Title: Awesome keycaps going for cheap
Post by: berserkfan on Fri, 21 November 2014, 08:26:50

Note that this is MY. The expert geeks among us should be able to tell whether they are dyesubs or pad printed ie whether it is worth the $36 to get all the 1u keys.

Shh, I put an offer in on that.  I've been wanting one of those for a while now.

And it's G81, so you can't use most of the modifiers.

oh yeah I saw that and passed (some keycaps appear to be SP: there was a post about them on GH awhile back)
I notice it's sold now. Did you get it nubbinator?

All the keys are Cherry. The colored keys are dyesub or infilled for the white legends. The rest are lasered PBT.

Thanks for the clarification. I was thinking about a different keyboard.

I did get it.  $25 and I'm picking it up locally.  I posted the cheap one in the UK and have been wanting one since I saw it.  I put in the offer before it got posted here and I got lucky since they accepted.

Edit: I just picked it up.  It's a little dirty, but looks good.  No doubleshots yet, just really nice pad printing on the ABS caps.  Pics to come after cleaning.  And, while it's MY, tge white sliders it has feel better than the awful black slider MY.
