Title: keyboards with thick pbt key caps as stock key caps
Post by: roaming pear on Tue, 20 May 2014, 17:11:32: Hello,
I'm looking to see what other keyboards use thick pbt keys besides the poker 2. I I already have a poker 2, but was wondering what other keyboards have thick pbt keys?

What keys do the cool master tenkeyless have?

Thanks

The Ducky DK9008G2 PRO boards have thick PBT, and I think KBT ONI/ONE have them too. The duckies are dye-sublimation, the KBTs are lasered.

Post by: tbc on Tue, 20 May 2014, 17:15:38: any gaming brand is going to have thin abs as far as I know (some are still worse than others).

ducky premier series will have thick pbt in two bicolor schemes.

i THINK the deck hassium and francium have thick DS PBT with translucent legends.

of course, there are a whole buttload of vortex sets sold separately

Thin PBT with ABS spacebars.

Post by: Oobly on Wed, 21 May 2014, 04:26:21: There really aren't that many that come to mind aside from the Poker 2:

The non-backlit KBT Race and KBT ONI have thick PBT caps like the Poker 2.

Ducky Premier and Yellow edition have thick PBT caps. The G2Pro and 105-key PBT sets are THIN PBT, the newer 109 key sets are THICK PBT.

I think some of the Keycool 84 and 87 (and possibly 108) boards come with PBT caps, but they're medium thickness, in between Ducky thin PBT and Poker 2 thick PBT.

Certain models of Cherry G80 and G81 had thick PBT caps, some had POM.

Noppoo Choc Mini has thick POM caps.

I can't say I like the grey color of the caps though.

Are they thicker than the pad printed version? Those weren't that thin, but I wouldn't call them thick either.

Post by: tbc on Thu, 22 May 2014, 16:57:07: where did we get confirmation they were thick?

They are definitely thicker than the stock pad printed keys. I think I saw that they are 1.3mm, but don't quote me on it.
