That's looking pretty good.  I'm interested in what black/dark grey on white will look like.

OK I'm an idiot (you heard it here first) - why would these be desirable?
It's 'cause PBT > ABS. Thanks \KL!
and dyesub's are awesome.

Basically win-win all 'round. They look a little like the topre keycaps? Can they do that with dyesub, not laser?

Either way, I'm interested in Dyesub PBT.

These going to be available in ISO layout? I feel as though that is a question that does not need answering but I wish I could get some PBT caps for my UK Filco.

Your skills in deduction seem to be quite lacking for a self-proclaimed "expert".

0.8mm is thin, even the new SP PBT keys look thicker than KBC I. Topre keys are what I would call medium thickness keys.

Same here, as that's the only downfall of Dyesub PBT: since you're adding dye to the pores, you "usually" can't take a darker colour keycap, and put a lighter legend on it. If there's some way around this, then all my problems are solved!

Well "soon" obviously means more than 30 days.

These look very nice but I with the caps were lighter to give better contrast like the HHKB.

So I guess these are not going to happen. Quite a shame really, I wanted a nice set of dye-subs.
