Trying To Find Simple Keycaps
« on: Fri, 01 December 2017, 13:38:09 »
So I was wondering if anyone could help me find a simple keycap set... I just need White ABS keycaps, without the overly aggressive "gamer" font that supports backlit boards. I generally enjoy a more smooth texture to my keycaps, so high quality ABS is my best bet. Something similar to this:



I tried finding that exact set but to my knowledge, it's discontinued  :(

Ice caps are such a nice set; high quality ABS, smooth and just tastefully done. Check them out -

Thanks for the replies, I might try out the Vortex PBT set.

That being said, what's the difference in texture compared to standard/mainstream ABS keycaps?? I know PBT is generally mean't to be grainier, but as someone who's only ever used ABS and likes the smoother (almost rubberized feel) will this be a noticeable change?

Vortex caps are quite smooth actually. Smoother than Cherry and definitely not as rough as DSA, for example.

Unfortunately this is out of stock:  https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1579

If you can find this elsewhere it would be more ideal.

As you've mentioned ABS and PBT will have a different texture and different feel to them, the above link I linked is double shot ABS.
