Title: cheap rainbow set?
Post by: Jixr on Thu, 29 May 2014, 11:54:59
I'm looking for a dirt cheap rainbow set, with enough keys for a poker.

I know there are some nicer sets around, but this is for one of my keyboards I rarely use, so the cheaper the better. I'd just like to make a unicorn board.

Thanks for any suggestions.
( or if you have a set for sell, please PM me )

Ive been looking around pretty heavilly for a set like this, and the only ones I can find are on fengs shop on ebay. There are some sketchy sets on taobao and I believe qtan has some aswell that look a little darker? Id also be interested in any information you dig up regarding these caps. :)

Here is a pbt set as well for $45 and free shipping. It will take a month to arrive though cause shipping is slow.

Would be better off buying from feng for the extra $13 imo, plus faster delivery, But its your decision!

It won't be a 13$ difference because feng charges for shipping. It will be over 20$ difference for identical keycaps. He is looking for cheap, with cheap comes slow.

I have bought a bunch of stuff from banggood, so I know it takes a solid month to arrive.

Probably, but it won't be a 13$ difference cause I am sure feng charges for shipping.

Good point! I have bought from banggood before atleast twice and it does turn up! But it just takes a month :) good luck!

Id rather support a geekhacker :P Feng has been nice to me in PM and Id rather pay for the reliability and support a member of the community than save money and wait. I'l keep Feng's shop in mind as usual.
