DOUBLE SHOT PBT

from deck in China? i heard about that. Pending on the reply from the market, hopefully it is a key cap revolution.

[pitashen]

PBT double shot was never impossible but quite costly. Therefore it has rarely been used.

Looks like uniform key profile, so it's probably Deck. Wonder if those are sold separately.

[Hyde]

Let's hope it's Deck, because this will mean they finally fixed that ugly font  >____>

[RSC]

That was what I was thinking. Deck's font is so fugly... These look great, though.

Let's hope it's Deck's new 87 key tenkeyless boards.  From one picture you can see that it has a very thin bottom border which is nice.

Less border = win.

And on the same pic you can see the bottom says "great battery life", does that mean it's wireless?

Less boarder = win.

Why would you backlight a wireless keyboard? Doesn't make a ton of sense other than to show off

LOL Logitech made one, but I guess it's not mechanical.  But yeah unless that label is from something else then we've been fooled.

"Great Battery Life"
"Great Performance"

I wonder what it is >____>

I think the keyboard is sitting on top of the keyboard of an open laptop. Next to that sticker looks like a touchpad mouse.

[IvanIvanovich]

All I want to know, is who is making this and what the moqs are... I want keycap like this, but in runes.

[rowdy]

Interesting italic legends.

Ahhhhh good point !!!  But yeah otherwise this look like your typical 87 key tenkeyless with function row.  I hope Deck adapt their full size keyboards to this font and compact border.

Looks like a cheap HP from the trackpad. Perhaps a pavillion?

I'm pretty excited about this. PBT is excellent.

that is the stick on a laptop if u see the touchpad
btw, deck's chinese name is stupid.

[laffindude]

What's the name in Chinese?

Movie watching at night with my HTPC, loading new movies, browsing, etc.

I thought those Chinese called Deck - "甲板", which literally mean deck(on a ship)?

lol I do admit that sounds pretty fail.  I don't know what Deck Legend suppose to be but that kind of direct translation is still pretty fail

So if double shot PBT is possible then I'm assuming that you could do a black cap with a white double shot in a certain shape, let's say a ghost shape from pac man for example and then dye sub the white part with the different ghost colors and have a double shot PBT dye sub on a black cap! This would obviously be much more costly but would open a lot of doors design wise and eliminate the need for blasted pad printed caps! I call it the YoungMichael Double Shot Dye Sub Technique. Haha

I imagine it would be much more cost effective to just use blue PBT instead, Unless you wanted to leave the ghost's eyes "white" for your LED's to shine through.

[YoungMichael88]

^^Well the idea is to be able to have dye sub images on something other then a white cap. The pac man ghost was just an example of an idea that never went anywhere because the white cap didn't make sense and there were too many colors for doubleshots.

EDIT: But yea I love caps designed for LEDs and there just aren't many out there.
