Are these the same material as those?
« on: Sat, 16 November 2013, 16:28:54 »
I really want to add some color to my incoming keyboard and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me whether or not http://www.vendio.com/stores/E-sports-Gaming-equipments/item/pbt-key-caps/37-pbt-color-side-printed-key-/lid=37058179 will be the same cherry profile / material as http://www.ebay.com/itm/KBC-Blue-Blank-Thick-PBT-104-Keyset-Cherry-MX-Keycaps-/330950281295?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d0e2c884f (which i've already ordered). I don't want to get it if the profile is different or if if feels different to the touch, as I really need consistency between my keys (especially letters and numbers (gaming))

Thanks! ^.^

I don't think the multi-color sets are KBC.  As far as I know, KBC's thick PBT are in blue, cream, beige/gray, and dark gray colors (and soon black).  I'd ask qtan for details.  Material-wise, both would be thick PBT.  But profile would be different.  1.5cm height is taller than Cherry profile, which is what the blue caps are.  These colorful ones look more like OEM profile to me.

They're both PBT. Ask the seller what profile they are.
