Title: eBay set of 104 blank, bright green key caps.
Post by: digitalleftovers on Sun, 24 July 2011, 16:49:33

First time that I have seen a FULL set of caps in this color.  They are blank and made of ABS.

EDIT: Seller has many colors, and the buy-it-now price is less that 40 bucks.  Not bad.  I do see that they have domed windows keys, though.

Ah, I figured someone would have seen it.  No mention of specific colors though.  I will leave this in case the green part catches anyone.  But I will also say that if qtan was able to get white for much cheaper, he (or Imsto) can probably locate the other colors as well.

Yeah, I posted the other post. They're ABS though.

out of curiosity, is there a cheaper source for a set of 104 abs blank keycaps ?

Those keycaps would look really nice on a black base.

I think the final price on the Round 3 Group buy sets was 28, and there weren't that many full sets ordered.  They were 36 before the mark down, so I would expect similar for Round 4.  The white ABS blanks from Imsto's group buy (these were KBC key caps) were $23.  See this thread : http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?14085-Do-u-guys-want-KBC-colored-keycaps (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?14085-Do-u-guys-want-KBC-colored-keycaps)

That thread is over, but you could PM Imsto and ask if they are still available.

EDIT: Some of the bright colored 104 key sets are just the white sets that someone has dyed (not actually colored plastic), so I would check with whoever you buy them from.
