    Yes, if they have a clear plastic for the first shot. It's how windowed capslock keys are made.

    I think it's a cost thing more than anything else - each new legend that's created costs $45 so the cost of a new set could start at $1000s before anything is even manufactured (that's assuming new legends are required...)

    Ok so I am not to limit my CC giveaway to Topre board owners as there seem to be very few of them! I think that the requirements will be that you have 100 posts and must give your favourite number along with a reason. Oh and boob GIF's will help ;)

    My favourite number is 113. Because it's a prime number, and also if you split it into a 1 and a 13 they are both also prime numbers, and I was born on the 13th, and 13 is normally deemed an unlucky number. But I like it the most because if you gave each number in the alphabet a numerical value, 1 through 26, then 113 is the result you would get from scooby doo :)

    I'm quite new to the world of mechanical keyboards, but I have a Filco Ninja tenkeyless with red switches. I'm at a loss on where is a good place to get hold of compatible key caps, and this thread in impenetrably long!

    Does anyone have any good advice?

    Social, do you have ANSI or ISO keyboard? Anyhting in particular you want like color or?

    In regard to clear legend doubleshot, there is some techincal issue that makes it more difficult. Take the doulbeshot photo I exampled earlier. Notice how there is lines of both colors. Now think about the white as clear, and there is black lines running through the legend. Of course there is ways to avoid that, but certain manufaturer are too lazy to do what is needed.

    It's the ANSI version with the small enter key. Not sure yet what I want, the ninja caps are pretty cool to be fair. Just wondering what my options are for when the inevitable itch kicks in!

    These Vortex PBT sets are one of the best deals around at the moment if the look suits you. There are lots of options for ANSI available though. If you're going to replace the keycap you should always go better than the stock type or you're just wasting money. PBT dyesub and doubleshots are where it's at.
