Where to find original Leopold Red PBT ESC Keycap?
« on: Thu, 12 February 2015, 06:06:57 »
Hey Guys,

i am currently looking for an original red esc pbt keycap for my fc700r. they are actually pretty close to the gmk red esc keycaps but i am still looking for the original leopold ones.
does anyone of you know where or how to find them?
i am aware of the red/orange leopold pbt esc keycaps that can be found in korean/chinese stores but i didnt manage to find one with white printing.

appreciating any help :)

thank you very much!

Have you tried to contact the user widebasket on ebay? He's selling full Leopold PBT set so maybe he has some or he can tell you where to go!


By the way, welcome to geekhack! ;)

@NGT

thank you for your kind words! ;) i havent tried asking widebasket since those red leopold esc pbt keycaps seem to not being sold actually. i was hoping to find someone who might have some or at least one from an old leopold order since they used to be put additionally to leopold keyboards.
unfortunately not every leopold keyboard had an additional red esc pbt key.

@greath

thank you for your link! i am actually not looking for any red esc key which fits leopold profiles. the red gmk esc doubleshop fits perfectly on leopold.

i am just looking for the original red esc pbt keycap.

i felt free to refer to this picture including the leopold red esc pbt cap compared to gmk esc doubleshot cherry profile:

Is this what you are looking for? This was attached to the box when I received it from widebasket. I received it my FC660M.

^ That one is a GMK Esc.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

thanks for the picture! its actually a GMK doubleshot ESC which is quite similar to the red leopold esc.
i actually think there is no way to obtain them except someone is willing to sell his but i dont think thats gonna happen since i wouldnt do it either.
i just thight it might be worth a try to ask if someone knows :)
