buy (pbt) doubleshots
« on: Wed, 22 August 2012, 05:28:53 »
Where/from whom can I buy new (PBT) doubleshots?

Are they available on taobao or somewhere else?

I live in EU.

Thank you.

It's my understanding (although VERY limited) that PBTs cannot be double-shot, and that's why they are not so common. Dye Sub PBTs are common, as are laser engraved ones, but I've never seen doubleshot.

Deck's translucent legends? Those are Painted keys with the legends lazered  off (or otherwise removed).

AFAWK Doubleshot -> ABS, Dyesub -> PBT

Is OP just looking for doubleshot keys and which ones?

NO, they do not exist, or if they do only on some obscure keyboard that you will never find. And Deck are not doubleshot, they are dyesub on translucent.
It is possible in theory to doubleshot pbt, but the tolerances are so specific and calculate shrinkage etc, that there would probably be defect free yields very low which would make them very expensive to produce in comparison to abs.

Deck's are not double shot.  They are 2 part glue-ups with that dye-sub bit lysol mentioned.
