has anyone here ever put a nice SA profile key set on a das keyboard? I've got an old model S with blues that is perfectly functional but i've had it so long i've glossed literally every key on the thing and worn off half the legends. It's so bad my fingers actually slip causing typos sometimes



it's like that one but without the FN key. I wonder if a nice set of PBT SA keys would look cool or just clash with the bezel

guide me, keyboard nerds

sa caps sorta call back to older keyboards, but at the end of the day you can do whatever you want with your stuff, really. my only concern is the lack of an fn key, could you take a photo of the board or find one online? i'm concerned that you're running something different than the 1.25u ctrl/alt/win keys and a 6.25u space, which could complicate stuff quite a bit

here are your currently easily accessible maxkey options (ie excluding slogging through taobao):
dolch, ninja (black on black) & portland: https://kbdfans.aliexpress.com/store/group/sa-profile/2230037_511642948.html
white on black: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/MAX...56-bdcffefbf842

nothing's currently running on zfrontier or on massdrop.

alternatively, from a purely aesthetics point of view, i think blank dsa caps would work well with that bezel:
https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...2679203800.html

it's up to you, you could always get a nice set of sa dolch or something for now, move it to god's one true keyboard later (a code in clears) and enjoy the rich, sculpted goodness of sa caps now even if it'd look a bit weird on your star trek bezel

i honestly can't tell the difference between reds and browns

e: and if you prefer clears, i suspect you'd prefer greens over blues, iirc it's about the same stiffness difference between blues and greens than browns and clears

getting something in greens is on my todo list at some point

what's the exact model? 90% chance you have a non-standard bottom row and that... complicates things...

Corsair uses weird bottom rows yeah, so the answer is "wait for a massdrop that comes with the option of paying extra for a corsair-compatible bottom row"

corsair's usual layout:


standard ansi:


getting ctrl keys in 1.5u and super & meta keys in 1u is possible, but that 6.5u spacebar is basically poison; even the super granular 7bit kits just don't do 6.5u, it basically doesn't exist. massdrop won't help here.

pretty much the only people that do corsair spec layouts is max keyboard (not maxkey, the china sa caps) in what i believe is either oem or cherry profile: http://www.maxkeyboard.com/products/cherry-mx-keycap/

in the key configurator choose "large font" for the alpha option and "simple" for the mods, it's not going to be the same as proper double shot sa caps but you do have the option of customizing the key colors, so that's nice
