Title: Anyone got Ducky PBT?
Post by: lolkey on Fri, 23 May 2014, 15:03:13
Anyone have a set of these (http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=98)? Are they worth the price coming from stock FILCO ABS caps? I heard they are practically the same thickness as the FILCO caps. I'm looking for a blank black pair of PBT in Cherry profile and it's the only thing I can find.

Those are OEM profile not cherry profile.

There was a group buy recently for thick blank black PBT cherry profile caps but it is over but there are going to be extras I'm sure and people selling there sets.

yes.

filco caps are among the worst caps out there.  probably only better than wasd and w/e the g710+ uses.

The Ducky blank black caps are THIN PBT, too.

I'd post in Ivan's GB thread that you want a set of the blanks and someone may be willing to sell one to you once the GB completes. They'll also start appearing in the Classifieds section after the GB completes. So far it looks like they'll be really nice, although it'll still be a while until they're shipped.
