Title: Cherry Profile Thick PBT on Ducky Board
Post by: tbc on Sat, 27 July 2013, 02:38:12
http://www.ebay.com/itm/KBC-Grey-Blank-Thick-PBT-104-Keyset-Cherry-MX-Keycaps-/330950287238?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d0e2c9f86

will these fit on a duck 9087 shine 2?

I'm new to all of this and I'm not sure if there are 'cherry stabilizer' and 'costar stabilizer'-only keycaps

also, I'm told that thick PBT cherry profile black blanks don't and will never exist.  is this set as dark as I can get it?  is there like a 'dark grey' equivalent set out there?

Should have no problem with fitting on your board .
Your ducky board uses cherry stabilizers

Pbt blanks are just really rare and hard to come by.

You can find dark grey or black on taobao.

Enjoy :)

No different between stabiliser mounts - if a keycap fits one it will fit the other.

The backlighting will not shine through these much.

okay, I totally didn't read the ebay description - they're usually totally useless.

so I'm under the impression that if I want to put the on cherry stabs, I just put them straight on.  if I want to use them on costars, I need to keep the white plastic peg things.

is there currently a groupbuy for really dark thick pbt cherry profile blanks?  or ebay listing?

Not thick and PBT.

I've been waiting years for a set like this to come out. They don't exist in for this exact type.

Unfortunately these aren't thick. You could look at imsto's set but I don't think he sells black blanks.

they're grey.  i would prefer black or otherwise as dark as possible.  I was just wondering if there was a darker set and I want to see for myself how thick pbt actually feels.

EDIT:  at what point do I get to stop entering captchas for posting?
