    I'll wait until my orange caps are gone and where I want to p;ace the zinc. It's an eyesore in its current state!

    I live in London, though spend so much time travelling/client side, that I don't get to be in London often but when I do it's usually in the chancery lane area. If there's a viewing of the HHKB happening, would love to try and join - at the moment trying to decide to either get a Pure from Amazon or hold off and get an HHKB so seeing one properly would probably help....

    Course I then need to get the actual purchase past SWMBO but one step at a time...

    :D

    now just need my next package from WASD

    The top symbol will be engraved on a yellow iso enter key
    The middle is again yellow but laser etched like the one I just got - probably be put on scroll lock
    The bottom will be engraved onto red keys x2 - replacements for the winkeys

    It's the graphic for 'the laughing man' from season one of the anime Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.
    I took the text out of the outer ring as I didn't think it would come out on the key - part of me wishes I had tried it anyway as I think it might actually have been legible - testament to the quality of the laser etching. - big time recommendations for WASD !

    You know that Ragnorock over at Geekhack is running a GB for the last image? Red on black and available as ESC and 1.5 modifiers...

    Saw it but wanted engraved rather than printed - and since I have red function keys and arrows from WASD thought I'd best stick with them for a colour match. Order already in and on it's way from the US now.

    suprised you're not in on the skull keycap thread
    Very expensive, but would be cool to have the one with clear eyes for the Pure I just ordered...

    They might be actually, there is a spare WASD set I think, about 10 R4 caps, F and J without the indent and a few more.

    No plans for them but I don't want to sell them unless someone sends me a really good offer.
