Title: New store for UK buyers - UKKeycaps - Will be posting with this profile
Post by: UKKeycaps on Tue, 07 July 2015, 11:15:25
Hi,

I'm mainly a R/MK user but I thought a mech enthusiast should really have a GH account. I have a store which caters to UK clackers and I'm currently running a group buy for ANSI and ISO Tai Hao PBT keycaps, I'll post about it in the GB sub-forum when I meet the new thread criteria for that forum.

Anyway nice to be here

Cheers!

I asked this on /r/mk but never got a response.

Who manufactures the 60% cases?

Yeah these cases look like they're from the same manufacturer

Luckily my goal was never to compete with China  :eek:

EDIT: I wanna post in the GB forum about my Tai Hao PBT group buy but I can't atm, what's the criteria to be able to make a new post there?

Welcome to Geekhack!

I've seen a few of your posts around the forum - good to see that you are making yourself known :)

I recently got the Tai Hao PBT from Massdrop, black and orange too!  They are great - OEM profile, but I knew that in advance.  They are nicely textured, and a reasonable contrast between the keycaps and the legends.

Good luck with your GB - it sounds like people want more ISO-compliant group buys.
