Title: Vortex PBT Doubleshot Keycaps
Post by: bloorocket on Wed, 27 July 2016, 21:45:30

There are not many guides talking about these keycaps.
I have been using them for months, I can tell you the PBT + POM looks brilliant on a backlit RGB keyboard.
The thing I like, personal preference really, is the font, and how easy it is to clean the keycaps and how resistant it is to food stuff.
But I wished they produce more colours than just black and white, honestly if they managed to do something like navy blue, royale purple and Ferrari red I would buy them in a heartbeat.

Ducky is the only company I know of that has made backlight-friendly keycaps in a variety of colours, but only ABS.

Maybe there is not such demand for them.

They exist, but aren't sold under the name Vortex.

I too enjoy my vortex set.
Do a search for ikbc (allegedly the oem for vortex) on aliexpress and you'll find translucent pbt doubleshots in a variety of colors.  I haven't tried them yet.
