Title: Where can i find Blank white thick PBT keycaps set?
Post by: madqc on Wed, 12 February 2014, 23:07:31
As the title says, im looking for Blank white thick PBT keycaps sets, 87 or 104 is fine. I've been looking everywhere and they seem impossible to find, even in classifieds.

If if i cant find blanks, i might consider side printed ones.

You can get a cheap, medium thickness set from Banggood if you don't mind waiting a month or so for shipping: http://www.banggood.com/PBT-87-Blank-White-Key-Caps-For-Cherry-MX-Keyboard-p-84084.html

Quality is decent.

Thick blank blue PBT set from Feng: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KBC-Blue-Blank-Thick-PBT-104-Keyset-Cherry-MX-Keycaps-/330950281295?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d0e2c884f

Qtan used to list a side printed version of this set: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/104PBT-white-printed-keycaps-Keyboard-Filco-Cherry-/300910270965?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item460fa659f5

But I think they're the same as the Banggood blank ones, medium thickness, not thick (Keycool brand caps).

I'm in the same boat as you.

The links provided are currently the only options as far as I know.

Unfortunately the Banggood ones are out of stock.

Banggood has the white blank PBT 84 set in stock still.
I might just have to sacrifice the 4 missing keys on my 87-TKL (when I get it)

Finding a set of blank PBT at 87 or 104 is becoming my holy grail  :-X

^ buy 2 and sell part of the 2nd set to someone with a 60% board?

Haha yeah I was thinking about doing that. Not sure if I have the budget for two right now. We'll see. I'm still a newbie to these forums :D

What makes me angry is some 60% boarder bought the 87 set, posted pictures/reviews of their keycaps on Banggood, and said they had remaining keys left over. Just lying around somewhere.
in the dark.
with no one to touch them...  :(
