pram posted:nice one mate. good on ya thanks my only problem w/ these keycaps is the row 1 keys are only half backlit- the symbols have full backlight but the numbers underneath only have a partial backlight other than that, they're very good keycaps i would really like a keycap set modeled after either the solarized dark or jellybeans colorschemes though

echinopsis posted:ive got the black vortex pbt backlit ones yeah i'm not sure if it's the board's backlights themselves or the keycaps, but honestly it doesn't bother me so much since i don't look at my keyboard 99% of the time i'm just glad my coworkers are ok with me using mx blues and haven't tried to murder me yet

"my only problem w/ these keycaps is the row 1 keys are only half backlit- the symbols have full backlight but the numbers underneath only have a partial backlight" dunno where the issue is- backlights or keycaps- but since i only paid like $20 on massdrop for the set i'm not that bothered by it

Supposedly the older style of cherry mx led switch are pretty prone to failures due to mechanical stress and getting zapped by static, they're the ones that has the led poking all the way through the switch like on my g710+

pram posted:"Yes Right! Cut down the Apple PCB, put it into a Poker case. = Both are the standard layout." since they just use alps switches, seems to me like a better (and less destructive) solution would be to either make a custom pcb or find a board that can be populated with alps that has the right layout. then stick the apple keycaps on it. i hate the idea of hacking up my nice old apple keyboards! although im not sure what that pok3r-AEK does any better than a IIGS keyboard, except lacking a numpad
