Do White PBT Keycaps Yellow?
« on: Sat, 09 June 2012, 16:28:21 »
I just got a new set of white engraved PBT's for my poker, and I was wondering if they yellow over time. It sounds weird but I kinda want them to yellow slightly to match some other white keys I have that are slightly more yellow, like the white on yellow geekhack doubleshot, and japanese flag keycaps. I'm a little OCD so it's been bothering me

I'm not sure if the PBT keycaps yellow naturally, or if the owners are just heavy smokers...

Would be interesting to find out though, and if they are yellowing naturally, if retr0brite can fix it.

The great thing about white engraved PBT is that you can just soak them in bleach and they'll come out pure white :D
