Title: [WTB] Lime Green PBT Full TKL Set (New)
Post by: funxion on Thu, 02 May 2013, 20:28:46
As per the title, I am looking for a set of lime green PBT key caps for my white Filco TKL. I am aware this is probably a rare request, but if anyone happens to have a set and is looking to sell them, either post here or PM me.

Thanks!

Edit: Apparently they do not come in thick PBT, so I have adjusted my post accordingly.

This^ I believe there are lime green thin oem profile PBT sets on Taobao and I've seen them for sale here, but Thick PBT only comes in White, Blue, Gray, and Red (37 sets).

Updated OP. Any idea who would have them so I don't have to deal with an agent?

I don't remember, but I'm looking for the set on Taobao so you can at least see what they look like. Shouldn't take too long lol

Here they are on Taobao (I believe they're both engraved sets) and going through an agent like Bhiner is rather painless imo. Anyway, I'm pretty sure someone had the exact same set as these and I'll edit this post if I'm able to find it.

Edit - Looks like they were sold and FWIW, taobao searching > GeekHack searching without Google imo. Here's the link - http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=41853.0

The green looks nothing like that in real life, its kind of like that green yellow crayon from crayola that looks like it would be amazing but when you use it all your hopes are instantly crushed when you see that nasty looking yellow it produces.

The bane of my childhoold coloring books:

Here's a photo I took of my set before I sold it. Color balance corrected from RAW file, and next to some white caps for brightness comparison. This is the most color accurate photo you'll find of the mint green pbts  ;)

EDIT: oh I didn't realize Jocelyn already linked to my thread with this photo. I thought they were all to Taobao...haha
