Keycap suggestion (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by root to c/[email protected]
 

I've always had black or grey keyboards, but decided to change it up with this sky blue zoom tkl.

I think it's gorgeous, but I'm having a hard time visualizing what keycsps might look good on it; Blue is a bit harder to match than black or grey.

I currently have more or less the caps they had in the product page, but they're Cherry profile and I'm looking for some higher quality OEM PBT.

Anyone have any ideas? I know it's mostly personal preference

KAM Superuser would look great against the grey case you have.KAM Superuser

My mistake. Couldn't tell if it was blue or was grey and looked like blue due to lighting.

No problem, it does change quite a bit based on lighting. I only realized today that my current keycaps aren't as good of a match to the blue because it was sunny out XD

I have that same set that you have in this pic but the space bar for some reason catches and doesn’t pop back up properly. It really sucks because I love how they look :(

Dang, my left shift is a bit sticky if you hit it from the far left side, bit spacebar is ok. I got these for like $20 something on Amazon so I didn't expect much. This board deserves better

Dang that sucks about the sticking. If you are looking to get some high end keys, I’ve heard good things about https://kbdfans.com and have been occasionally browsing and thinking about pulling the trigger myself.
