shipping cost: 25$ to worldwide

payment:   paypal  imsto@163.com   plz leave the exact address I wil print it on the package. esp the phone numbertogether with the format like:
 name:
 country:
 states:
 city:
 address:
 phone:


Usually I will send the package once 3 weeks, if u want to get them asap, then u may pay the 5USD I will send the package directly to HK, it would be faster.   Anyway, if lucky, if u pay at the sending day u may get the package in 5 days.

BTW: if u have some interest with something from taobao I may buy it for u, and send it together with the keycaps for free.

The black engraved pbt is awesome, however to call the others BLACK on white and GOLD on black are just really unfortunate.
Any update on the dye subbed caps?

I think the spacebar won't fit.
Title: PBT 104 keycaps
Post by: jdreamer on Tue, 15 March 2011, 08:21:39
Will the coating/colour of the spacebar differs a lot? Otherwise, I can still stick to my current spacebar meanwhile changing the remaining keys.

Question about engraved keys: If I am eating greasy foods with my hands and/or just perspire oily sweat, will I later witness an annoying-to-clean accumulation of grime in the corners of the keycap engravings? I ask because I have noticed said grime on the seams of devices such as telephone handsets and console game controllers in this household.

Does there exist some sort of clear (plastic?) infill to inhibit this eventuality? Or maybe some sort of wax..

never mind, the worst situlation is to become a black on white.   I think u'd not have any idea of infill anything to the letters, the feel of the keycaps might be ****ed up, it's hard to infill was to the small engraved letters.

These threads are gonna make me broke in a real hurry, and potentially will cost more than the keyboards when this is all over. :o

black on white and white on black, payment coming in a minute.

Those engraved caps are gonna look pretty disgusting in a hurry if they're not cleaned often enough. Regarding filling them in, I suppose you can use epoxy, but you gotta take care when filling, curing, and finishing the surface after.. it's going to be a lot of work and I honestly don't think it's worth trying but that's just me.

insane shipping speed. imsto, i juz received my package in the mail. package was, i muz say, very well padded. box rolled up in a sheet of bubble wrap and then wrapped in a gunny sack. the keycaps look good. the mounting holes on the spacebar unfortunately wasnt the same width apart as the one on my DAS though.. e rest is all fine.. planning to use them only after i give this keyboard a complete wipedown. :)

Bummer.  I always the Das spacebar had the same mounts as the Filco/Rosewill/DuckyABS.  Added this pic to the Key Reference Wiki. (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Key+Reference+-+Pics+and+specifications+for+various+manufacturers+keys&redirect=no#Das+S+and+Later+Keyboards)


yeah kinda disappointed that i can't use the spacebar on my DAS. if im not able to find a PBT spacebar that fits my DAS i'll prob get a Filco juz to use those keycaps. :rolleyes:

anw imsto said he'll check out his DAS and see if the mounts are indeed different. my DAS Ultimate was bought through a group buy on a local forum around three years back.. so im wondering if thats e case for the different mount. but i doubt that DAS would even bother to change the mount position, there wouldnt be a point in doing that..

Yeah, Imsto I'd like my 10% back please for the brain cells I'll kill getting the goop off.

The keys aren't that much thicker than Filcos but are quite a bit stronger.

I'll measure with a micrometer and scale and post results in the Key Reference Wiki.
Is there any significant sound difference?  How would they compare to Cherry Co. doubleshots?  Thanks, Ripster!

I have a question.  On some of the key cap sets, why are the Num Lock, Backspace and Scroll Lock keys in a different font?  It's there on a couple of them, but it's easiest to see on the purple-on-black set.  Those 3 keys have a Futura-like font while the others are Helvetica.  The engraved sets and the gold-on-black don't seem to have that problem, though.

That said, these PBT caps are the truth.   If you're on the fence, let me just say that you are missing out by not getting a set.  They aren't Topre caps or Cherry double-shots, but they kick a lot more ass than Filco or SP.  I love them on my Ducky.

