Title: Where can I get single pbt keycaps?
Post by: muad on Fri, 12 July 2013, 23:48:54

Hi, Im looking for a single orange keycap for the F row that will match the profile of imsto thick pbt keycaps. Anyone have any ideas?

But they only have it in OAZ orange

And yes these are thin pbt but will match the profile. Thick orange PBT doesn't exist. Also they're blanks.

imsto sells individual keycaps, but I'm not sure about 'orange'.

Thanks for the reply guys. I ordered one of the row 1 oaz orange. How close will it match with cherry profile?

i was highly motivated by this http://www.flickr.com/photos/o2dazone/6598050045/  (http://www.flickr.com/photos/o2dazone/6598050045/)

It'll be a pretty good match, SP DCS profile isn't to off from cherry (except the bottom row but since you're doing function row it shouldn't be a problem).

Also, great inspiration.

I might have some spares I could send for the price of shipping.
