Keycaps

Light Themed

Amazon - Purple-White Rabbit Theme Keycaps Japanese Radical Cherry Profile (135pc) - $50 + $11.50 shipping
Notes: Not a fan of the characters on the custom keys. Says "Super" not "Win"!

image

Amazon - Honey-Milk Japanese Radical Cherry Profile (137pc) - $33 + $11.50 shipping
Notes: Looks really nice, though the white theme wont fit my current desk. I wish more keys had yellow options.

Amazon - Coral-Sea XDA Profile (108pc) - $28 + $10.60 shipping
Notes: Not a fan of the whole "ocean" theme, though the art and style looks amazing. Not a fan of the font either. XDA profile might mess with things.

Amazon - White Japanese Radical Cherry Profile (135pc) - $30 + $12.15 shipping
Notes: Nice keycaps if I decide to go plain white. Could probably mix with another set.

Notes: Only two keys with color, a little bland. No custom prints.
