yerp! prefer black and empty stuffs .. mind showing a pic of your hhkb w/ the keycaps?

wow there's even a RMB50 keycaps.... that's really cheap!!

yeah.... but I figured since it won't be too hard to find keycaps, I just get it instead

Yup, that is the Keycool one I mentioned all this while.

The spacebar stem position is different, thus can't fit. May be you can consider other colors of spacebar? They are available singly in taobao at only 10RMB.

BTW, if you are getting CM Quickfire, get the 87 keys one instead of 104 keys. Because the 87 one having windowed keys for backlit for indicators LED, while 104 one don't, and so most other 104 keys set(including the FILCO one you asked).

well, i saw someone in a chinese forum wrapped carbon fiber sticker around the keyboard casing to eliminate the overbranding of CM....

And so many geekhackers did it too.

Seriously, I wonder if anyone actually like their overbranding...

There's only 2 CM logos on my QFR since i change the keycaps, 3 if you count the one on the side.

carbon fibre sticker sounds nice =D

by the way, what is the duration of the warranty for CM quickfire rapid?

Here you go, don't regret what you ask for.

i'm imagining a lot of keycaps of different theme all over the kb already

what I found in wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylonitrile_butadiene_styrene
Generally ABS would have useful characteristics within a temperature range from -20 to 80 °C

any help with that? should I heat the dye liquid up to 80 °C then stand for a few hours, then let it cold down by its own?
ABS's melting point is 105°C thou, should have no problem boiling the liquid since the boiling point of water is 100°C only right?
or how about stewing it? with 2 pot, 1 small fill with water and boil them and 2nd pot in the middle, with the dye liquid......

Damn, I m starting to felt excited, I will definetly going to try this out.

this might sound noob but i just realized that ducky's Fn key + F1 to F7 can control foobar without any extensions or programs

Haha. Thanks for that info. I didn't know that stuff about ABS. How about you try around 70 deg first, and then slowly increase until the dye goes in or your keycaps melt? Give it a few hours before you increase the temperature. If you add extra stuff besides the dye in the solution, be careful. Remember your science class talking about adding salt to raise the boiling point? I have a German friend who told me he will never use water above 60 deg for his ABS caps... (just letting you know)

That double pot method may work (I guess) but, if I were you, I'd keep the temperature below 90 degrees. 100 seems too high. And I'll still stir the thing throughout the time it is in the solution. After you do your experiment, let us know the results.

You are right, I have to check the temperature of double pot stewing the dye solution before really put the ABS keys in to the pot.
a few hour you say? how long exactly is it? is it visually seem ok mean ok?
I m now waiting the keycaps to arrive. hopefully it arrive before Diablo 3, if the Diablo 3 are here, I might abandon all other projects

Nothing much for now,
this is how it look like for now:



those I ask you to get from Geekhack group buy can't fit onto this.

But some I asked Epiguru to get from EK are gonna fit on. Will post some photos when got them.

•High durability PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) keycaps (Spacebar is ABS)

And, why the heck is the spacebar is ABS???

it's a good discovery, no?

oh ya, your previous post the link seems unavailable >"<... erm, do u mean the windows key has some small transparent area for backlit? cause quickfire rapid dun have led for windows key... only got led for window lock, scroll lock and caps lock... somewhat like the keycool keypads linked...

LOL i thought of doing the same thing, although I thought of using anime wallpaper instead of CF

wahhh nice.... sleek! i really prefer these kind of keyboards afterall

I mean the windowed keys, not Windows key. Scroll lock and Caps lock need them.

you can type without seeing the keyboard entirely?
i can only touch type to a certain level...


PS: why HHKB Pro2 sooooooo freaking expensive???? Around RM1k each.....

ohhh i get what you mean now... i guess it's fine since i dont really need the LED... in fact, i think it's a little bit annoying although it does give some *bling* effect haha

Is KBC PBT spacebar compatible with Keycool 87 or not?

ABS deforms very easily under high heat, please be aware of this issue.
