I think I want to replace my POS work keyboard with a snazzy mechanical one. I use a CM Storm tenkeyless at home with browns and it's great. Is there a non-noisy blue equivalent? Also it would need to have the ten keys and not be super expensive as shipping nerd keyboards to the backwaters of New Zealand gets costy

I am going for something different and i really really like it. Although the functionality isn't really there i won't have quick access to most of the functionality that i am used to i think it's all that you need for casual typing.

This 40% poo poo is just for the try-hards. I do appreciate the turned space bar though. I did that on my Poker and it's kinda nice.

300 NZD for a wasd....no sir, that is too much. Know of any stores that ship internationally that may be cheaper than that?

west coast with a preference for the numpad, so thanks for the offer. i've seen clears pop up very rarely on sale so i'll just keep my eyes open.

Has anyone got the VIM layout from wasdkeyboards? I wonder how durable the UV print is

I'd want those as a fancy doubleshot set but I guess there's a limit to how complicated you can make the legends without the caps deforming

bottom tier printing (pad printed or dye sub could be done in multi color), expect them to start wearing out fairly quickly

an alternative would be to use relegendable caps:

http://pimpmykeyboard.com/dsa-relegendables-pack-of-10/
http://pimpmykeyboard.com/sa-relegendables-pack-of-10/

bit of a diy project, but those will last until you get tired of them

At this stage the single thing delaying me getting a mechanical keyboard has been my inability to find a set of APL keycaps, they're just too good.
