Title: Blank white thick pbt key caps (especially blank spacebar ) for poker 2
Post by: roaming pear on Thu, 22 May 2014, 22:30:56

Where can I find a blank thick pbt key caps? It seems pretty rare if they exist at all?  What kind of price range should I be expecting if they exist?

How much are regular blank pbt key caps?

And where are good places to buy these things?

I have found this site and ebay to be places where I Can find a decent variety of key caps, but if you could recomend me other places, that would be cool...

I'd rather be able to have higher quality for a decent price.  I have seen some sets of key caps on ebay for 13 or 16, but I'm wondering why they are so cheap?  I'm assuming it is because they are not as good as the more expensive ones that are also listed on ebay...

other colors of black (thick) pbt might be cool too for future purchases...

Blank black PBT caps from Ducky (http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=98)

And blank white (http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=858)

You can also try Originativeco.com, though many people have had issues with them because the guy who runs the webstore (sheraton) is kind of flaky.

Those are not thick.

Neither are these, but they're thicker than those: http://www.banggood.com/PBT-87-Blank-White-Key-Caps-For-Cherry-MX-Keyboard-p-84084.html

Ivan is running a GB for thick blank black Cherry profile PBT caps, but orders closed a long time ago. Once they are shipped you will probably be able to find some in the Classifieds section.

Also, qtan has some white OEM profile PBT blanks for sale, but I don't know how thick they are: http://www.vendio.com/stores/E-sports-Gaming-equipments/item/pbt-key-caps/104-105-pbt-white-blank-key-ca/lid=19240210

Thanks. 

Do you know how much better the ones on QTan's website are? There is a big price difference between those two.  Thanks

The Ducky black, blank PBT sets are the initial thin PBT.

The Ducky white, blank sets are revised as they use the same molds as the Premier and G2 Pro. They are now thick, basically similar to what comes stock on the poker 2.

The image PolaBurrr linked in the MK vendor forum as he contacted and had Josh at MK take a picture of the under side of the new blank white key caps.

The PBT sets on Qtan's website are probably similar in thickness to the KeyCool sets that banggood sells.

I would ay it depends if they are old or new stocks... Hard to tell, since they don't show the underside of the caps.
