If you don't mind paying $120 USD for a set of keys, then you can order confidently from imsto. Check the opening post for reference and pictures. Those key have the exact same shape and thickness as your Filco keys.

I didn't want to spend that much but they do look cool. My first time replacing keycaps maybe I'll just go with cheaper ones from WASD. The white with red font would look amazing though.

Oh those are nice. Guess I should just be patient a little longer.

Also a group buy floating around here somewhere with Signature Doubleshots if you can stand those. Actually the KBDmania/OTD/Deskthority guys do better with their Signature Plastic group key buy quality. I think it's because they know what they are doing.

Ripster why are you posting "What if a high school female baseball team manager reads Drucker's 'Management'" everywhere?

I want to order a set but after these last couple pages of things I don't understand I'm not so sure anymore.

I'd say you shouldn't let thickness be an issue for you. Sure, you can get thicker ones, but it'snot really necessary. I have WYSE thick doubleshots, and WYSE thin ones. While I sort of prefer the thick ones, there really isn't a difference typing on them. From a physcs perspective, you might end up with different resonances when you bottom out the key, but this shouldn't be as issue for anyone.

Me, I want a White/green sphercial PBT set in Dvorak, and when the closest I can get to that happens, (likely all but spherical) I'll wait until there are some options (or at least reviews) and then go for it.

I'd wait until Imsto confirms it one way or the other.

Or better yet always include a picture of the bottom of a key when selling them.

Like these Vortex dyesub keys that iMav announced - I am ASSUMING they are thin but ARE THEY?

And the big question of course is whether the new thick Leopold keys will be dyesub or lasered. Any insights there Imsto?

the Keys are as thick as the red keycaps with KBC logo. I have not idea about Leopold new keys....

Reading Peter Drucker could solve all Group Key Buy problems.

I could probably apply it to finding a girlfriend too. I must get this book...

Thanks for confirming.

I've been seeing a LOT of these PBT keys lately - same molds except sometimes the mark isn't there.

Any idea why?

http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?25167-No-Shift-Sherlock-New-Leopolds-Thick-PBT-Keys-Sherlock-Observations&p=478015&viewfull=1#post478015

they all came from the orginal KBC mold. there rabbit,the Chinese flag are dyed and engraved keycaps of KBC white and yellow keycaps.
the Mr Mao is laserd to blue KBC R4 keycaps.
so the white engraved, blue Mr Mao, rabbit, the red flag they all the same.

Damn Dork, vader. You can't even plagarize my predictions correctly.

Quote from: ripster;475429

So anyway. It's time to timestamp this prediction before everybody starts saying "Oh, I KNEW that already". Verrrrrry annoying thing you see when you make predictions on the internet.

"2012 Will Be The Year Of Thick PBT Keys".

I don't care what those Sherlock wannabees are saying in my Sherlock thread.

"Post hoc ergo propter hoc" fallacy. I'll start taking you seriously when you quit committing crimes against logic. In all seriousness, though I didn't read your prediction beforehand. It's not unheard of for two different people, presented with the same data, to make the same predictions based on it. It's all very logical, infact.

Ripster: people who agree with you aren't, necessarily, plagiarizing your ideas.

I'm done derailing this topic. If ripster has any response to me, I recommend he PM me, and open a topic in his subforum about it where we can discuss it there.

man, that looks awesome. sometimes the simple subtle approach works best. very nice. makes me want to buy one of those compact keyboards, even though it would be totally impractical for my needs.
