Title: One Off Cost
Post by: mkeeley on Sat, 31 March 2012, 19:55:37

Hi, Just wondering about the cost for a full custom key set using dye sub from, say, Signature Plastics. I'm looking at a full mac set, not just the action keys. If it would be silly money I'll go with WASD custom keys but it sounds as though that dye sub would be better quality. Thanks!

Do SP even make Dye-Sub?

BTW, a whole set of dye-sub PBT cost around 86USD by IMSTO(KBC).

Their site says they do both dye sub and double shot but they don't give any indication of prices on the site. They're probably going to be for a UK filco 105 key.

SP's one-off cost is incredibly high (I think I remember $500+ for one keyboard) and their dyesub PBT costs are (I believe) even more than their Doubleshot costs.

OK thank you, I'll give that a miss then!
