Title: [WTB] Novelty Phantom PBT key
Post by: strict on Wed, 14 May 2014, 14:42:56
I saw Ivan post a picture of this key from the R1 novelty GB and fell in love! This would make an excellent addition to my freshly assembled Phantom with blank white PBT caps. If you have one you're willing to part with get in contact with me and I'm sure we can work something out.

After further investigation it appears as though this key did not meet MOQ and therefore did not get produced. Obviously there is at least one key in existence since there is a photo of it but I'm going to go out on a limb to say that is the only one  :'(

Are the blank white caps imsto? Imsto's white is more of an off white while some blank white pbt's are more of a bright white.

You could always change it up and be opposites and try and find one of these instead

But looking here http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50013.0 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50013.0) it looks like the 'white' one you wanted were made since there are photos of people receiving them and I'm thinking I might have gotten some but no idea what I did with them. :facepalm:

My keys are the white PBTs from BangGood which I would consider more of a bright white. I could definitely be happy with the black one you posted but my top choice would be the white key. I wonder if Ivan would run that design if I committed to order enough of them to meet MOQ (20?) lol.

IvanIvanovich decided to make a few key designs anyway, by ordering the rest up to the MOQ for himself. The white Phantom keys were made. I have one on my Phantom. ;D

If I were you I would send him a PM.

Ivan's are bright white thick PBTs in Cherry profile, but the sides are textured the same as the top surface.
