I'm after thick PBT front/side printed caps for my TKL board with reds. I'm after a better "feel" than the stock thin ABS caps offer.
I have looked on all the links in the sticky and the only vendor that comes close is the TaoBao Q guy, who is either out of stock or doesn't quite have what I'm looking for. The fonts he uses in particular aren't that appealing.
I'm thinking of either a white keyboard/case with black front printed keycaps or a pastel blue case with white keycaps with pastel blue front/side printing in a non-attention seeking font style. Kind of like the Filco Ninja style, but a variety to choose from?
I'd maybe consider POM caps if the colours/designs were attractive.
Any ideas where I can find such things?! Many thanks!
Cheers

I've always wanted something like this...
Just that for the current keyboard I'm using (KBT pure non pro), it's gonna be hard to find an R1 1.75X R_Shift :(

I have a set of cherry thick PBT caps from IMSTO, but he did not have anymore when I tried to buy a second set. No 1.75 R_Shift though...
The caps are awesome, but these pictures are not. You can get the idea though. I was taking care of the OEM mods that I got from bangood.

Side print dyesub thick Cherry profile PBT sets should be an option for my next full sets groupbuy. For now I don't think they exist anywhere.

That would be awesome. I hope you open this IC-GB soon.

Well they do exist, but finding a set will be close to impossible. IMSTO did not have any left last time I checked.
Here they are:

aw man...
and here I am thinking that grey beige set DSA profiles would be my endgame! :(
If this does happen i hope they won't cost too much...

Welcome to hackwallet! ;)

Dyesub PBT in the groupbuy is $75/set. It's not too high price compared to some other options.

hahaha hackwallet indeed. That Vortex blue/white themed PBT Dye sub keyset is the colour theme I like, but I'd be chasing full white keys with blue text (front printed). Group buy it is!

Hey there, looks like feng is selling a set exactly like that in the classifieds section, haha.

I checked a couple of pages at the classifieds and there was no feng offers.

The new FC750R will have thick navy blue side printed PBT. I saw one on display in Korea while I was there, although sadly the owner wouldn't sell me a display copy :(

This is the exact set I have. It is lovely... I searched for months to find this set, so I would recommend you pick it up right away. You won't find it again (I almost guarantee it)...

Still no 1.75x Rshift else I would've gotten it immediately!

Explore the Granite GB then.

Imagine if WASD offered PBT or DoubleShot materials with the same customisation options ... I wrote to them and they have no intention of offering anything other than UV coated ABS, which is fair enough, but still ... :'(
I appreciate the links :) Item 66 was dual tone gray/white with top print. I don't think I'm keen on graphite either. :/ Guess I'm just too fussy, but if I'm not going to be 100% happy, I might as well stick with the oem keyset.
-
Granite and wasd won't give you thick caps though. Not nearly the quality.

Someone need to contact Vortex and do a groupbuy on these.

The new Leopold board has side printed thick PBT caps.

Maybe they will start to sell them seperately.

Ducky has a set of gold on black side printed pbts. I am not sure how thick they are though.

-
