Title: Long time no talk...Are these legit?
Post by: TimIsABat on Wed, 15 February 2017, 16:24:40

Hey guys, so I traded my Ducky Shine 4 Massdrop Community Edition for a CODE Keyboard with MX Clears and some cash. I only did this because I really needed the cash.

Anyway, I am looking for some nice PBT backlit keycaps and I know Vortex has PBT Doubleshot Backlit keycaps but they are around $40. I perused around eBay and I found these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Translucent-Doubleshot-PBT-White-104-KeyCaps-Backlit-for-Cherry-MX-Keyboard-/401205193802?hash=item5d69b16c4a:g:a1cAAOSw8w1X~dmY

and a quick google search resulted in this one: http://www.banggood.com/White-Dual-Shot-PBT-Translucent-104-KeyCap-backlit-for-Cherry-MX-Keyboard-p-1084996.html

Just wondering if you guys know anything about these sets...trying to save a few bucks here.

They look like they might be from the same manufacturer that makes the caps for the teamwolf zhuque+ keyboard. I suppose they are okay caps. They are thin pbt (assume they are pbt, I have't tested that), but they are doubleshot and the quality doesn't seem that bad for what they are.
