My First PBT set
« on: Wed, 13 April 2016, 14:11:41 »
Just got my Gateron PBT Blanks from MD. I was hesitant at first because of the backlit keyboard but it turned out super pretty.

Also I am upside down spacebar kinda guy :p

Gotta love the texture of those PBT keycaps.  I was amazed when I first felt my first set.

Very underglow :)

I like the first shot, with all the deep pink.

One upside... you won't be needing a christmas tree!

Looks really nice man! But a bit over the top for me personally. But nice.

Does anybody know if there are PBT caps with backlit symbols?  I like when the  legends are lit up, but I  don't like the look of the light leaking from underneath.  Or is it just not possible with this type of plastic?

single color
two color way

I read that these are great. As thick as thee vortex (so average for PBT) but the best thing about them is they have top oriented legends. As far as i know the only ones. I did not try them but when I am liquid again probably will get a set
