Not only dyesubs, there are cherry kb with lasered thick pbt keycaps. you can tell theyll have thick pbt caps by looking at f&j
 If those are scooped, and the article number indicates lasered keycaps, you found what youre looking for. And most probablypay far less than for a dyesub set.
Same as with dyesubs, this only applies to BoW keycaps.

For Cherry, all the larger than 1x keys are thick. For A profile, it mostly comes down to the production year on which have A profile as it was more common on the older ones made before 1992. I've never seen a dyesubs board that didn't have A profile.

Thx, guys.
I saw a rumor that some keyboards which is applying thick PBT Winkeyless use ABS Spacebar....
Is that true? I just want Thick PBT A profile 7x Spacebar.... That's the reason why i'm looking for those kinds of keyboards....

While there may be some exceptions out there, generally with Cherry boards if a set was PBT all the keys were PBT including the spacebar. Cherry wasn't afraid of making large keys in PBT... not even 10x spacebars on old AT style layout models.
