I've seen a set of light green KBC PBT caps on taobao before but I've never seen another set. I bought the light blue version :)

For reference, here's a picture of what color I'm looking for. I know these are Topre key caps, but someone has GOT to have them for Cherry's...

i was under the impression WASD's green abs caps are more kelly than lime. I was going to buy a set to put on my blue filco a while ago, but decided against it because i didn't like the (perceived?) shade.

I know it's your pic :) I'll add a photo credit, sorry!

And I looked, it's not the exact green I'm looking for. Someone had a white HHKB with lime green key caps on it - those are the ones I'm looking for.

WASD current green is indeed more kelly than lime. Try qtan, they are offering a dyeing service and might be able to match that shade. I wish there were some more 'neon' shades readily available in MX too, seems all the good colors are Topre only.

Me, too! I want some vibrant stuff and not so much of this dullness.

I want an extremely vibrant lime green. Pretty much neon/highlighter/whatever-you-want-to-call-it.

I need something that pops out, but not too yellow! Need to flow with a white case. Really wish someone would start a GB for neon-colored sets.

Edit: The picture I posted of reaper's Topre keys are perfect, but it could be slightly more vibrant.

Don't really feel like putting out $40-$50 to mess up :/

yeah, from spending a fair bit of time creeping these boards all attempts at dying caps have mostly turned out pretty poorly... and my own experiance with dying plastics with rit dye has left me with pretty poor results

Might I suggest purchasing a blank white PBT set from Feng, and using some rit dye to get the color you want. It's pretty easy. You can test it out on some cheap abs caps first.

Don't really have the time or money to waste on "testing" dyes and such.

I may just have to buy a set from qtan and use his dyeing service at some point!
