Looking for blank black PBT keycaps.
« on: Thu, 09 October 2014, 20:07:28 »
I'm looking to buy a set of blank black PBT keycaps for a tenkeyless but I'm having a hard time finding any. Does anybody know where I can buy some? Preferably cheap?

I think I remember seeing somewhere that Widebasket on eBay said he might start stocking blank black leopold pbt caps soon.  Until then, I think you're only option might be to see if you can take over someone's order in Ivan's PLUM group buy.

I asked him a few days ago and he said no plans for blank black.

But I wish he could get some that would be great!

Although the side prints really aren't bad, perhaps there is a way to get the side print legends off?

I posted this in one of the duplicate threads but since it seems like this is the one being used I'll repost it here.

Three options for the most part. There's a seller on ebay selling thick leopold PBT, but unfortunately nothing in blank black.
Side print black
Dark navy blank

Another option would be to try to pick up a blank black set from Ivans pitch black PBT group buy from someone willing to part with a one. Ducky also makes a blank black set but it hasnt been in stock for a little while now.

I wonder how possible that is. Using something like a plastic razor blade, maybe?

If they are DSA on that site I would bet PBT.

Thanks for the links guys. With the signature plastics site do I just add the base set to my cart and then a modifier set?

yup, cause those 2 = 89 keys
which obviously you'll have the F/J Deep Dish taken out if you don't want to use them so that means 87keys

Ducky also makes a blank black set but it hasnt been in stock for a little while now.

MechanicalKeyboards.com has been getting the blank black sets in periodically but they sell out very fast.  I would not recommend them however - they are very thin, have warping issues.  On the personal preference side I don't like that they are OEM profile and they feel very sand-paper like - more so than most PBT sets.

If it were me I'd head over to Ivans GB and see if someone will let you swap places with them.
