Hi guys.
I currently have some EnjoyPBT I got from ukkeycaps (http://www.ukkeycaps.co.uk/product/gateron-thick-pbt-blank-keycaps-iso-ansi).
As you can see they are out of stock, I asked Joe when he would expect them back and the answer was "indefinitely out of stock". Anyways, I enjoy these pbt caps quite a lot so I definitely want more of the same.
I found similar caps (hopefully the same) on aliexpress (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Mechanical-keyboard-keyboarded-translucidus-keyboarded-resin-keyboarded-personality-keyc-for-aps/32679207765.html?ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_1_10152_10065_10151_10068_436_10136_10137_10157_10060_10138_10155_10062_10156_10154_10056_10055_10054_10059_100032_100033_100031_10099_10103_10102_10096_10147_10052_10053_10050_10107_10142_10051_10171_10084_10083_10080_10082_10081_10110_10111_10112_10113_10114_10181_10183_10182_10185_10078_10079_10073_10123,searchweb201603_16,ppcSwitch_5&btsid=be86919b-6f49-4929-b8df-644c6e685279&algo_expid=90091db5-3be7-4d77-9ab0-9ea823ea19fc-15&algo_pvid=90091db5-3be7-4d77-9ab0-9ea823ea19fc)
So questions:
1) Are these the same keycaps (except no ISO support which is okay with me)?
2) Is the aliexpress 'black' the same as ukkeycaps 'charcoal'?
3) Is the aliexpress 'white/grey' the same as ukkeycaps 'beige/grey'?
4) Bonus question: Am I understanding correctly that two of these sets would cover one ergodox?
Thank you so much.

These should be the same caps. From what I have learned. There us really only one or two makers of these style caps (Cherry Profile, PBT) out there. Gateron being the main factory. What changes between the company's you see (enjoypbt, imsto, etc) is the dye subs. I have got a set from enjoypbt and one from Massdrop and they are the same caps, just different dye subs.
So you should be fine. Oh and yes those colors should be the same.

i bought the 152 keyset from aliexpress, and in my opinion they are light black/very dark grey. I would guess theyre the same color, since enjoypbt only has so many colors (usually only do one black/grey tone)
