Title: EnjoyPBT Blanks - Are they the same colors as some of the dye-sub sets?
Post by: resuhito20 on Sun, 28 June 2020, 23:16:48

I'm specifically trying to compare the blank white and beige (color #2 on KBD) and the EnjoyPBT Sushi Japanese keycaps - their pictures on KBDFans look similar, and I read somewhere that the blanks might come from the colorways they use for the main sets, but I just wanted to see if anyone had any concrete evidence or info. I'm new to this, so I hope this isn't an obvious thing, haha.

Here are product links and photos:

I have heard the same thing, and those pictures look like really solid evidence of that. Especially since you can be 99% sure KBDFans takes all those pictures with the same camera, lights, etc., the similarity between those caps is pretty undeniable. I bought the "Black" color3 blanks, and like most people say, they are definitely not black, but a very dark charcoal grey, so I am suspicious they are the same caps used for their black on black set here:

Thanks - it makes sense from a business POV too, for cost savings. I bought Sushi this time around; if I ever buy blanks in the same color I will update this.
