Thick ABS you can get at EK.

The only place I can think of to get thin/thick PBT would be like a novelty dyesub key or something?

Sounds like someone wants to make custom keycaps and needs top row blanks as a base ;)

Is the problem that we can't get anyone to make a Topre cap mold, or just that it's really expensive?
