Tenkeyless blank set - EU or dirt cheap
« on: Thu, 07 November 2013, 08:20:23 »
Hello everyone,
is it possible to get a blank set of 87 (tenkeyless) keycaps here in EU or cheapo (tax free) in China? Or at least where to get PBT blanks.

I just want to know, if there is another source than ebay, wasd and KD.

Thank you very much :)

have you checked the geekhack vendor list? generally they are outside the EU.  http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=45672.0

or (dare I say it?) the banggood site http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=48643.0

there is of course ebay too.

I looked through almost all of it and the only thing I like are wasdds sets on ebay. I would buy them fosho, but only if I knew, that I can get theme there tax free. Stupid EU.

I would even buy an used set from someone within EU.

Hello, I found the ways to solve my problem:

1. Buy 87 set of blanks from wasdkeyboards, but no PBT

2. Two sets of DSA mounted base and modifier keycaps from keycaps direct - PBT?

What's your opinion?

Looks good, but it's from the US, so I will definitely have to pay the tax :(

you can ask feng to declare low value to avoid tax.  ;)

I have 2 used Imsto blank PBT sets that I have no use for - blue and dark grey. Could let them go cheap.
You could pick one or both or get mixed set like in this pic (not mine) for example:

No tax troubles with customs obviously, check my location :]

Get the 87-key set from banggood. Blank, medium-thick PBT at under $18, free shipping worldwide or about $2 for tracked, comes in black or white.

Personally loving mine, but not a fan of the caps lock. This also comes with a 6.25x spacebar which I couldn't test, as it doesn't fit my board.
