Title: Custom Dye Sub Keysets
Post by: Exemplar on Sun, 01 March 2020, 03:43:04

Does anyone have a contact with ePBT or Hammer? I would like to try a one-off dye sub keyset.

Hmm. Strange. I will attempt to get in contact with Wei tomorrow, maybe see if they are willing to put me in contact with EnjoyPBT.

Will you work on blank caps that your customer provides? I want this service as I have PBT blank alps mount keycaps.

Unfortunately that would be very complicated to integrate in our process for a one off order. There is also always the risk of damaging your precious keycaps and being unable to replace them...

I'd accept the risk as I have spares, that's my only interest really. MX caps are easy to come buy, I just want some nice dye sub XDA alps.

Oh right the ones that can be bought on AliExpress? Yes we will stock these and offer them at some point.

I was referring to vintage keycaps, not those that are still being mass produced.

Oh sweet, if you can do that then that's fantastic. And yeah, I ordered mine from KPrepublic.

Old alps sets all have weird layouts, especially ISO ones, I just want classic UK mac layout oblique font ISO with thick PBT.
