    Was very close to getting one but went with my filco. I think with the shipping and caps deal I spent nearly as much!

    Maybe some day but I'm happy with my look rite now

    White letters and arrows, white esc, F4-F8, and Del- ect. Blank blacks everywhere else.
    What I do need to make it work are some blank grey modifiers, and they're not available. :(

    Might go for this one.. maybe. I'm weighing up whether to get one customised at source so to speak or whether it'd be cheaper to get a keyboard elsewhere and custom keycaps seperately.

    Customized at source will get you exactly what you want.

    If you buy a board and get caps separate it works out about the same cost I think.

    Hmm.. okay, good to know. Btw, my ocd is kicking in regarding the windows keys - I've tried to center them but they refuse to play ball. Anyone managed it?

    No I have struggled with the keyboard creator though!

    Why not have all blank modifiers? Looks really nice and clean :)

    Its just the way it's designed isn't the most intuitive.

    I haven't got access to it atm but iirc one set of options controls the vertical positioning independently of the other set of options that controls the horizontal positioning.

    Took me a while to work that one out :)

    Other than that I think you can open a default config and the Windows symbols should be all default?

    It's on the screen where you select the keys. Tick them, then look just under the keyboard at the bit saying "Alignment". Voila! :)

    I know this is a very silly question, but I take it none of WASDs blank modifiers fit the Choc Mini?

    The Race/Pure have recently become available on Amazon, I'd personally have a look at either of them, although it depends on what you want really.
