Hell no. Many manufacturers made keycaps. In fact as long as it is plastic maker and had the suitable mold, they should be able to make it.

SP is famous here(and GH) because it is among the only few who take order and made Double Injection(DS) Keycap. IIRC, other some plastic industries also had the ability to make it, just that their cost or order quantity is higher. A few "k" of keycaps may seems lots to us but it may not be the same way by industrial standard. Which is the reason GH is stick to SP everytime.

yeap, there's another keycap DS maker that make thicker DS keycap which i mention before. i'm still currently waiting for their reply. PS : i do mention their name before xD

You mean Devlin? I thought they denied that they can do DS on profile keycaps? I saw their DS keycaps in taobao, really the printing isn't DS. They more seems to using DS same colored plastics to make the keycap thick.

Some feedback by GHers.

I think the min order quantity may be really high, which is why till today we haven saw any custom caps from Devlin.

Here's my 2 cents: Overall SP does a lousy job at doubleshots. Kerning issues, thin caps, font quality,... and you would have thought they could do better in their core business.

i'm going to send a email to them again to try my luck, =DDD

Whats the price of a keycap puller, preferably filco, if it were to be sold in msia?

RM20 SRP IIRC

hey i spotted this, abs though, http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/104-KBC-ABS-Cle...=item4d0058100d

His name is feng in GH.

i kinda like the clear and half clear, but i dunno differentiate all the ABS PBT double shot stuff

Which "clear and half clear"?
The seller will say if it is ABS or PBT. If not, the price will tell(PBT normally at least double/triple the price of ABS).
Double shot can be identified by a very high contrast and the back of the keycap aways having some patterns of the 2 colors.

the one in the ebay link, ABS right? what difference noticable between pbt and abs?

The transparent one is ABS.

ABS and PBT doesn't having much different on visual. Their different lies on the touch feel and durability.

That looks pretty nice. Too bad my keyboard is not backlit.

heh, mine is ducky shine white, think it will look awesome with clear or semi clear

Try this, not too sure if BL will be visible though.

reminds me of marshmallows

BTW, anyone feel that "MKC" is scary shiat(in a good way)?

1stly they are the 1st one who come out with affordable metal(Zinc) keycaps, but the finish isn't too impressive. They then expand their range to acrylic wrist rest. Next, they come out with "SS7G"-fying wrist rest for Filco 104 & 87, but isn't perfect fit(got some gaps). Next they popped out with the acrylic case for Filco and also CNC anodised aluminium keycaps. After all this, they now go into refinening stage which refine their old flawed products such as Zinc keycap and SS7G wrist rest(heard that now it fit even better).

Their speed and persistent in improving their products and ranges are really impressive....
