Keycap alignment of the Gateron PBT (TaoBao: EnjoyPBT) caps
« on: Tue, 29 December 2015, 03:26:45 »
Hello there,
yesterday I found the following post on Keyboard Lab:

http://kbdlab.co.kr/index.php?document_srl=3329413&mid=board_Lsno50

I can't read all of the text, but Google Translator tells me that it is something about the alignment of the keycaps. Those caps are obviously Gateron PBTs from EnjoyPBT on TaoBao.

I just checked my board - a Winkeyless 60% with Gateron PBT blanks - and found out that the alignment there is different, too.

It is not a real problem, as the board works normally, but it would be very interesting to know where those issues come from...

I have original Cherry dye-sublimated PBT keycaps on my keyboard right now, and the alignement is even worse than those Gaterons caps pictured on kbdlab.

Doesn't seem like a big deal to me.

Indeed, it isn't a big deal!

I just taught I got some caps of bad quality...

"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
