Newegg has double-shot ABS sets for cheap.
I've read that these are made by Tai Hao.
Green - $19.99 - free shipping
Blue - $16.99 & $1.99 shipping
Yellow - $14.99 - free shipping

That's interesting. The price hasn't changed for me when I check it. Maybe they like me better :)

Ah I'm checking from an apple device so maybe they change the price

I have the Tai Hao equivalents in white-on-blue. Nice, bright colors, good quality ABS doubleshots, but I prefer the feel much thicker PBT Vortex doubleshots I have.
Still, they are a very pretty blue, and the price is right. If you like the color and ABS, I think it's a good purchase, otherwise I wouldn't have got mine. :)

Really surprising to see a mainstream retailer like NewEgg carrying these. Have any third parties been selling keycaps there?
Tai Hao has a pretty good balance of quality and price, so it makes sense in retrospect.

Newegg has been carrying them for a good while now...after the very successful GH Tai Hao buy, of course.

I'm pretty sure Amazon has these too. I also prefer PBT but hard to beat these prices. I got some red ones a month+ or so ago.

Still showing $16.99 for me, too.
These are quite sweet. Isn't it a pretty big deal to tool up for double-shots? I didn't think many people bothered these days, esp. at prices like these. There must be more expeditious automation for it now.
