Looking for a mechanical keyboard with these properties..
« on: Thu, 22 August 2013, 01:25:22 »
-Full size
-PBT or double shot ABS key caps
-Comes with blue and brown switches
-Costar stabilizers

Is there any mech kb on the market at the moment that has all these properties in stock?

Ergodox..

But you do have to do the costar stabilizers yourself.  I will fully instruct anyone that needs to do this.. should You choose to go with the Ergodox

I would suggest to buy some costar made keyboard like CM XT, Rosewill 9000, Filco... and an aftermarket set of keycaps.

^  Yeah basically what he said, there isn't any stock Costar made keyboard out there that comes with PBT or ABS double shot.

Though it wouldn't be hard to find a keyboard that fit all your requirement except keycaps have to be aftermarket.

Oh another option is to buy the barebone WASD V2 keyboard.

KeyCool comes with PBT keycaps - mine is 87, is there full size version?
"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

Good call, I forgot about the Keycool 108 with white PBT keycap. Has everything you want cost about $120. Actually you are probably in a good position to get it cheaper from China.