Let the haters hate.

One of the issues I had with my ducky 9008g2 initially was getting used to the PBT keys, but I was sold after my first day of typing.  They're light, solid, and FAST.


This.  They're a little weird because they sound like something thicker, sort of like Cherry lasered keys, but they are light and thin like Filcos.  It's a good combination, I think.  In any case, I think they are some of the best third-party caps on the market, especially if you go with the engraved.  The printed versions are OK, but I have some concerns on the longevity of the print.  Mine are OK after about a month or so, but it doesn't seem like the print would be too durable.

Oh, and my spacebar hasn't even started going shiny yet.

I may be wrong thinking earlier these were lasered - no Brad Pitts.  Looks to me like the letter is just part of the injection molds.  


I think your hypothesis is correct.  The caps are fairly thin.  If a laser gouged a legend into the plastic, you would think the plastic in the legend would be paper thin and have a high risk of failure due to cutting a hole into the cap; looking at rip's pic, the letter engraving is fairly deep.

No, it depends on laser power, focus, gases (which might produce different colors) and speed of movement.

Still I wonder whether the grey-on-white and gold-on-black are lasered or printed.

The gold-on-black is laser-burned with a pad-printed legend over it as far as I can tell using a magnifying glass...

and scratching the pad printing off of a spare ESC key I have.

It produces a bit of permanence, but it does not totally stop legend wear.

@Ripster, those "engraved" keys look great! I know I'm way too lazy to keep them cleaned properly over the long term though, so I'll opt for something without all the oil and dirt traps. :D

@imsto, If the white blanks are coming, will black blanks come too? It would be a great alternative to the engraved or "white/white" or "black/black" combinations. I would definitely spring for a set of white blank with black blanks if they're both available.

I have a Filco tenkeyless with browns and a Realforce 103UB.  I really like the feel of the PBT caps on the Realforce and I'm open to trying alternative keycaps on the Filco.  I also ordered Doubleshots (round three) but I guess it'll be June before I see those :(

So do these PBT sets fit Filcos perfectly?  On the Doubleshots III thread there's a post which compares the height/side profile of the key caps row-by-row to the stock Filco caps but I don't recall seeing a direct comparison in this thread.  Do these keys significantly change the angles/heights much?  Are they a good match for original Filco?  

I know these keys might go on anything with a Cherry switch, but are Filco/Ducky/Leo all building boards with the same inter-row elevation change and key shape?  I'd think that there would be some variance and changing caps to something with a different profile could change the feel of the board entirely.  No?

I've thought about buying a set but I'm not a big fan of the engraved and I'm assuming the others are not as good as cherry corp. double shots.

Thoughts? Anyone want to change my mind?

I haven't gotten around to comparing all of them but the home row looks Filco identical.

Filco is the lavendar one.  You can see the difference in texture.   I kinda like the Filco satin finish but Shiny Spacebar Haters don't.



Well that's good to know, I guess.  One thing I'm a little concerned about with the round 3 doubleshots is that the caps are shorter than stock.  In the photos of a Filco with the new caps fitted you can now see the bottom edge of the caps.  One thing I hate is when I can feel like fingers getting "caught under" neighbouring keys a little bit if I get sloppy.  Some laptops are really bad for this.  With this relatively tall Filco stock keys this can never happen.  I hope it doesn't start to become a problem with those doubleshots combined with the 4mm key travel.

For a right-out-of-the-box set that fits Filco, Ducky, and Leopold (sans the spacebar, apparently); you would be hard-pressed to find a better key set than these, especially NIB.  Cherry double-shots are better and are probably the best Cherry keys on the planet, but they are difficult (and expensive) to find a new set and you might have to work a little to complete a set that will work on non-Cherry-made 'boards.  I have had my Ducky for a little over a month, and I haven't seen anything that would indicate any type of key wear, even on the spacebar.

