rows the same way it seems. Row 3 is home row.

I am trying to notice the difference in switch feel... but it's difficult to judge. I only have MX Black for now. Still waiting on the Phantom GB to be shipped for me to receive a few hundred switches to try different setups with.

[off]

I already have those here!
Then again I wasn't expecting any of the true 'Phantom' stuff..

More pics = better, always!

[ripster]

Yeah, I'm in it!

Woohoo!

Got my order in.

Guess who I am NOW iMav?

[off]

aesthetics seems like a safe bet.

I'm running the Lambda group buy over there, should I bring it here too ripster? I don't really have a problem with doing that.
