Title: options for White on Black keycaps
Post by: redskull on Wed, 06 November 2013, 00:27:38

hi guys,

where can we get Whine on Black keycaps set other than the Original Cherry White on Black doubleshot ABS? it seems very hard to find especially PBT material. almost all White on Black keycaps set i found for sale are ABS. why is there non made with PBT?

it's because pbt doubleshots are extremely hard to find (only vortex currently make them), and you cannot dyesub a lighter colour onto a darker keycap (like white onto black).

ah, well that sucks. ABS will shine quite early in its usage, while black PBT i guess will have laser-etched legends that gets rubbed off early as well.
