Blackwidow ultimate 2013 keys

[darkmage1991]

i bought a blackwidow ultimate to replace my old microsoft sidewinder but theres one thing i dont like. and thats the keys. the numbers and letters glow nicely, but all the shift modifiers do not.

 

does anyone know of a set of keys to replace these with that have the modifers being able to light up with the letters and numbers? i have seen the max keyboard tranlucent ones and just think there dumb so i dont want them. i have taken a needle and skratched the whgite off the modifer symbols and that makes the light shine threw to allow them to glow but that gives a very rough feel to them. i am not looking for anything special, like side printed letters or anything like that, just want anything printed on the keys to light up to see at night.

 

any suggestions are helpful

I think you can just get regular Cherry MX replacement keys.

oh ok i was under the impression each keyboard had different spacing so the keys had to be tailored to that keyboard.

Just make sure you get the keys made for your stabilisers.

ok dumb question, im looking at keycaps and none of them actually say if backliting shines threw them. do all chery mx keycaps allows backliting to shine threw them? or is this something i should check with the seller about?

The MechanicalKeyboards subreddit has a pretty great wiki on various stores and sellers.

I ya checked every single store posted, none had translucent letter on the keys, the closest i could find were translucent keys with solid opaque letters

ducky has a keycap set that supports backlights. Good luck finding them though. There was a guy a few months ago trying to find purple ones and the only place that had them in stock was PC case gear in australia.

does ducky not sell just the keycaps?

Didcha try maxkeyboard?

They have a set of top print translucent black key caps that I've been mentally masturbating about getting......

 

A good source to buy mechanical keybaords is here, they carry a very wide range of keyboards from the usual mainstream one to even Vortex, Tex Beetle and Keycool.....and Matias.
