I asked if they could make some keys of the same color as filco white and was asked to send a sample so they could match it. I have only one filco white and don't want to pull out a key just to send it as as sample so i hope some of you know what color code i should ask them for.

I do not have a white Filco, so I can't pick for you. Maybe you can judge the cloesest from this picture.

I would guess WCK or WFK is close to the Filco cream white.

Thanks sixty!
I'll also ask filco (edit: i mean diatec)if they can tell me the color code and perhaps that way SP could match it more exactly.

I don't think Diatec/Costar will release such information, since afterall you are using it to make a third party product for their keyboards. May as well be used to make better bootlegs. I once asked about spacebar dimensions and they were not revealed to me for those reasons.

How do the cream Cherry doubleshots sit against the Filco white? I've never seen them side by side.

you can still order samples plastics from sp in th group buy 3 (35 dollars if i remember).

$35! I get color wheels free from my paint store.

Maybe if they just published the Pantones.

do you think they know what is Pantone?

these are samples of plastic, i paid 20$ for some wool samples ...

Well, sixty was right. I got one of the most polite responses from them that i have ever read. But no cigar.
I know i've seen a tool for color sampling. Where can I get one of those?

Now that is cool. Too bad that device already looks like it will cost more than a double-shot run of every single color.

Melissa wasn't so polite when I asked them if they could do something, and they didn't reply at all. Twice. Apparently Melissa saw my email, twice, and thought.. hmm.. it's almost 5 o'clock, let's move it to this little trashcan. Melissa was rude. And not very smart. I spend my money elsewhere.

where ?

is there another double shot keys supplier ?

somewhere hidden... there must be someone!

Who says I spend it on double shot keys?

is there a life beyond keyboards ?
