Toxic was a large, but ultimately limited, run.

TechKeys had some, but the base set is sold out: http://techkeys.us/collections/keycap-sets/products/toxic-set

You might try contacting BunnyLake to see if he has any spare sets.

It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Unfortunately the toxic keycap set was never officially done in pbt. There is the Toxic SP (Made by Signature Plastics which is no longer available except secondhand) set that is still traded and sold fairly often here in GeekHacks classifieds as well as on mechmarket. It's really a beautiful set and even though I'm not a huge SP DCS fan (DCS Is the profile they keyset was made in) the SP toxic set is sexy enough to overcome most of my issues with the profile. Be prepared to shell out between $70 - $100 roughly depending on options or extras that are included.

Now if you don't feel like waiting to find one secondhand Tai Hai has a Black and yellow PBT set that is toxic esque  available in multiple places for roughly $50. I hope this helps and unfortunately I'm on my phone or I would try and find some links for you.

Anyways hope to see you around and welcome

Thanks so much for the reply. I did find a set on mechmarket but in my very limited time here on geekhack I've already found a  I like as much or maybe even more. I'm hoping the GB runs  :) https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=75607.0;topicseen

Ok, given that they are not PBT, have you tried posting in the group buy thread?

Some people have indicated that they don't want their sets any more.

I'm a bit confused. Are the keycaps in this GB PBT or ABS?

Thanks for the link

The original Toxic GB was thin ABS by SP/PMK.  It was a custom colour.

I was looking at that thread. Is 80 bucks normal price for a 60%?

Just the numpad set is $25 from TechKeys, so $80 for a 60% set might be about right (assuming you mean enough keys to populate a 60% keyboard).

Keep in mind that the Toxic group buy is not actually finished.  There are still ~50 orders that have not been shipped due to missing keys (including mine).

Anyone looking for a set should monitor the group buy thread, as people still waiting for their sets will sometimes drop out and offer their order for sale there.

Great advice! I also didn't know that geekkeys had some of the extra sets. I need a tsangan kit since I traded for my set and its coming in the mail today. Gonna check the keys and see what I may need replacements for.
