Are these the recommended pbt caps? I know thats not IMSTO but I haven't had much luck with the whole buying from Taobao so far.
I'm not sure if I can get my boss to go for another ~$100 for key caps.....probably pushing it with the initial ~$150 for the keyboard but it doesn't hurt to ask.

I'm guessing those are not the thick caps just regular? I find them kind of cool and interesting.
That looks really nice... except for the fact that your sticker is peeling up.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/Y5XRiIG.jpg)
I have this set. I prefer the blue personally, but I always like the grey and blue together. Grey alphas with blue mods is always cool
Ok enough talking more doing...Awesome! I'm sure you'll love it. What are your plans for the keycaps (if your boss will let you get them)?
I just purchased ;D

If you felt blues were too clicky and browns too light, and you want PBT keycaps... Have you considered just getting a Realforce 55g board instead? From your description, it sounds like you might benefit from trying Topre.
The quality really isn't that bad VesperSAINT. It's more that they're weird due to being upside down :)

Don't know if this will help but in case you never saw the thread :)
I'm all for the Ducky Clears, I'm using one now as I type this and it's a beautiful keyboard (even though I don't really care for backlit either) but a set of standard OEM thin PBT's will make a world difference in how it sounds and feels. I have 2 ****ty quality youtube videos on page 2 there if you want the smallest idea of how it'll sound.
Yes your thread is one of the reasons I made this purchase and actually I've been using the board all day and as far as clears go I think I'm liking them still deciding but my OCD is kicking in with a few issues with the keys etc....

The keys in my video or on your keyboard? If you're talking about my keyboard, I ended up changing it so it's more symmetrical :PShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/dSFcuQm.jpg)
Mine, yours looks ok! :cool:

The holes at the top of the keycap is going to be an issue with pretty much every backlit keycap, I believe, because that's where they disconnect/cut the keycap off from the mold. The lettering, I'm not too sure what you mean but from what I can see on mine too, there are slight blemishes from imperfect painting of the black on the semi-translucent white plastic but nothing I'd call a dealbreaker :)
Man.. my white PBT spacebar hurts my feelings everytime I look at it... It came like that too :\ That's what I get for buying used keycaps.
Symmetry!!!
So its normal that is really what I was after. Its not the end of the world I was just making sure mine wasn't the one dud around or something. ;D
VesperSAINT,
you bought your keycaps used? Dang, I was about to ask where you got yours from. If I keep this board I will def want some new keycaps. Are these Ducky keyboards "standard"? Will they take any generic Cherry MX PBT keycaps? Please excuse my stupidity in the area of keycaps as I am slowly coming up to speed.

Will they take any generic Cherry MX PBT keycaps?Any Cherry MX board will take any Cherry MX keycaps. It doesn't matter whether they're POM, ABS, PBT etc or whether they're thick or thin. Any Cherry MX keycaps will work.
