Free Blank White PBT's::::: in exchange for a little help

[KuhnTang]

I got a ducky dk9087g2 pro with blank white PBT's that came with the board.  link here:
http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=189

It's a good keyboard, I just don't like the blanks as much as I thought I would.  I've been looking at a few sets from FENG on ebay here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/KBC-Gray-Dyesub-Thick-PBT-Cherry-MX-Key-Caps-105-keys-included-/230852256384?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D13833%26meid%3D4068521069593276660%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1085%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D230852256384%26

and a cool looking set in the groupbuys section here:
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=37270.0

now you know a little about my taste, "what I'm looking for".  I wish they would make up their mind on that toxic set, I really like it.  anyway... to the point.  I'm tired of looking around and was hoping to get a little help.  I'm getting rid of these keys anyway, so whomever finds me a set of keys (that I will buy), all you need to do is provide me the link, and you will get my blank PBT's for free.  I will cover shipping as long as it is within CONUS, outside of that I don't want to bother with the hassle, sorry, and it's expensive.

Anyway, if you want my keys, or just want to help a guy out, please send me some links, I would prefer PBT, liked the thick ones from FENG!
Thanks

Sounds like you need some IMSTO dyesubs (Thick PBT) \

You may like going to WASD keyboards and designing a set of keys there. Their keyboard designer allows you do do what ever design you'd like.
Pros:
Unlimited possibilities
Cheap
PRO Customer Service
Cons:
OEM Profile
ABS plastic
Lasered (if you don't like that sort of thing.

Maybe try fengs group buy for those thick vortex pbt dyesub at http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=37999.0.

[KuhnTang]

Yeah, I saw that vortex set from Feng.  Unfortunately, that is the ugliest font I have ever seen.  Maybe not the ugliest, i saw some guy on here that had an "Elvish" font, lol.

You should check out SP's extra inventory. They have PBT keycaps and lots of colors. But ask them if they're blank keycaps or not because I think they are. http://www.keycapsdirect.com/key-capsinventory.php

JWaZ is correct.  Go with imsto dyesubs with Cherry legends.  He only has them in varieties of sky blue and grey at the moment for full sets.  The dyesubs are great because they're thick, nicely textured and high quality PBT with sharp Cherry legends (though not as sharp as doubleshots).  You can also mix in red for the alphanumeric keys (http://www.ebay.com/itm/KBC-Red-Dyesub-Thick-PBT-37-Keyset-Cherry-MX-Keycaps-/230892913898?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item35c24a44ea).

Here's an example of what a combination of the blue and grey set could yield:


To get them, you can start by getting a base set by emailing imsto (imsto at qq dot com) or PM him (he replies faster via email).  Msg him specifically for Cherry legend PBT dyesubs.  You'll thank us later =)

[IvanIvanovich]

Another vote for imsto Cherry style.

[jeroplane]

Replied to your other thread a while ago recommending imsto's dyesubs, but it looks like you've deleted that. Good that you've found the info now, though. Great quality keys.

[esoomenona]

I really wish I could grab one of those red sets from feng... sigh, only 10 available.

[KuhnTang]

I've seen the grey dyesubs from feng.  They are the same ones that I referenced in the original post, and yes I like them, that is why I referenced them, kudos to you for good taste.  What I really want is something more unique though.  Like the toxic set in the "interest" section.  How long does it take for these group buys to go through?  I would even be happy if the grey dyesubs had orange font.

Does anyone have leftovers from any groupbuys?   Or possibly know of one that is about to go through that I can jump in and take part in?

thanks again for all the posts guys.

You can get orange on grey thick PBT dyesubs from imsto.

With the way I've worked with imsto, you just PM him what you want, and the rest is business.

[ImaMoFoThief]

did anyone take you up on those white keys yet?

[KuhnTang]

Not yet.  If you send me the link to the set that I buy, they are yours, but that goes for everyone.  I'll let you know when I have found the set I will purchase. 

[WhiteFireDragon]

Right now all thick PBT caps come from the same place, whether it's feng or imsto. You either have to get dark grey or all white, there are no other variations. QWERTYkeys has some sets you could look into, although they're ABS. You could do something like getting this BASE set, then mix it up with the FUNCTION set also. Mix it up more with arrow and WASD cluster.

Feel free to PM me for shipping address to send those free PBT keys. JK.

OK WhiteFireDragon, you are like the only one to post me a link of  anything that I haven't really seen before.  I may pick up a set, even though they are ABS.  If I do, then you will get my caps.  If you don't want them, let me know and I'll just give them to someone else.  One stipulation, I have to wait until I get the new ones as these are the only ones that I have at the moment.  I'll let you know in the next couple of days.

Thanks for the link.

Thicks are nice but I don't mind going a lil' thinner (I know these are of "lower" taste but I don't mind them):

I'm a huge fan of blank caps, but I was really Jk about sending me the free caps. Just sell it to recoup some of the cost of those expensive QWERTY caps. But if you're really insisted on giving them to someone else, then I'll take them lol

[laffindude]

I'd suggest keeping the caps. Variety is the spice of life. Even I get bored of boring black blank boards sometimes (tongue twister?).
