Proud owner of a 9008G2Pro here. Can confirm that the Pbt caps are indeed awesome.

I might be wrong but there actually there is a TKL of this thing that, for what I know, is called the 9087G2Pro (for its 87 keys; the 9008 has 108). A quick search also hints that it should have PBT caps, but I can't confirm 100%.

Thing is, it says that the keys are PBT but laser engraved, while the ones I got are dyesub. Might depend on the specific colour, though.

I took the caps off my DK9008G2 Pro and put them on my DK9087 G2 Pro.

I wish they sold them in TKL.

Very sharp-looking board. Since I got the MX Blues version, I got the not so cool grey bitone key caps. In any case, since you have both the 9008 and the 9087, why can't be the latter be considered a TKL version of the former?

Or is it the grey+blue keyset we are talking about?

Thanks for the heads-up, my paper clip betrayed me... :))

Nothing better to get into a community than making a fool of oneself...

Anyway, link fixed ;)

As far as I know Ducky has never made a TKL with the two tone PBT caps.  My DK9087 G2 Pro came with ABS caps on it.

However if you already own a Ducky TKL and want that look.  Be on the lookout for these.

I have a Ducky 9087 G2 Pro, except it's part of the "LE" edition where Ducky mixed two/three different switch types on the boards. The LE versions came with golden side printed Thin PBT caps.
