can you please offer a EU vendor? such as deltakeyco. unikeys is fine too.
For now we don't have a EU based vendor. Unikeys should be able to ship to EU tho they are NA based.
Unikeys works really well for EU, no need to worry abput it at all

There is no way to fix this, the Leadership has entrenched motivations that can not be maintained under any circumstances. The very last move available to them is to bet the house, and they will still lose, except everyone else loses their pants at the same time.

Keyboard Keycaps / Re: Best option for custom keycaps now that WASD Keyboards is gone?
« Last post by N8N on Tue, 11 August 2026, 14:25:52 »Late response, but YUZU custom keycaps might have what you need!

hey thanks for posting that. I'm sorely tempted to see if they'll do two color dye sub on one cap or if that is not possible - then I'd try to duplicate an old Model M

Keyboard Keycaps / Help me find a keycap set with some very specific requirements.
« Last post by N8N on Tue, 11 August 2026, 13:54:19 »Good afternoon folks! It's been literally years since I've posted here or even really checked in, but that's because I'm still happy with my at work board which is an original GMMK with Gazzew Boba U4 Silents and /dev/tty keycaps. It's a great combo but it looks like I put this together 5 years ago (and I don't want to think about how long ago it was that I built my at-home board which is a Filco Majestouch that I swapped in Cherry Clear from a POS board and used some blue and grey PBT caps that I don't even remember where I got them from, I'm sure they came from China though. I probably put that one together close to 15 years ago now.)
Anyway, I really do need to pull the /dev/ttys and clean them, they're well overdue, so I was thinking about maybe changing them up. My wishes:
- MUST be PBT or an equally durable material. Cannot be ABS. My body chemistry destroys ABS. I killed a really nice set of Cherry black doubleshots in about a year because I didn't know.
- Don't care if top or side printed. I really like the profile of the /dev/tty but that is not necessary, I can deal with Cherry or whatever.
- Here's the one I'm having trouble with. I really would like the second layer printed on the numpad because I'm thinking of scratching a curiosity itch and going to an 1800 layout board but I never really learned the second layer for the numpad.
My current caps: https://matt3o.com/about-mt3-profile-and-devtty-set/
I found this set "Yong Qiu Two-Color 9009 Retro Mechanical Keyboard Keycaps — Cherry Profile"
https://www.yong-qiu.com/products/two-color-9009-retro-mechanical-keyboard-keycaps-cherry-profile
however they do not list material and they look like double shots which makes me think they may be ABS. I did send an inquiry but have not received a response yet.
I also found some very similar ones on eBay, "150 Cherry Profile Retro Grey 9009 Dye-subbed Keycap Set with Classic win Key" seller "redesc" current item no. 326446445124 but I'm sure that won't last hence description. They are listed as dye sub PBT and the only difference I see style wise is the use of arrows and icons for backspace, return, shift, caps lock, etc. instead of text and no retro cool stepped caps lock key. The multi color windows logo is actually pretty cool even if I am grouchy and would prefer a "Super" key.
I guess another option is to drive to my storage locker and find the box that I know has a set of classic tan Cherry PBTs that I modded years ago.
Anyway the "9009" caps hit the spot for me, they're interesting while still maintaining a classic look that I can feel OK about in a professional office.
Would be open to other ideas, those are just the ones I found that I actually liked.
Opinions on the ones I've posted would be appreciated, as would other caps I might like. I really do like the /dev/tty set but the lack of the 2nd layer legends bothers me. Profile is awesome though. I could deal with anything with just a classic or even vintage cool look like the caps from an old Model M, especially the ones like one I have with multicolor legends, a Wyse terminal, a Dolch set, or something like that, if you have any suggestions that pop to mind. (I actually wish I knew where my Silicon Graphics PS/2 board went, that was a great work board, but it's in a very safe place after moving too many times)
I see PBTFans offers some sets with the 2nd layer on the numpad, although I kind of have to slog through their listings to find which ones those are. Any opinions on those?
No, I'm not taking my Model M to work. My coworkers will beat me over the head with it, and you know they're heavy
Edit: what about these? side print and backlit is super cool. https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/products/ducky-black-backlit-108-key-cherry-side-print-double-shot-pbt

Tp4 reads manual, ok, it says it needs 65 watts to charge 2 batteries at the same time.
Tp4 plugs in 65 watt charger, NOPE,
Tp4 reads manual again, checks online, ah, it needs a SPECIAL 65w, 15v 4.3amp charger, that DJI happens to sell.
FINE, buys charger.
Plugs in DJI 4.3amp 65watt charger, STILL no simul-charge.
Tp4 checks online again, watches DJI instructional video,
Video-- Only standard battery pack supports simul-charge, PLUS battery packs can only charge 1 @ a time.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
What a journey, Ffffff DJI, wthhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Keyboards / Re: Best linear switch nowadays (2026)
« Last post by tulip on Tue, 11 August 2026, 12:14:36 »I tried Gateron Smoothies - jeez, what a crap of switch - I dont know what is wrong with it, but somehow it is very sluggish, it says its 40g, but feels heavier and cap doesnt return as quick as it should, like they were over-lubed. Like pressing switch submerged in thick engine oil...
i like the way the sea salt smoothies feel though i haven’t tried the regular smoothies for comparison. i don’t think the sea salt smoothies feel sluggish!
