Title: Cheapest blank PBT keycaps?
Post by: Sniping on Fri, 08 February 2013, 00:50:06: I'm planning to get a Ducky G2 Pro (It's TKL) with Blues and Greens I want keycaps with a checkered pattern. I'm looking for blank PBT keycaps specifically, does anyone know where I can find these? I'd like to go with a more inexpensive option if possible.

Post by: Jocelyn on Tue, 26 February 2013, 18:35:03: I really didn't want to start a new thread, so does anyone know what kind of caps these are (37+Esc) - http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.0.223.FIQId3&id=17720311404

Based on the description and photos, especially the third one down, I'm inclined to think they're thick oem profile PBT, but I really can't tell for sure. I've been seeing these at quite a few vendors on Taobao lately.

Yeah, check out Ducky's Facebook page, they had a pole on which color keycaps everyone wanted.

By the way, I ended up getting my keycaps from Takaki, thanks for everyone's suggestions!
