Title: Interesting doubleshot keycaps on a backlighted keyboard
Post by: lakiozoon on Wed, 14 May 2014, 11:00:52

I've stumbled upon this:
http://www.maxkeyboard.com/max-keyboard-blackbird-tenkeyless-tkl-cherry-mx-backlit-mechanical-keyboard.html

Keycaps on this keyboard are injecton molded doubleshot (with a translucent layer) so they seem solid, at least comparing it to the quality of caps usually found on backlighted keyboards that wear easily.

Anyone seen similar kind of caps for sale?

Looks like the same double layered style that came on my Ducky Shine II.
