Sorry, I meant to Thick PBT Blank caps.

You can buy them from imsto, feng or qtan. They're all vendors of this forum =)

Edit: Oh does feng and qtan not sell them? Oops.

feng and qtan sells black blank PBT keycaps, but not the thick ones.

Thick black blank PBT doesn't exist.

Not anymore. He's only doing dark grey and blue.

Btw, I think those side printed ones in your pic are from the mini GB I ran from imsto

Yes they are

Others ordered blanks, not sure how many ordered side print. I remembered it was a group buy within a group buy to save on shipping cost

Hm... I'll get some thick PBT ~~black~~white dyesub set soon, but not sure if they make blank set as well.

I think I saw some pics of black on black PBT dyesub once. I think that's possible, but kinda pointless IMO.

Sounds cool Feng, I would love to see some pics of the thick white dyesub. What colors will the legends be available in? And is it Cherry or OEM profile?

WhiteFireDragon · « **Reply #18 on:** Mon, 26 November 2012, 11:34:58 »

Please try to get some black blanks. If they can dyesub it, no reason they can't do less work and pull out the sets before the dyesub process.

Same as always, it'll be cherry profile with sharp corners.

Sifo · « **Reply #19 on:** Mon, 26 November 2012, 11:40:46 »

The blank black keys I have on my Unicomp are pretty thick and made from PBT. Granted they are BS keys though...

To the best of my knowledge, I would assume those would have POM caps, not PBT, am I wrong, probably?

Thick black blank PBT doesn't exist.

Why don't they exist?

Because no one makes them yet. Though I'm suprised no one jump on that yet, I always thought anything white or black should sell well in the keyboard world.

But it's ok my white keycaps is in production and hopefully will be on the way soon weeeeeeeeeeeeee

Most companies probably think it makes more sense to make white caps instead because they can be sold blank or dyesubed instead of just blank. More economical that way.

And, there are only so many PBT keycap makers, especially the "thick" kind.

Thanks for the awesome pix. I'm gonna talk to imsto right away 😊

Those are from his old old stock that he doesn't have them anymore. You'll have to wait for the new white keycaps which is going into production tomorrow, production time is about 2-3 weeks so you won't see it until close to January.

lol only 1 factory for the thick kind right now I think.

Are there any thick OEM profile keycaps?

Vintage · « **Reply #35 on:** Thu, 29 November 2012, 19:44:48 »

Uhhh... I think IMSTO sells OEM profile PBT. I think that stuff is "thick" too.

There might be some OEM profile "thick' PBT on Ebay too.

I'm pretty sure the KBC keycaps are OEM profile, the famous thick PBT dyesubs are cherry profile, near as I can tell.

Sifo · « **Reply #37 on:** Sat, 01 December 2012, 13:49:20 »

No there's no OEM thick as far as I know. Thicks are all cherry profile... the oem black ones are thin
