Post by: Upcboy on Tue, 10 December 2013, 10:45:52
where is the Cheapest place that you have found to buy Blank Keycaps? I've purchased a Black set for my keyboard and don't Remember paying 40$ for a TKL set. Any Suggestions where to pick up a few different sets in Different colors?

WASD also sells on ebay. I think their sets are a couple dollars cheaper there versus on their site. Not sure how shipping, etc. affects the price.

i saw a blank white pbt on newegg for like 15 bucks. Its the same one banggood sells for like 18. the newegg listing is probably the same people... slow ship, dubious quality, but you wont beat the price.

while banggood sucks for everything except the wallet(sharking prices, long ship times, lack of communication) they have a decent collection straight from keycool

Could be possible. The stock keycool keys suck anyways, all the mods were crooked and they feel....weird...compared to other pbt caps

but for $16 YOLO

ISO PBT/POM blanks for G80-3000 anywhere?

Only on Chery G80-3000L*CXX. No one else in the entire world seems to have ISO enter molds for Chery profile PBT or POM. Those that have ISO from other source (except for Signature Plastics, but they are mega expensive and don't always have in stock either) don't have stepped caps lock and offset spacebar mount that works on G80.

So basically what you're saying is that I should buy a HHKBP2 as an alternative, right? ;D
