Blank white keycaps for Poker II
« on: Mon, 15 July 2013, 14:05:22 »
I need some help... I'm looking for the cheapest way to get a set of blank white keycaps for my Poker II (I will be dyeing some of them). I'd prefer PBT obviously, but ABS might be fine for the right price...not sure how it accepts dyes. The cheapest/best deal I can find so far is Signature Plastics for $37 + shipping (87 keys, intended for TKL).

Is there a better deal out there than that? Thanks!

As long as you are fine with the DSA profile, those keycaps would be your best deal.

OEM profile? OEM is 'original equipment manufacturer'...didn't realize that was a standard profile.

It's not, each OEM has it's own profile.

"OEM profile" refers to the taller than cherry profile caps like from stock Filco, WASD, a lot of Chinese caps, etc. Unless we've stopped using that term.

We voted to stop using it. Also, get off the island.

DSA is probably cheapest. Since you want to dye you need to stay away from ABS, is too hard to dye without melting it. Next cheapest is probably blank set of imsto Cherry profiles if you want something more normal sculpted style.
