Hi guys,

I've found some PBT Laser Engraved keycaps, however I'm not sure whether they are Laser Engraved with infill or just engraved into the key. (link)
Also, they sell ABS Black-on-black keys too, (link)
However, the ABS black-on-black keys are more expensive than the PBT Black-on-blacks. Surely it should be the other way round? Can anyone confirm that its the way it is or are they ripping people off O_O

Thanks,

The engraved keys have no infill.

The ABS link shows what looks to be the PBT 108 set with windowed keys. Maybe they have them mislabeled or the pic is wrong.

Mighty fine key caps if I do say so myself. I'm thinking about getting a set for my WASD 'board.

Hm yeah, still a bit weird that they priced the ABS black-on-blacks to be even more expensive than these PBTs :/

I've been really impressed with the Ducky PBT caps. I'm thinking about hitting up PCHome for a set for other 'boards.

@ripster yeah exactly, only that the website (99hk.biz) prices the ABS Black-On-Black keycaps at 470HKD (60USD) and the PBT Black-On-Blacks at 399HKD (~51USD)

I think it's a mistake. I wouldn't worry about it.

If you really want the ABS caps, you can get them from here: http://global.pchome.com.tw/DSAA1E-A56759644. Right now, they're $28 shipped (to the US).

@Ripster :O My ducky 1087 has a black space bar switch and im pretty sure its intentional, its definitely not a problem :PP

What misalignment was squarebox talking about? The Esc key? My Topre has an off-center Esc key, too. Big whoop.

The random switch, on the other hand, that's just weird. I wonder when that started happening. My OCN and YOT Duckys don't have that.

Yeah, definitely a bit weird that the type of switch would change JUST for the spacebar. @itlnstln what sort of switches do your OCN/YOT ducky's have?

itlnstln · « **Reply #14 on:** Wed, 07 September 2011, 10:33:34 »

They both have browns.

Hmm, after reading the OCN thread apparently some guys have greens, greys or clears in their keyboards. Truly random.

For sure. I'm kinda hoping for WASD to come out with PBT caps. I would like more options in text size. I really like the small font they use on their caps.
