Title: Red PBT Esc Key - Dyesub or Double Shot
Post by: S.J. on Fri, 14 April 2017, 11:55:13: Hey guys,

I'm currently looking for a red PBT Escape key in either double shot or with dye-sub lettering... Oh and its for a Cherry MX stem!

I live in the Uk and i'm really struggling to find one! I don't mind shipping from abroad, so any suggestions would be welcome! :-*

I know that WASD Keyboards sell them but they're currently out of stock!

I know they aren't great quality as PBT goes... but hey ho!

And also, i'm looking for black legends :(

Post by: Entropia on Mon, 17 April 2017, 05:23:42: I've recently ordered an original Leopold red ESC key with front printed legend. They're also available with top print, but I don't know if it's dye sub (it doesn't matter with front legends). The keycap is 1,5 mm thick PBT.

https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=2176 (https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=2176). They are out of stock at the moment but they typically refresh soon. I own two top print and they are black lettering and really nice quality.
