Title: Red Escape Key
Post by: miroslav on Mon, 11 August 2014, 08:56:37

Hey guys,

I was just wondering, where would I be able to get a single red engraved thick pbt escape key from? Any links/sellers will be muchly appreciated!

Not PBT, but good thickness and quality:

Do you think it'll be weird to have a Cherry Profile ESC on a keyboard that only has OEM profile? That's one reason stopping me from using the EK ESC.

No, since you won't use the esc as much as alpha keys, so I don't think it'll be weird

I had the same apprehension when I was looking for a Red Esc key. I have a Red PBT SP dye-sub Esc in DCS profile while rest of my keys are OEM and it's fine — if anything it makes the key stand out and look special (this is coming from someone who tends to be CDO about things in general).

Possibly these. You can pick the texture and color but it doesn't say ESC.
