I want double shot key caps, and these are cheap. Theme is black/blue/white with a redish wood desk. K70 has red light, but I probably won't have it on. I like the two color, but the others look nice too.

I recently got a set of PBT-POM doubleshot backlit keycaps from Massdrop and still waiting for it - got two sets in the event I got a Topre board and continue using the board I have now and I gotta say they are gorgeous.  This is what I had got - https://www.massdrop.com/buy/vortex-backlit-doubleshot-pbt-keycaps?mode=guest_open

I think the gold and black will look good with the aluminium backplate of the K70.

It did look nice.

BTW,I have the black aluminum.

The granite and the olivette look nice to

It's a difficult choice as they all look good. x.x I am partial to the darker colors, though :P

I've narrowed it down to "dolce" and "granite"

Not sure...

Zinc are interesting for feel and yeah. Max Keyboard has some good zinc key's and the Dolch looks so nice *_*

My parents don't understand... They don't understand why I want an ft05, and why I want these key caps, says "look like a normal keyboard key caps to me"

I think they will let me buy them tho, they let me buy an ft05 finally

(This is with my own money BTW)

You can tell them that the type of plastic and the fact you can rip apart any computer part or peripheral and make it your own personal blend and touch is why you want them.  It's customization, and it inspires innovation and passion for computers.  First you got a keyboard you are customizing and then one day you get bored, learn programming, and cause the singularity.  Just--the point to get across is why would anyone want to have the same looking thing as someone else when you can mod it and make it personal and have meaning and depth.

Well said.

I will say that.

I'm getting bored of my k70 key caps.
