Title: Asian OEM profile PBT keycaps with similar feel to Realforce keycaps?
Post by: Veridis on Mon, 03 November 2014, 00:34:26
Hello everyone, I'm really liking the pbt keycaps on the Realforce 87u. Are there any MX keycaps in CM/Filco/Ducky/etc OEM profile pbt keycaps that are similar to the topre ones?

The black ones are PLUM, the others are KBC I think.

BSP is probably the highest quality you can find but it is very expensive. I can recommend Leopold PBT caps as they're pretty cheap for the quality.

I've bought a set of the cherry profile like Leopolds, but they clack a lot on stabilized keys due to low clearance on the Novatouch , so I am staying away from low profile keys as of now :(