The gold printing seems a little dubious to me, but I haven't seen any wear as of yet on my set; however, I have only had mine for a month or so.  Personally, I would step up to the engraved set.  That said, the gold-on-black does look nice.

It's not really "gold," either.  It's more of a Khaki color.  Still, it looks very nice.

A guy posted in the other thread saying customs called him and gave him his DHL tracking # and it was completely differant then what Imsto gave so I am guessing that all of the provided numbers are wrong.

The 3 led lights on the top right are hideous, even on a realforce I think they are hideous but atleast topre earns it, they can put a picture of a pink elephant on the board and Id still love it as it just exudes quality.  Everytime I look at the leopolds I get sad about whatever happened with EK and Diatec, they were a perfect combo imo.

My tracking number is working now, but not from the dhl main page. Following the instructions given here (http://wholesale-district.com/hesk/knowledgebase.php?article=4) it works. My package just left Hong Kong and is now travelling back through time.

So go to this page (http://www.dhl.com/en/express/tracking/shippers_reference.html) and use the code Imsto posted for you. I had to change the ship from date to April 08th.

I wouldnt worry too much about looking at the destination, dhl has a wide service area from each location as they are not like Fed-ex and have locations in every city almost.  So when it comes from overseas it normally just has the nearest office as destination and ancona may be the closest to you.  How far away from Ancona are you?

I just got my keycaps in. While the keycaps came in fine the box got a little trashed along the way and for the $25 shipping I was expecting the double boxing. Also the STATED VALUE for the caps was incorrect thus causing customs to overcharge on the product!

Just got my black engraved.  They look awesome, and I'm really happy with the feel (although it's too bad I still have to use my old spacebar).  I have to say that I'm surprised by how much work it was to switch out all the keycaps; it took me hours.  I'll try to post some pictures later.

The thing that took me the longest was getting all the Goop off.

When is that getting fixed???


Yeah that took me a while as well, although using that lint roller stuff that somebody mentioned earlier in this thread worked really well.  I think it was just all the removing of keycaps, getting the keys out of the box (actually kinda a lot of work), putting the keys onto the lint paper stuff, etc. all just added up to make it take a lot of time.

I'm really feeling like I need to add some color to my desk somewhere now though.  I've got black monitors, a black mousepad that covers the entire desk, a black keyboard, and a black mouse.

Post by: Zenosincks on Thu, 14 April 2011, 20:32:10
For whatever it's worth, I used duct tape to remove the glue as I wasn't quite sure what to make of imsto's "gummed tape" recommendation. Duct tape worked pretty well and I imagine most tapes with a decent adhesive will do the job.

While easy to remove, it still took quite a while to clean all the keys and my fingers were a bit sore (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7Q2XGf4TCY) after, but that's a minor complaint. Anyhow, thanks for the keys imsto, they're a tad more pleasant to type on than the stock Filco keys.

I'm a bit intimidated by the group buys (mostly the round three thread); there seems to be a lot of crazy procedure involved in some and not so much in others.  

I just want a set of black engraved keys.  I've PM'd imsto in the past but he never replied.  So I guess I will ask the thread directly; so I paypal $41.40 +25 shipping to imsto's paypal address with the included details and wait?

He may be waiting for me to send his money back for them.  If I read his email correctly, I am to wait until I actually receive them.  It was a bit confusing, but we'll make sure you are reimbursed!

I really just want the white keycaps I ordered. I'm a little frustrated with Imsto. He sends me the wrong ones so knowing that you are waiting I immediately sent the keycaps to you.  And I'm still sitting here Impatiently waiting for mine and they still haven't even been sent.

Imsto - please tell me when you will send my keycaps. Last week you told me this week....

While playing around on my cheapo $15 test numpad you can see that the switch actually pulled out of the PCB, breaking a lead. I recommend:

    On a PCB mounted keyboard don't use the wire puller, too easy to pull the switch if you are not careful
    Shove a screwdriver as in the picture above into where the led goes for backlit keyboards and pin the switch down as you pull the key.
    Wiggle it like Beyonce dancing "Put A Ring On It"

Post by: JSchool on Fri, 06 May 2011, 00:13:10
My black engraved arrived today and look great!

