Massdrop Vortex PBT keycaps
« on: Sun, 12 July 2015, 21:18:53 »
I picked up a set of these on a run earlier this year and I have to say they're my favorite set that I own currently (I have Ducky thick PBT and GMK Dolch). I got the blank set and they're more of a dark grey than black. They look really good on the CM QFR.

I think $35 and $9 shipping to Canada is a great deal on keycaps.

Might be worth a look if you want some great PBT keycaps at a realistic price.

PS. I'm not in any way affiliated with this buy or product. I just really like the ones I got and keycaps tend to cost more than these, so I consider them to be a great deal, especially from Canada.

They're better than a lot of keycaps at 3x the price

Fixed the fixed url so it works for everyone :p
"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
