IC/GB CLOSED
Hello,
I have posted this up before,
and I closed it hastily and now reopening it again due to
mis-communication with SP.
Kindly spend 1-2 minutes to
browse through this:
Introduction
The story is that I bought a couple of glow caps from
Signature Plastics couple of weeks back.
Attached is a
photo of a glow cap (in the middle):

I don’t know
how many of you like glow caps, but I am one of those who go
crazy over them.
They look good on both backlit and
non-backlit keyboards. Please continue reading for what I
have to “present” for these glow caps.
However, they are BLANKS, they only come in R4 profiles
so there isn’t any 104 sets around! Thus, I have created
this thread to garner interest in this.
Backlit keyboards
These glow
caps allow LED light from backlit keyboards to shine through
them much better than the KBC PBT white keycaps. The follow
photo is taken from my trigger.
Under normal lighting
conditions (FN Row: Glow caps, Print Screen: KBC PBT White
on black):

Under dark conditions (FN Row: Glow
caps, Print Screen: KBC PBT White on black):

Under
dark conditions, Ducky SHINE (multiple color LEDs) using KBC
PBT White on black keycaps:

If you notice closely,
the white KBC PBT key caps has “red dots” on them.
The
glow caps on the other hand, allow the light to “diffuse”
and spread out evenly throughout the top half/* of the
keycap, giving a eerie feel. Well, in short, it gives off a
very big dot under clear lighting conditions and gives off
no dots during dark conditions.
The caps glows slightly
after the LED is switched off. Still visible to the naked
eye within 2-3 meters of view.
The two photos are taken
from my Trigger at brightness level 1 (it has 5 levels of
lighting). Given such low brightness, the glow cap is able
to propagate to a brightness clearly under normal lightning
conditions which the KBC white caps doesn’t do. Not that
this is the differentiating point, just saying.
The
photos do not do justice to them as I’m not good and
photography and I’m not sure if it will convince you. Black
legends will definitely be well received than
engraved/blanks.
/*Since the LED is located at the top
of every cherry MX switch.
Non-backlit keyboards
I have nothing much to say about these on non-backlit
keyboards as I’m a fan of backlit keyboards.
They look
normal on them, but giving it an additional glow effect
would be awesome.
They can easily replace black on
white keycaps, in my opinion.
The black on
“white/greenish tint” can easily be distinguished even in
the dark like other normal white keycaps do.
