Post by: 1deeg on Fri, 25 December 2015, 17:45:19: They're using ABS Carbon Black in the pics on the MD page. They haven't even decided on who the manufacturer will be for these PBT ones yet (Vortex or TaiHao iirc) so there is no way to tell how they will turn out. Frankly, a little silly.

Post by: KnivesM on Fri, 25 December 2015, 18:06:10: Why they're even using double shot pbt for this color scheme is beyond me, I guess it's a little cheaper than IMSTOs dyesub set.

I was under the impression that they're dyesub too.

I saw no mention of dyesub in the description or by massdrop/sheraton in the discussion.

My bad, I swear I saw that they were dyesub somewhere.

Post by: ika on Fri, 25 December 2015, 18:45:57: Doubleshot PBT doesn't even exist to my knowledge, unless it's with POM (see: the Vortex backlit set). I hope it's not that because that looks like garbage.

Doubleshot pbt exists I have a couple sets; one from vortex (https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=772), one from tai hao (https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1170)(with their crappy antimicrobial coating).

No they've just became buddies with massdrop.

Post by: Giorgio on Sat, 26 December 2015, 04:20:47: The base set will probably be vortex, while the iso addon taihao. Resulting in differences and ugliness.

Post by: kekman on Sat, 26 December 2015, 05:02:50: I really like black legends on black, next best thing to blanks I guess. I do hope that the manufacturer is kept consistent between all the PBT sets though.

Did he not ship product to someone or was he just late in shipping product?

Why isn't there a thread with Vendor Reviews so noobs like me can figure out where to buy?

Post by: DukeMugen on Sat, 26 December 2015, 11:38:37: I got this a month ago. I dont know why, but when i replaced my stock keycaps with this, the ping on my keyboard became so loud. Its so ****ing irritating. When i try and run my fingers on the keys it sounds like a xylophone.

We are planning to go with Tai Hao's without the anti bacterial coating.

Tai Hao are not thick, but they are sturdy, and at least have consistent legends.

Post by: Magna224 on Tue, 12 January 2016, 17:29:43: I would like Vortex or even to try the taihao keycaps without the coating. I'm happy as long as they don't throw that coating on. It was really terrible!

Post by: skcheng on Tue, 12 January 2016, 17:31:50: I never had an issue with Originative. They sold several of my favorite sets including the Charred Orange and Dolch before anyone else really had them.
