Now the theming is all tied together! Beware of my dessert themed battle stations!

Hey, pals!
Has anyone experience with FKCaps custom ?
https://fkcaps.com/custom/
I would live to create (and buy!) my own perfect set for my , but even though I'm aiming at DSA PBT, I'm wondering if laser-printed labels would last longer or not.
Are there similar alternatives to this service, with dye-sub or double-shot?

I went from a hodgepodge of MT3 keycaps to a beautiful arrary of transparent cherry profile caps 😎

I've bought an ErgoDash and I'm using it with the Italian (142) layout on my OS.
It's obviously impossible to find with such layout (it's even difficult to find normal Italian layout...) so I'm planning to search for a custom set.
I've found https://fkcaps.com/custom/ that's quite nice but in USA, so low shipping but high custom fees and additional VAT.
Is there're something similar in Europe?

Boop here's the I use everyday: the CTRL!

It was one of the first big purchases I made when I first got a job back in 2019 😭

I gave it new and hand lubed each switch, even replaced the stabilizers. All-in-all I'm pretty proud of what I did with it, even if it's not the thockiest.

What are the keys with tactile bumps called?

I use a different layout to type, but I'd like to be able to have my physical layout reflect what I'm actually typing. The problem is that moving the F and J keys to where they should be means the home row would be missing the tactile bumps, and I use those to recenter my hands when I'm not looking. I'd like to add keycaps for...

Does anyone know where I could get a set of rainbow keycaps (ideally quite pastel) for my ErgoDox EZ?

Really struggling to find anything. Happy to cobble something together by buying the same set multiple times if needed.

O ring time!

What's the point in buying a keyboard with quiet brown switches if I end up clackity-clacking anyway as the key hits the bottom of the downstroke?

Seems to be working :)

Planning out my next keyboard build, I waiver between two sets at opposite ends of the spectrum. I want all the colors or I want none 🫠

Drop has a new dark Solarized (my open source colorscheme) keycap set. It looks great & is discounted right now. (No affiliation with this set, they produced it on their own. Not a sponsored post, this is just me proud that my colorscheme continues to be loved by many). https://drop.com/buy/drop-dcx-solarized-dark-keycap-set

I mean, I had noticed some yellowing of the GMK Colorchrome , but I just came across an unused one…

In reality, they look even yellower. Not quite as yellow as some of the ST keycaps, but the Colorchromes are less than a year old! At least they have all yellowed equally.

The same as before, but with two Atari ST keycaps for comparison. One of the ST keycaps still has its original gray color, but the other is very yellow.

Back home and the first project was to convert my frankenboard into a more retro game inspired theme. Here is the before and after:

I made a slight change… This required more work than I was anticipating 🫠

Did anyone ever think about refinishing the base of a keyboard to make translucent shine brighter than in front of a black base? Well… here it is!

DSA Keycap Set. Have y’all got this yet? Seriously one of my absolute favourite sets, especially if you’re a scrabble/word enthusiast.

Well, I am feeling fancy. I added media keys to my split keyboard. I think it looks pretty neat.
