Title: Dark Thick PBT
Post by: catcradle5 on Sun, 20 April 2014, 23:21:50: Hi, I'm looking for dark-colored thick PBT keycaps. Preferably as thick as possible. This will be for a Filco Majestouch 2, with Cherry MX Blue switches. I'm fine with either blank or engraved.

Does anyone know how thick qtan's PBT keycaps are? Specifically this set: http://www.ebay.com/itm/37PBT-Plus-thick-Single-color-Key-caps-for-MX-Cherry-Switches-Side-printed-/300997693802

I'd also be interested in any other sites or vendors that sell thick PBT sets that aren't white or light-colored. Black, gray, or dark blue preferred.

Thanks.

I've already looked at Imsto's, and unfortunately all of those are a bit too light for my preference. I'll update my OP to be a bit more specific.

Perhaps shoot Ivan a PM. AFAIK he may accept requests still for sets.

Unfortunately I have been linked to Ivan's thread by 3 separate people now. I PM'd him a few days ago and he said orders are completely closed. :(

I know that there are people (possibly vendors) that bought extra sets, so you might be able to pick some up (at a mark up probably) if you look for them.
