Did you get the red topre caps from that finnish site?

bugfix · 09 Feb 2011, 18:05

I sold my das so I currently only have a 105 Topre and a Customizer. I will get the Realforce 88 as soon as it's available at keyboardco though.

The RF with the colored caps looks like an old Atart 2600 game.

sixty · 09 Feb 2011, 18:06

You need to fix your reds

It looks like Terracotta keys!

keyboardlover · 09 Feb 2011, 18:08

Lol. I got the red caps from EliteKeyboards =)

How would you do the reds sixty?

sixty · 09 Feb 2011, 18:13

I mean you need to fix the red setting on your camera(?). It looks like terracotta color on my screen.

keyboardlover · 09 Feb 2011, 18:18

Sorry...it's a cell phone camera (Droid)

bugfix · 09 Feb 2011, 18:19

Wait was that supposed to be ruby red or what

sixty · 09 Feb 2011, 18:20

Not ruby... Topre red is like blood red. Pretty keys!

Ah just blank escapes.

These yellow ctrl keys are very cool too.

Are they really supposed to be that deep red? In that case those colors are just way off. I always thought those were some custom made keys.

Yeah, now I see it:

Space Invaders!

itlnstln · 10 Feb 2011, 22:31

Space Invaders is a good reference. I was thinking Target Fun, but looking back on it, I was way off:

What I didn't notice about this game when I was a kid was how this game is basically two cocks shooting on faces. Here I was, all of about 7 years old or so, thinking I was shooting guns at targets.

keyboardlover · 10 Feb 2011, 22:34

It probably says a lot about the man you've becum...err...become.

LOL! In my days, it looked different somehow. No faces but spitting monsters.

Here is a version that runs in the text-console:

You have to mod the leds like the italian flag!

keyboardlover · 07 Apr 2011, 20:46

Awesome idea!

RiGS · 08 Apr 2011, 14:56

He can't do that without soldering.

keyboardlover · 08 Apr 2011, 14:57

Cool story, broll.

xbb · 08 Apr 2011, 15:05

If I were him I would do it even if it needs soldering!

keyboardlover · 08 Apr 2011, 15:08

It's a cool idea, I will consider it. Been meaning to learn soldering =)

Where can I get the leds?

xbb · 08 Apr 2011, 15:39

the leds? I usually buy stuff from rs-components here in Italy

ripster · 08 Apr 2011, 19:19
