Title: Where can I find green unprinted/blank thick pbt caps?
Post by: platypus on Sun, 03 November 2013, 17:58:42

Pretty much ITT. :)

The caps are going to be for a Poker II, so cherry caps with standard ANSI layout iirc

Closest thing to what you want that may be available at times is DSA keycap from Signature Plastics. Otherwise Cherry profile best bet would be to buy white set and dye.

The DSA ones look like thin PBT caps to me, thanks for the help though. 
Where would I buy a white set, and how hard is dyeing them?

True, DSA is not superthick but they are better than say KBC, Ducky regular...

For thick Cherry profiles try message imsto and/or feng and see if they have any left. Dye is not too hard, I dyed this ones purple with RIT

Oops. Didn't see that it's ABS… Last I looked at them it was about 2 months ago. Well that leaves you and I looking for some…

I ordered this and it arrived yesterday

http://www.banggood.com/PBT-87-Set-Blank-White-Key-Caps-For-Cherry-MX-Keyboard-p-84084.html

Free shipping worldwide. Took 2 weeks to arrive at US.

There are 2 good reviews on that site.

From what I'm told they are medium thickness. Not imsto thick but not thin either.

I'll do a review when I got it this weekend or next
