feng, there were just 6 people that asked for blank blacks. Is it possible you ask KBC to not engrave some of the black sets and sell them as blanks? Some places have blank whites, but none has blank blacks.



Currently there's no such thing, but check out imsto's thick dyesub PBT group buy, that's the thickest ones you can get right now. I asked if there's an option for black keys, but he said no. You could try to dye them yourself for thick black PTBs.

I'm sure they will have blank black for sale in the future. KBC just made blank white no so long ago, so I think blank black should be the next step.

Hey Feng, How much roughly do you think they will sell for?

feng, if you could confirm compatibility of the 7g keycaps with the 6gv2 that would be great. The bigass enter key and small shift are the main issues... but I'm definitely interested in the black engraved for 6gv2.


I finally got understood about this question. :S   Actually each either 7G or 6GV2 kit comes with 107 keys. There are 3 extra keys: right shift, backspace, and |\ key. So those key sets would fit on both 7G and 6GV2. Thanks for bringing this question manirra!

Basically the white was suppose to turn gray and black, but it turned ugly brown instead. There were also some blotch marks for uneven colors. I will link it once I upload the pics and have a short description about it too.

Lots of other people have had really good success with RIT dye.  You should probably practice before you try it on your new, expensive set though.

Post a WTB.  Someone surely has spares.  Lasered Cherry keycaps are PBT after all.

feng did say that they contained 3 extra keys (so 107), and those would be the backspace, big enter, and small right shift in addition to the standard 104.

(so yes, they should fit WASD and filco to the best of my knowledge) :)

Is there any chance that blank black keys would be available?

I'd be interested in 87-key sets of blank black and blank white.  I could buy 104-key sets if needed.

Thanks!

I don't think KBC has made a black blank set yet. Only engraved.

Cool.  Thanks for the info.  I have to wait on the white keys until I get my new keyboard anyway.  So, at that point, I'll look into getting a couple sets of PBT caps together.  I'm also not 100% decided on whether I'll want white engraved keys or blank, actually, now that I think about it.  So, I'll decide that. :)

I think those are from Ducky, not KBC. Gotta ask the head of KBC.

As far as I know, KBC does make blank 37-set in black color, but doesn't make 104-set. I'm still waiting for response.

Thats pretty much the price for a set of PBT's. Maybe get lucky and score them for $50. Obviously the shipping from over there adds more.
