PBT Key Caps
« on: Fri, 11 November 2011, 18:28:36 »
Hello. I'm looking to buy the following for my TKL Filco Majestouch 2 keyboard:

*Yellow, red, or white printed PBT key caps for the number row (1234567890-=)

*Yellow and/or red engraved or blank PBT WASD key caps

*Yellow and/or red engraved or blank PBT arrow keys

I can't find them anywhere on the web or maybe I'm looking at the wrong places. Hopefully some one here has some. Just name price with shipping included to 91801 California. Thanks.

I haven't seen anything like you have mentioned above for sale or at least I have seen.

Might want to check tabaoo listing to see if they have anythign since I have seen some stuff there I havent seen anywhere else. Then maybe you can ask qtan to see if he can source it for you.

edit: actually  i think qtan was selling something like items 3 - *Yellow and/or red engraved arrow keys

I pm'ed him and asked him about it and he said he couldn't come through. Maybe what I'm asking for doesn't exist or the least, very difficult to find. :frown:

I'd go with with custom key caps from WASDKeyboards but I really like the texture and feel of PBT caps lol.

Hopefully, one day WASDKeyboard will stock custom PBT caps.

Thank you though, jpm804.

There's only one solution. Buy a Topre :)

lol interesting read.

My whole keyboard is dressed with engraved PBT white key caps. Only reason I want printed or lasered number row is because I can't touch type worth a damn on it and it's hard to see the numbers on the white engraved keys.

And the wasd and arrow are just for looks. PBT because I like the feel of the keys. Shiny keys don't bother me.

This is an expensive hobby.

Is it possible to buy PBT blanks from qtan and then send them to wasd to be marked?

He has said yes in the past but  you would have to send him in a few spares to set up the laser.

Lasered or dyesubbed PBT is what you want.

In other words Cherry Corp or IBM or Topre or KBC keys.

Or vintage apple keys...

Just in case you could not find anyone selling PBT to you. What you could do is head over to PChome and get a set of Ducky's PBT keycap. They are compatible with filco

Thanks for the suggestions, but it's hard to navigate a website that's not in English. That Taobao website looks interesting too but I couldn't find my way around it.

Updated OP with some changes. Changes are in bold.

*Yellow, red, or white printed PBT key caps for the number row (1234567890-=)

*Yellow and/or red engraved or blank PBT WASD key caps

*Yellow and/or red engraved or blank PBT arrow keys
