It may have some PBT keycaps
You will obviously get SKCM whites, but will it have a black plate?
Maybe it will have some SKCM blacks too
But that's a bit black and white. Hopefully it will have some color as well
Orange is nice, but it would be nice if something balanced it a bit
Of course, spacebar should be clicky, and what's more clicky than SKCM Amber
But it may be too heavy for regular keys, so if white is to bland and amber is too heavy, what do we put in for regular keys...
So, really, you never know what you're gonna get
And one pic with all keycaps off except stabilised ones - shifts have greens, numpad keys have whites, backapsace and enter have blues. Those orange switches in the F key positions sound _really_ deep. I simply love them.
Now, in a perfect world, this would be it, and I'd be typing on it right now. (Keen eyes might note that I still have to glue back spacebar dampeners as well). However, of those ~60 blue switches, only about a third is working. They were in horrible condition to start with, but I think I managed to clean them quite well, so they are, if not excellent, still quite nice. Also, most of them had upstroke click, and I went through a lot of combinations of slider/top housing/click leaf when assembling them to get them to be quiet on the upstroke, which was _really_ tedious. On a couple, upstroke click has actually returned, but I don't think it will be unfixable. That's the reason why whites are on the numpad as well. And the fact, that I don't use numpad anyway. I thought they would drown in all the colors around them, but they turned out to be brightest of them all
For now though, I will either try to clean switchplates (hammer and contact leaf especially), try to get some working grey switchplates or get a whole other set of SKCM blues (I have ambers to trade
).Oh, and I almost forgot
I was thinking of putting orange/green/blue where the blacks are, to keep up with the RGB theme, but right now, I'm missing a green switch. Would be fun to check how Matias red slider would fit in as well.
