Cherry Profile Thick PBT on Ducky Board
« on: Sat, 27 July 2013, 02:38:12 »
http://www.ebay.com/itm/KBC-Grey-Blank-Thick-PBT-104-Keyset-Cherry-MX-Keycaps-/330950287238?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d0e2c9f86

will these fit on a duck 9087 shine 2?

I'm new to all of this and I'm not sure if there are 'cherry stabilizer' and 'costar stabilizer'-only keycaps

also, I'm told that thick PBT cherry profile black blanks don't and will never exist.  is this set as dark as I can get it?  is there like a 'dark grey' equivalent set out there?

ALL zombros wanted:  dead or undead or dead-dead.

Should have no problem with fitting on your board .
Your ducky board uses cherry stabilizers


Pbt blanks are just really rare and hard to come by.

You can find dark grey or black on taobao.

Enjoy :)

No different between stabiliser mounts - if a keycap fits one it will fit the other.

The backlighting will not shine through these much.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

okay, I totally didn't read the ebay description - they're usually totally useless.

so I'm under the impression that if I want to put the on cherry stabs, I just put them straight on.  if I want to use them on costars, I need to keep the white plastic peg things.

is there currently a groupbuy for really dark thick pbt cherry profile blanks?  or ebay listing?

Not thick and PBT.

I've been waiting years for a set like this to come out. They don't exist in for this exact type.

Unfortunately these aren't thick. You could look at imsto's set but I don't think he sells black blanks.

they're grey.  i would prefer black or otherwise as dark as possible.  I was just wondering if there was a darker set and I want to see for myself how thick pbt actually feels.

EDIT:  at what point do I get to stop entering captchas for posting?
