Title: imsto thick PBT blanks
Post by: GeorgeStorm on Sun, 03 June 2012, 11:09:05: As above, am wanting some nice keycaps for a Poker, and quite like the look of the imsto blank 2 tone grey keycaps.

Anyone got a set/tell me where I can get a set from?

I'm in the UK
Thanks
George

Are they thick like imstos?
And do you mean plain white or the two tone as per the OP?
They will be standard KBC thick. Plain white not two tone though.

Really wanting that two tone set from imsto, someone must have too many keycap sets and be willing to help a fellow geekhacker :D

Post by: hamza_tm on Fri, 15 June 2012, 04:16:06: No they are in stock I just checked. And they are thick too:

"Applies to a total of 105 keycap filco das ducky, poker cherry keyboard thicker PBT material

Even if the Cap Dayou dye-sublimation technology to penetrate into the PBT material keycap but the pattern remains ever"

Edit: Oh you PMed him? Bah sneaky Taobao seller keeps up items that don't exist

Haven't talked about price/shipping etc.. and I'm not sure if i'd go for the normal print or the ninja type..

Post by: GeorgeStorm on Sat, 16 June 2012, 04:50:24: Are they same things?
Title: imsto thick PBT blanks
Post by: qtan5370 on Sat, 16 June 2012, 07:03:24: You will very easy find something in Tao Bao but you have to ask if there is in stock.

However, this item is not in stock for long time and won't be restock for a long time too.

Because MMQ is 1000 to make those so far as I known. And only one factory in China can make it.....

I don't really understand that why the thick matter.....
Title: imsto thick PBT blanks
Post by: GeorgeStorm on Sat, 16 June 2012, 07:15:51: Everyone who's had them seems to make them out to be better than thinner caps.
Although at this rate, I'm tempted to just go for the same colour scheme but with normal thickness caps.
Are there any of those on taobao?

Post by: hamza_tm on Sat, 16 June 2012, 08:19:08: Not found any good talk about typing feel of the thick ones at all tbh. People just saying it looks nice

No they are a differnet set.. But still meant to be thick.

Qtan, regarding the extra thickness, having used, thin abs, thin double shot abs, thin PBT and realforce pbt keycaps.. the real force are the winners. Texture, sound, feel, resonance, quality.

That's partly because the switch is so nice ;)

Post by: wisie on Sun, 22 July 2012, 05:26:07: Any word whether imsto will be getting more of these in stock? Although the blue & grey combo works quite well as MagicMeatball posted. Wouldn't mind this combo but in orange or red. Mmmm.

PM me if you're interested. I'm willing to trade it for a dark gray PBT set (similar to pic above) or the plastic filco casing.

If there's any way to get the thick keycaps like imsto had recently in blue/gray, but in blank black instead, I'd love to get in on this. I just want some thick black blank PBT caps ;0
