That's looking pretty good.  I'm interested in what black/dark grey on white will look like.

Did you mean KBC?
I hope it is not gonna cost a hundred bucks. That is just insane rip-off.

OK I'm an idiot (you heard it here first) - why would these be desirable?

It's 'cause PBT > ABS. Thanks \KL!
and dyesub's are awesome.

Basically win-win all 'round. They look a little like the topre keycaps? Can they do that with dyesub, not laser?

Either way, I'm interested in Dyesub PBT.

These going to be available in ISO layout? I feel as though that is a question that does not need answering but I wish I could get some PBT caps for my UK Filco.

Your skills in deduction seem to be quite lacking for a self-proclaimed "expert".

Tax deduction skills beat any formal other.

0.8mm is thin, even the new SP PBT keys look thicker than KBC I. Topre keys are what I would call medium thickness keys.

Same here, as that's the only downfall of Dyesub PBT: since you're adding dye to the pores, you "usually" can't take a darker colour keycap, and put a lighter legend on it. If there's some way around this, then all my problems are solved!

Well "soon" obviously means more than 30 days.

Oh yahoo that's right. Duh. Bummer.

These look very nice but I with the caps were lighter to give better contrast like the HHKB.

So I guess these are not going to happen. Quite a shame really, I wanted a nice set of dye-subs.

It'll happen, just not "soon" like the thread says :p
