I am looking for good keycaps under 120$
« on: Tue, 24 January 2017, 20:57:15 »
Hi everyone. I am looking for keycaps suggestion for my new IKBC MF-87. I have a budget of around 120$.

I got recommended the Originative Modern Beige and EnjoyPBT. I would like to know which is better.

The thing I love about the Enjoy and the Modern Beige is the combination of the color cyan and magenta in the legends.

In terms of color I love the type of color scheme like the GMK Hydro, DSA Lightcycle, or the DSA Royal Navy. Materials I really do not care, I just want it to be a of a good quality and thickness.

EnjoyPBT is a brand, so you might have to specify what colorway you're referring to. and Modern Beige is just that (beige with black lettering iirc). If you like the cyan and magenta, try looking at the Hyperfuse colorway by GMK, it is very popular, though sold out. GMK Hydro might still be available for sale also, but both GMK sets will run you a bit more than your asking price. EnjoyPBT is relatively affordable, ranging anywhere from $75-90 for a complete set

Have you tried poking around mechmarket? You could probably get a set of DSA Granite or Dolch for around your price, if you happen to enjoy DSA profile. Otherwise the previous suggestions are quite good too!
