Title: NEW! WASD Keyboards Double Shot PBT Keycap Sets
Post by: jdcarpe on Wed, 09 September 2015, 19:34:50

Looks like WASD Keyboards just started selling their first ever PBT and doubleshot keycap sets.

ooo. neat. This seems a bit expensive though, even if it is for a full keyboard.

I wonder if WASD would ever do custom print PBT caps, even if pad-printed. Now that, I would definitely pay for.

edit: according to this thread (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=75065.0), they are rebranded Tai-Hao caps :(

This is a good thing if it leads to custom doubleshots

Not a bad looking key set. They seem to be on the thin side but the font choice is really nice. My biggest complaint with every other doubleshot PBT set is that the legends look terrible.

They're rebranded Tai-Hao so they have that antimicrobial coating on them.

Which they can do without the coating as the WASD rep said he had some without to test.

My first thought was that they are Tai Hao, especially that display sheet (although I am yet to receive a Tai Hao set on such a sheet).

Still, it is good to have another outlet.

I've bought TaiHao set month ago. Same box, same insert. Just another box color. And TaiHao set's are double colored. I've bought black with orange. They look much better then just black.

And just $49 with shipping, instead of $55 without. And with more keys inside - additional 1.5u modifiers, 7u spacebar, stepped caps-lock, short shift and may be something else.

But they are thick. And i'm already broke spacebar. It is very delicate.

But if they produce custom sets - this will be great!
