ISO PBT key caps for CM Storm Rapid-i
« on: Thu, 12 February 2015, 14:13:53 »
Hey guys, I'm looking at picking up the CM Storm rapid-i keyboard. It's pretty much the cheapest tkl keyboard available here (cheaper than normal QFR, go figure...), but unfortunately it has ISO layout and crappy stock key caps. I came across the Vortex Backlit Doubleshot PBT Keycaps at Massdrop which look sweet, but unfortunately no ISO keys available. Are there any nice PBT ISO sets available? The thicker the better (to a point, I guess). I don't care too much for backlighting btw.  Have previous group buys at Massdrop had option of extra ISO keys? I dont mind waiting some time for another buy to pop up at Massdrop if there are ISO keys appearing there from time to time.

Ducky white blank (got mine for 25€)

Ducky dye sub (came with a G2Pro)

Ducky engraved blue/grey (got mine for ~50€)


All of the would work, as far as cheap goes try /r/mechmarket for used stuff.

New ISO PBT Ducky keycaps are pretty much sold out (at least here in the UK), I've been told they are end of line and there should be a new bunch later in the year, but no fixed date.

I sourced PBT ISO caps here: https://www.teraset.net/ducky.php#0
but it seems they are out of stock.

What happened on that last photo? It looks like it got smushed.

The last one is taken with a phone camera and I guess have a different size? If you zoom it looks good but for some reason it dose look smushed
