G4 - cherry mx keycaps

[CrystalSnowflake]

Ok so if you don't know what I'm talking about by the title then you probably aren't interested.

I have a set of these keycaps pictured below on order and just though I would post about them here just in case there are any other computer nerds interested in these. Here is the link to the site selling the keycaps. http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=37360.0

Those are awesome and so is the rainbow keyboard.  If I wasn't using a lappie, then I'd order a set of keycaps.

Those are pretty (as is the keyboard.).

Oooo... is it okay if I covet your keyboard (and the keycaps too), just a little?

If not, is it okay if I drool?  Those are awesome!

NEAT! I have always wanted a custom keyboard! Quick-off-topic question: where are you getting the rainbow keyboard?

[CrystalSnowflake]

The keycaps are for a type of mechanical keyboard that uses cherry mx switches.
The keyboards are going to be more expensive them most people are used to paying but I LOVE my cherry mx keyboards.
Keycaps for the cherry mx switches are removable so you can replace them with other keycaps whenever you like. The only think you have to be concerned with is the key layout around the spacebar or if you have the 10key or not. Places like the site I linked above often have group buys for keycaps. They make a design and then people sign up to buy the sets and when they have enough people signed up then they do and order. People pay the organizer for their set then when the organizer gets them from the manufacturer then the ship them out. There are always different ones going on all the time. That is where I am getting the rainbow keycaps from.
I think it is pretty darn fun to have a custom keyboard. I figured there are probably a few others on this forum that have keyboards like mine that may be interested in the pony keycaps.

The keyboard that I am going to put the rainbow set on is from this site

The other keyboard I have is this one in green

I will be sure to post in the brag forum once I get them and put them on my keyboard. I am super excited to get them!
