After reading this http://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/dyei ... t2059.html
and finding this http://www.flickr.com/photos/o2dazone/6824827269/ I am planning to get a blank white set of HHKB keycaps and dye it green.
I never experimented with that before and I only want to try it because there are no colored keycaps except the not 100% matching Realforce sets which brings me to my idea:
Is anyone interested in non-printed colored HHKB escape/fn/WASD/arrow keys?
If we would order a set together it would result in:
- $5 => 15 escape keys (one being a bit darker)
- $14/$10 => 3 WASD OR 4 [/;'
- $5 => at least 7 FN keys (next to the right shift)
- $20 => the modifiers (could be split up, too)
The prices are just examples, it will probably a bit more because I doubt that there is interest in all keys (especially not the FN key).
If you add that up we get $172 which is enough to cover the cost of a set of caps, shipping to Europe and various colors of dye.
We could vote for different colors and shipping single keys within Europe is really cheap.
Here is a list of possible colors: http://www.thedyeshop.eu/acatalog/Colour%20Chart.jpg
I don't think they will turn out exactly like those colors and I will probably sacrifice a few keys to test how each color looks.
Share your thoughts, interest or reasons why this will fail big time
