Title: Need Advice on White thick cherry profile PBT Keycaps.
Post by: srikzquest on Sat, 01 July 2017, 02:55:56: Hi,

I haven't owned a single keycap set until now and I want to invest in White thick cherry profile PBT Keycaps as my default set. I have seen these 2 until now. Both the below sets have nice contrasting legends as well at least in the pictures. Does any one have experience with these sets. If so, could you please let me know how they were in person.

The first one is from Sentraq.com

https://sentraq.com/collections/keycaps/products/cherry-profile-dye-sub-pbt-keycaps

The second one is from KBDFans

https://kbdfans.myshopify.com/collections/keycaps/products/one-dye-subbed-keycap-set-104keys

Please let me know.

Thanks...

Another option you might want to check out are EnjoyPBT sets, although they don't come in full white (they have beige modifiers). They're a little bit pricier but they're probably the nicest thick cherry profile PBT that's readily available to consumers. The legends are quite clean in person.

I haven't used them yet, I'm waiting for mine in the mail. However, they're just EPBT blanks, and I know EPBT is good.

Thank you. Are the alignment issues fixed and did you face the sticky space bar or any other stabilized key issues?

Sorry Puddsy, though I touch type, I am not interested in Blank Key caps on my Keyboard except probably for custom programmed keys.

Also, from my research I realized that both the sites contain the keys from the same manufacturer. Only difference is Sentraq is selling One pure white set and separately One Gray set whereas KBDFans is selling only one set with a mix of White Alphas and Grey modifiers from the same sets as Sentraq. They are both designed by Master Control and manufactured by NPKC.
