I m looking for a board with 87 keys, PBT Dyesub Thick Keycaps......
how difficult is that?

Actually if you are not changing the keycaps, the board is well worth the money. I don't know what is the price of 87 PBT on Taobao, I suspect around RM 100 landed?

The board itself is only RM 300 with PBT cap

Soldering and repairing mechanical stuffs is completely out of my Element.

Thanks for the information, I will consult you again when you announce the 87 thick pbt dyesub boards,
if there is any

Lots of taobao stuff eh. Don't wanna be a gossiper but I think you can earn a lot of money by bringing in cheap taobao stuffz.

99% of the double shots in the market is made of ABS, the 1% (or less) is probably DECK's PBT double shot or custom made. I heard that due to the characteristics of PBT made it difficult to mold into double shot = higher cost.

However, I wouldn't compare ABS double shot with plain PBT since one must understand that key cap durability is not equal to printing durability.

PBT
- High heat resistant up to 150c
- Resistant to solvents
- Mechanically Strong
- Surface texture does not wear out as fast
- Expensive

ABS
- low heat resistant = MELT
- low resistant to solvents = MELT
- surface texture wear out faster (shinny)
- CHEAP
- Light Weight

Double shot is just a type of printing method, and yes, it will last as long as you don't put a hole at your key cap.

for PBT, dyesub would be the best printing method.

not sure if this will be sales related or not, just pm me the model you want and i'll quote you the things later, you'll be mostly paying for the keyboard alone and i'll be absorbing the international shipping fee. just a community service.

P/S : Topre and leopold only

i don't think they will host another nyan keycap. but you will have to be patient and wait for geekhack for another round if you wanted it.

i stopped bringing in leopold for quite sometimes due to increase competitor. but if individual still wants them, i can still get for them via personal group buy or something like that because 2~3 people sharing the shipping and i will be able to cover shipping cost myself without having to charge the international shipping charge to people that wanted to buy the keyboard.

tkl + blue switch + standard keycaps + non-backlight

any choices?