As for the sticky stuff.  What I found worked really well was laying down long strips of postage tape on the back of the keycap box (not sticky side up -- just apply the tape down on the box!) and and then rubbing the bottom of the keys against it.  The friction removed it pretty quickly.

I added to the PBT vs ABS Key Review (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:16648) the little factoid that they are QUITE snug fitting so be careful pulling off or this MAY happen.

Notice the broken Cherry MX pin.

(http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/9247/img4918.jpg)
Any proper way on how to place it back in? I did it the harsh way and jammed it in which kinda made the switch carved its way through the black square. Fingers aren't too happy about it either =\

Really nice looking there tubby.

I now have both sets of PBT keys on my Filco and Leo; PITA to get the glue off.  I clumped the glue up into a big ball and used that to unstick the bottoms, one key at a time.  Not too hard or messy, just a little time consuming.

Sadly the Leo's space bar must remain stock.

Knock on wood I don't see any issues with the way the keycaps attach and remove to the cherry stems on these boards.

I had the best results removing the glue with a lint / cat hair roller.  Still a PITA, but no solvent smells.  (Although maybe sniffing fumes kills enough brain cells to make the job seem less boring?)

I didn't get the 104 PBT set; wanted a blank white set but wasn't available yet.
My friend who joined my order, however did. And lucky enough he got a glue-less set :)
Did your 104 set come in 3 separate small boxes, or was it neatly arranged like the pic on the first post? Glued version, I would presume would be the latter?

Was that your first time typing on a keyboard with blank caps? Nah jk ;p
So it would seem glued version would be the keyboard-length box, while the glue-less ones are split into three small boxes.
The keyboard-length one seems pretty nice to have for placing the unused caps.

I got my black engraved the other day, that adhesive was annoying, thankfully I wasn't using the letter keys. The original leopold space bar matches the black of the new buttons, which is good since you can't switch out that due to the different supports. I'll post a pic later.

When someone gets a Gen 2 Filco with switches OTHER than red please confirm whether it's silver or gray.
Someone at vr-zone posted a pic (http://forums.vr-zone.com/hardware-depot/890488-vr-forums-mechanical-keyboard-club-guide-discussion-thread-208.html) of his brown & blue switch Majestouch 2... and its gray.
My tenkeyless red switch doesn't seem to look as dark though. I would still call it silver... darkish silver?
(http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/3595/img5114l.jpg)
pictures around the web makes it appear like gun metal black, some even look jet-black.

Another trivial difference: the Majestouch2 is horizontally brushed while the brushing on non NKRO seems arced.

Aw - put those white keys on your Filco with the reds. I keep that keyboard at work and no matter how crazy the day gets any keyboarding is just awesome.  My co-workers got a kick out of my pimped out keyboard especially after all the keyboards I've been trying out.  For the past two months each week I would come in with a new keyboard and they would shake their heads. I'm sure they think I'm a little nutty.

I posted a photo with the dark gray on white keycaps on the black bodied Filco - on page 30

Anybody know if these will work for a Das Keyboard III? Specifically the spacebar. I believe that the DK uses the wire-based stabilizers, whereas the pics show these keycaps using Cherry style stabilizers.

Is the black on white = dark grey on white?


I see no pictures of black on white, yet pricing for black on white. And no pricing for dark grey on white, yet pictures for dark grey on white. WHAT GIVES

Yes the photo on page 30 shows the gray on white keycaps on my Filco but they are one in the same and called black on white.  And the white is true white not ivory or beige.  I like them so much I ordered another set for another Filco.

Oh also, my 7/Home key on the tenkey has a kind of neat defect:

(http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5102/5766659936_2e3a8477bc_z.jpg)

It actually wraps all the way around and looks like a graphic designer got to it. I kind of like the look but it isn't very functional and doesn't match the other keys. Luckily I have one left over from the tenkeyless that I left at work. Hopefully it doesn't also have the defect.

