back at the office for the foreseeable future, so i got my door back and no more "6 people to a single work desk" startup tom fuckery, so the m is my daily boar again

is there such a thing as ~bespoke artisanal~ model m caps? i yearn to have a dolch look but p much everything is for cherries

Not that I've seen, but stock model M keycaps are already dye-subliminated PBT so there isn't much room for improvement other than looking cooler

Doubleshots would def. be neat but I have yet to see anyone actually wear the lettering off of a subliminated cap

i was thinking more from a looks point of view than functional, i've yet to see a model m with faded keys

i do have a spare in a fucky french canadian layout, i might try to leave all the plastic components in black plastic dye for a few days to make a murdered out model m, it's yellowed anyway

coolermaster make a good value mech keyboard (QuickFire XT) with an ugly font. if you get mx blues you wont regret it except its annoyoing for others. if you get browns it'll bring sweetness into your life and heart. if you choose clears then you will have chosen very wisely indeed. if you have the money to spare buy a WASD with clears (or CODE with claers if you like backlighting) and you will be sorted for life

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

what model? (there's a handy guide on deskthority)

the made-in-Japan model from 1989 has Mitsumi, not ALPS, keyswitches—which I find superior are totally inferior and you should find an ALPS board and let me take your Mitsumi board and dispose of it properly if that's what you have
