Title: PBT Keycaps with ISO layout
Post by: HoBbe on Fri, 27 April 2012, 07:54:34

Hello!
I recently bought a Filco MJ2 and the keys i use for starcraft 2 the most are starting to wear out
(http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/5920/1215c67e5d600421800.jpg)
Note V and D (pic is around 10 days old so they look even worse now+z,c,r.)

So i'm looking for 105 ISO PBT keyset. Best would be blank black or white keyset, but it really doesn't matter.
I've been looking around quite a bit but haven't found any, help!

Nobody seems to have found any, but wasd has said they'll get PBT in june so maybe we'll be able to get an iso set from them.

There's been a lot of interest in ISO PBT recently.

If you're wearing out your keycaps that fast, you might want to get an ANSI PBT set, and live with the different keys for now. I am hoping WASDkeyboards will have ISO PBT in a few months, so then you can replace them properly.

Whats the best site to buy brand new pbt keycaps?

Y'know, I just relized: Cherry should have PBT ISO enter keys. I believe they have Lasered (and sometimes dyesub) PBT keys. You could grab a UK or German 'board and have a full keyset right there.
