What does PBT mean? A different type of keycaps? What is the standard keycaps on a RK9000 called?

That day on PCfair, i saw a rosewill keyboard with white frame and black blank keycaps, Robotica says that is their own keyboard, anyone knows what keycaps he use? It does feel very nice, and also that white frame is custom made or is ori?

Post yours. Too many result. Hehe... Kinda sexy thing to own too.

the rosewill keyboard is using ducky side printed pbt keycaps ..

DHL is well trusted reputable international company.
we use it to ship our high end products to overseas,
it provide insurance service as well, unlike Poslaju,
they don't dare to insure their shippings,
if need insurance, need to get to the state's head post office,
that is far, but every time we use it, the buyer pay the cost,
it is so expensive

Kaysa anymore bulk coming from you?

That's my personal keyboard.

RK9000I + Ducky PBT Side Print. It does not fade and does not turn shinny.

what does it mean 87 pbt white/gray being carved

carved? blank?

The one you saw is the agent, or we call it 3rd party. They send your shipment to a DHL service point and it will transport from there. For 3rd parties, best to do your own wrapping as they are not very well versed with the procedures. Alternatively, for cost checking, call their CS for a rough estimation for transit time and price for cash drop off

Engraved

thanks, btw gonna ask again since no one reply yet, will white pbt turn yellowish or creamy overtime?

ok...what about the white frame? custom made or available to purchase?

PBT = Polybutylene terephthalate (aka another type of plastic )

another type of material being used to make key caps.

the key caps we usually know are made of ABS, which is cheaper.

PBT and ABS compared:
- PBT is much more durable
- PBT has higher heat resistance
- PBT key cap surface texture do not wear off easily
- PBT is more expensive...

I don't own one lol, just saying I prefer to leave my keyboard as basic as it could.

without any media controls or whatsoever

so a dedicated media controller is my solution if I'm needing those controls.

pbt has different texture than ABS(stock) keycaps. pbt is usually more expensive. pbt doesnt go shiny, and dyesub pbt usually doesnt lose their texture, and the letters stay on for quite long, compare to abs doubleshots. ABS doubleshots will turn shiny after some time.

but that place seems far away from my house. have to ask first. : /


it means pbt and engraved. i usually dont like engraved keycaps, dont like keycaps got holes one.

they will turn yellowish, if you put under the sun, or you're a smoker. really depends on how you treat it, really. : )

not at the moment, no,
future not sure yet

oh no, guess white is out of the question. grey or pink i guess.

or black.

there are blue one, exactly like mine, black letters with red hangul legends.

blue...

got link?, gosh so hard to find grey/pink blank pbt in taobao when u dunno how to read chinese :S
