If it is, you might want to post on /r/MechanicalKeyboards as they might be all over them!

Thanks, Peri. You’re the best.

And @perifractic 



I'm wondering if you guys can reconsider offering the bare keycap set from WASD.  I'd buy another 2 sets right now if they were available... 

Okay we now have a bare keycap set available via http://commanderx16.com/deluxekeycaps

Currently this is not customisable as we want to keep the design standard (rather than have caps with our logo turn into a sort of MySpace free for all ? ) and we probably won't advertise it outside of this thread, but feel free to share it wherever you wish. Hope it helps!

Sweet! Thank you! 

Ima get another set right now.

They are going to go on this guy:

It has the same configuration as the WASD V3, so the keys should all work (including the modifiers) without any changes.

This is something I would actually consider. I'll gladly plunk down extra money to have a full-featured keyboard and then add the custom keycaps. Not having a numpad, etc. makes the standard X16 WASD keyboard a non-starter for me. I can't justify spending that much on a keyboard and then only use it for the X16. I'd rather have it for cross-development and emulation, where I'd be doing most of my typing, anyway, and then have it for general use on the host system, as well.

Not customizable? Dang. I was hoping to replace one of the big-X keys with a key marked ANY.

Maybe combine these with a set of blank numpad keys (which already exist from various vendors) as a reminder that the numpad isn't supported, if putting this on a 101- through 105-key keyboard.

Hey, Peri... my keycaps arrived on Saturday, and I just now got them installed. They look great on my Velocifire keyboard. 



As you can see, the white backlighting makes the keys usable even in a dark room, although I'll probably never use the backlight under normal circumstances. 

Thanks again for the option to buy the keycaps. I'm 100% pleased with them, and having a wireless PETSCII keyboard for my emulation machine is a dream come true.  ?

 

Wow that looks even better than I expected. You’re welcome!
