Could anyone tell me if the PCB board has solder points for LEDs? I'm not too familiar with PCB boards and soldering so I can't tell just by looking at the picture.

AndrewLekashmanI bought the infinity keyboard at the first drop, but without keycaps. Is there a way to just purchase the keycaps? Or do you know of a drop coming up for keycaps for the infinity keyboard?

silent_tofuIf you got Cherry MX keys then any MX compatible key caps would fit. There're frequent MX keycap drops on this site.

EliNBut the problem is that this board has odd shaped keysizes. a standard set of keys would likely be missing some keysizes required.

silent_tofuYeah if you have the MX switches, you can probably put together the keys from http://keyshop.pimpmykeyboard.com/products/full-keysets/dsa-blank-sets-1

aaronvbI'd really appreciate some confirmation on this. My preference is printed caps, but if sizing is an issue I want to know going in.

massiverIt looks like key (pun intended?) differences are these: - Backspace is cut in half, room for two keys there - Right shift is smaller to make room for a new key to its right
Since it's only 60% you'd have some spare keys from most sets you can buy. It would mean that these four keys would be labelled improperly, but I guess the alternative is having all your keys blank.

silent_tofuYou could also go to WASD keycaps http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/products/keycap-set/87-key-cherry-mx-keycap-set.html Just don't forget to also get the keys for the small shift and the side button of it.

massiverEliN's response is correct.
That is what I meant by "put together". I also prefer printed caps, so I'm ordering this with no keycaps and will order a keyset from signature plastics(the same manufacturer of the keyset in this drop). I would also suggest the standard layout.

EliNAlso the \| key is 1u, so that will be labelled incorrectly, Depending on your layout, caps lock and control will also be the wrong size

SYNTHESISEGood point. Looks like you can buy single, unlabeled key caps for a buck each here: http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/products/blank-keycap-singles.html

EliNJust be aware that wasd key caps are made of extremely thin ABS.

ideusGood to know. I'm actually planning on using the Datamancer key caps. Those are mostly smaller than usual, so I don't expect to run into any issues.

A little frustrated by the Keyboard Club

Not sure what other's experience has been... but the Keyboard Club has been a pretty frustrating experience for me. The discount is supposed to be $30-100 USD. I looked at my history today, and there have only been a handful of times - IN 3 YEARS! - where my discount was more than $30. The odds of a deeper discount at a time I'm actually ready to buy are worse than the Powerball. I wish that Drop would start advertising this for what it is: Pay for the Club and you'll get $30 discount per month. It feels like it would be more honest than what we're seeing right now. After 3 years I canceled. I just can't justify paying for discounts that are (almost) always at the lowest end of the promised range.

BIM blues and Amethyst

I'd make a set with these. The colours go great together.
