Are you talking about my dyesub group buy? The legends didn't suck.

SP doesn't do PBT spacebars... but yeah, KL's was a 87 key set in blue and I haven't seen any other GB set in SP PBT.

That's because KL is UNIQUE.

Well, it's also because China is making them better and cheaper now :D

SP can do 86/87ths (or 103/104ths) of a full set in PBT.

Watch for the Elvish GB.  Just sayin'.   :cool:

I used mine daily for many months, the only legend that sucked was that quote key. The only reason I'm not using it now is: Dvorak.

SP PBT is actually really nice. I'll look forward to the elvish set for sure.

they don't have molds for PBT DCS spacebars, so they can't do "full" PBT sets, but otherwise, yes, they have this capability, and have done blank sets before, as well as KL's blue dyesub set.

Here is KBC's version for sale on ebay. I am impressed with the thickness...the legends are alright.
