I see that Originative (Sheraton) has a thick PBT CYMW kit but it doesn't include the 1.75u Right Shift.
Is there or has there ever been a PBT kit similar to the GMK CYMW set (would prefer blanks)?

Their cymw set is also abs. Only the blank rgb is pbt.

Yeah I know. GMK only makes ABS caps otherwise I'd have jumped on the set already.
I see that IMSTO has two RGB sets with dyesub PBT (BSP and non-BSP) but neither includes the 1.75u Right shift, which is the last key that I need to complete my Viper =/

CYMW = Cyan Yellow Magenta with White legends.
Blanks would mean just CMY. You won't find CMYW in PBT as a lighter color can't be dyesubbed on a darker color.

Although you would be able to get CMYK made which is sick.

Right. I should have been more specific in my original post. I'm really just looking for colored mods kits and they all seem to be made in CYMW/CYMK, RGBW/RGBK. Ended up just typing CYMW because the GMK CYMW was the most recent GB. Woops, sorry for the confusion.
I wonder why no one has tried to set up a GB for BSP PBT CYMK (or CYM blank) mods. Seems like it would be a popular GB and I'm sure GH-ers would snatch them up like hotcakes (myself included).

I'm not all too crazy about PBT, but if it's available I will take it over ABS and ofc it is hard to get CMYK sets these days.

I just want a CYM/CYMK RGB/RGBK set that will fit my Viper. The rest of the keys will likely be Classic Beige Blanks from Originative (out for delivery as we speak) and not that I have anything against ABS, but I'm not too sure about mixing plastics.

None of the sources for Cherry profile PBT have a 1.75 shift available, then most of them won't take custom color orders, and if they do the MOQ is stupidly high. Except for PLUM, but I've been waiting for like 9 months on production with them so I don't have a lot of hope for them anymore either as a reliable source.

CMYK in PBT would be nice, but as Ivan said, no 1.75x shift is an issue for some people.