Strangely I also got an extra Y key. :)

First set was for my 103 Filco with reds and this set is for my tenkeyless version. Love the reds and these white keycaps on the black Filcos.

I'm actually posting this at school and I've been coming home late lately so I haven't gotten around to following up with the pictures.

I'm not sure if the profile of the keys are different too but I was talking about the surface of the keycaps. The Filco keycaps have a larger surface area than the Leopolds

Post by: ladiesman2927 on Wed, 01 June 2011, 17:20:06
Are the colored keys from EK the same size as the stock Filco keycaps? If so I can definitely confirm that the Filco keys are bigger than the Leopolds. I use the EK WASD keys on my Leopold and they are bigger than the rest of the surrounding keys.

Look back a few pages - on 30 and then again on one of the later pages shows the white keys on black Filcos.  I have them on my black Filco full sized keyboard and liked them so much that I ordered a set for my tenkeyless version as well.  I should have them next week.  Really like the white keys and they are white, white and not vanilla or beige.

I'm waiting on my 2nd set which is in the mail. Here's my experience. Took around 2 weeks for Imsto to ship and then took a full week to receive them in the NH.  And if you cannot be home to personally receive and sign for them, you need to leave a signed authorization.  So you do need to have some patience.

Thanks.  I'm debating just sending this das back and getting the ultimate version so I can avoid the keycap fading... but I still want to buy a set of 104's just so I can use them for the numbers and other keys that I don't commonly use so that I won't be confused while typing.

The last box:

I know.. right.  Maybe DHL decided to use my package for their soccer practice or something. lol  Anyway, key caps themselves seem ok.  I'd just put them on.

Make it as in the cross part that attaches to the switch? How would you do that, I was planning on trying to move one from an old key.

@Imsto - If these are indeed hot pink color, would it be possible to pick up a set of these during your next trip and combine shipping with a set of black engraved PBT 104's?

When you say it's dyed, does that mean it's of lesser quality than the black engraved or white engraved?  Or are they solid pink PBT as well?

I would kill to get a set of these so as soon as I get some cash, I will PM you!

I see.  That's unfortunate.  I wonder if the dye would eventually wear off or begin to age and show the underlying white key.

Regardless, I'll probably be in for a set cuz they're just so darn perdy.

Not really sure if I want to replace the keys on my Ninja yet though.  I really love the feel of the blank keys and having the legends right on the face of the key is quite nice.

I'm after white key caps. According to your OP you still have grey on white available (http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=16123&stc=1&d=1300191692 pictured there), is that right?

If you have those available how do I go about ordering some from you (I'm in the UK)?

They do look a lot better in person than they do on pictures, in my opinion:

And for the person who was wondering if they were engraved or embossed, I hope this solves your question (engraved):

Thanks Imsto!  I got them this afternoon and stuck 'em on my Ninja.

I admit I just wanted the cheering up.

The stabilizers came off easier than I expected.  I used a jeweler's screwdriver to get under the keycap and pull the right side up a little before sliding them off.  Not as bad as I was expecting.

A little bit of the grease rubbed onto the spacebar.

I'll get the rest in a bit.  The keys definitely feel different.  Coming from the smooth Ninja keycaps, the PBT is a little ticklish.

And here we are all done.  A fun and worthwhile upgrade!

This. ISO enter, one extra key and left shift, so easy to make and you get around 700 million new and potential customers. Not to mention over half the top 30 countries in GDP PPP are among those customers:)

yea.. I would be one of them. But I doubt that he can get those.

The big problem is the ISO Enter. The smaller Shift can be replaced by Alt or Ctrl and the other two extra keys (it's actually two extra keys, from rows 3 and 4) are just regular 1x1 keys.

Any chance that I can get a hold of those boxes? I don't like the idea of my keys jangling around in a zip-lock bag


those plant boxes are the keycaps with glue on it...
