Blackest of Black PBT
« on: Tue, 13 November 2018, 02:31:20 »
Geetings!

I was wondering if any of you have any leads as to where someone could get pitch black blank PBT keycaps (Cherry Profile).

I have a set of enjoyPBT that I bought off of KBDfans, and they are wonderful caps, but the darkest they come is a deep grey.

Cheers!

I'm not aware of any (readily available) PBT sets that are darker than that

ABS sets are much darker

There are also PPS caps

however these would be hard to find

I have some black DCS blanks that are significantly darker than ePBT, if that helps. Not sure about cherry profile. Leopold PBT caps are extremely similar to Cherry and I remember them being pretty black, but I don't have them on hand to compare.

P.S., the sound of those PPS caps are making my PP very not S.

PPS is definitely a darker color than the PBT, but ABS caps will be darker than either one.

With that in mind, does anyone have a link to good black blank Cherry style key caps? I did some searching around on Google and found a fair amount, but just wanted to know what everyone's favourite is.

Have you considered dyeing the dark grey caps to black? Dyeing to a specific shade of blue or something might be tough but I'd think just plain black should be a pretty easy process.
