same here, i noticed my WASD keys are kinda dis-coloured...other keys are still ok...
but then i was thinking to changing keycaps, thus my choice of getting rosewill (after i couldnt get my hand on ducky TKL brown switch with white LED)...
now the problem is looking for the keycaps...read from here PBT is more durable, so i'm looking at that...
went to Heavyarms last saturday, but the keycap puller is sold out...

once i get the keycap puller some time this week (hopefully) i might get the ducky side print PBT from heavyarms, or order from Taobao through agent from LYN...

Do remember that PBT keycaps has a totally different feel to it. I'll describe it as a sandy feel. Some may like it, some may not. Make sure you test before buying just to be safe.
Also you can borrow the keypuller if you know anyone of us staying nearby you. I don't mind lending mine out for a day or two

I thought buying a set of ducky pbt will come along with a keycap puller.

Or you could just make a DIY keycap puller from paperclips, works fine as well.

Paper clips are no joke bending, especially if you don't have a plyer..

brows.gif Try your self one month. Nah... I think my keycaps still intact as I seldom use my keyboard.
Well, sometime DiY are the best method. BTW, anyone sell keycap puller locally? Ducky included are, sweat.gif .I don't think they will stand for very long.
laugh.gif Just sharing. Haha...

I recall seeing Heavy selling, but it's for 25 bucks..

Why not wait for the bulk then order it together with a set of keycaps!

Oh, okay... Just wait for the bulk then. Still no news for the bulk.
Got link of them? Why so many TKL keycaps than full size keyboard. Is mech kb lover prefer TKL over full size?
*
TKL is generally loved by most enthusiast. Go try one, you won't turn back (unless of course, you're a really heavy user of the numpad)

Then what cap matches the theme and lighting, or I should go with white LED  unsure.gif
*
Thick PBT caps and a white LED. Like Jason suggested, the light won't be able to shine through the keycaps and will give a nice back glow.

Then perhaps for a couple of keys, you could have it modified to your liking,

I think modifiers must be different than the 37 keys.

Camo cases really remind me of Filcos.

Orange LED, try heavyarm or directly order from Cyntrix

Hi guys, what do y'all think about the new Logitech G710+?

Does it worth buying?

I hear that the backlights failure rate is quite high.

Yeah, read the reviews, 6 out of 10 owners complained about the LEDs died in weeks/months.
But the most important thing...is it customizable?
*
The most bottom row of the keyboard is of different size compared to standard keycaps. It is indeed customizable, just effort to find keycaps that fit is a lot harder.

You'll also need to spend more. Look at Tsangan Kits.

Hi

I'm looking for a brown switch keyboard with PBT key caps and no back light / led. Tried garage sales without any luck and I can't read Chinese on taobao.

I was hoping someone can point me to the right direction as to where I can purchase a mechanical keyboard that matches my criteria.

Thanks!

Go to heavyarm in SS15 or just google Heavyarm lowyat keyboard.
