Cheapest blank PBT keycaps?
« on: Fri, 08 February 2013, 00:50:06 »
I'm planning to get a Ducky G2 Pro (It's TKL) with Blues and Greens I want keycaps with a checkered pattern. I'm looking for blank PBT keycaps specifically, does anyone know where I can find these? I'd like to go with a more inexpensive option if possible.

I bought black and white sets for I believe $35 apiece recently.  Grub through the classifieds, the seller had a bunch of them IIRC.

Shamelessly plugging my sale:

Omg $35 so tempted to pull the trigger on a black blank.  But Ducky is coming out with so many new caps now I kind of want to wait and see what they have first  :(

I really didn't want to start a new thread, so does anyone know what kind of caps these are (37+Esc) - http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.0.223.FIQId3&id=17720311404

Based on the description and photos, especially the third one down, I'm inclined to think they're thick oem profile PBT, but I really can't tell for sure. I've been seeing these at quite a few vendors on Taobao lately.

Yeah, check out Ducky's Facebook page, they had a pole on which color keycaps everyone wanted.

By the way, I ended up getting my keycaps from Takaki, thanks for everyone's suggestions!
