PBT Keycap Belmishes

Hey guys, just got some new white PBT keycaps. They look great, but the D key has some dis-colored blemishes in the plastic. All of the other keys are flawless. I'm curious, has anyone seen this before?

Thanks ripster, those do look great. I'll give it a shot. It almost looks like it is part of the plastic though.

Does anybody know what form factor those PBT keys from E-Sports Entertainment are? Like... whether they are Filco/DAS/Leopold ones, or Cherry, or Model M, etc. The reason I'm asking is because I want to replace the F and J from one of those engraved sets with red keys and I can only do that if I know what the form factor of the keys are so that I can get an exact match. Would KBC PBT's work as replacement? Doubleshots?

They're Cherry MX caps. Any Cherry MX compatible keycaps can replace the F and J keys. Filco, Leopold, and Das all use Cherry MX caps. They're called that because they fit on Cherry MX switches.

Risen from the dead for a model F.

Wyse buy colors were GSY for the dark grey, GBA for the light grey, and BBI for the fonts.

Mine had a few blemishes but I used a magic scrub pad that Awry gave me and some Simple Green to scrub it out.

Looks great now!
