Just bought my first ever mechanical keyboard, a second hand Poker V2. thumbup.gif

There's some yellowing on the engraved letters, is it safe to soak them into orthodontic cleaning tablet solutions to clean them?

Congrats but first things first, is it the pbt version? If so, you're gonna have a hard time removing them since the legends are infilled.  sweat.gif mine are yellowing too but they're thick pbt so there's that.

Thick PBT, I've tried hours ago, yellowing still remains. cry.gif

Time to invest on new keycap sets. I'm considering doubleshot ABS keycaps sold at Heavy-Arm, any thoughts?

It's either you go all in and invest on good end game caps once and for all, or if you just want something which is not yellow, then you can go ahead and buy some cheap caps.

I bought one cap similar to those selling at heavy-arms, they aren't that thick, some of the caps are actually very tight, make me think twice when I wana pop them out, and worse of all, some of the caps aren't aligned in the center, you can see that after you pop them in, they are slightly to the left or right.

Good thing about them is that the colors are nice and it's cheap. Not sure whether it's problem with my batch or all of it also like that. >.<

If it's thick pbt, you might want to continue using them instead of getting the tai-hao thin double shot abs available at heavy-arms.

I see, good point. Where is a good place to shop for legit PBT keycaps? Recommend me please. I've only recently found out about Massdrop, choices are very limited.

I just replaced my keycaps today. Same color as yours. More or less the same. whistling.gif

When I do group buy for 199RMB which translate about RM130-140 incl shipping.

But this price on md  shakehead.gif

Only if it drops to the lowest tier then it's worth it. Also translates to RM130-RM140 as well. Including shipping.

Not saying that I'm going to buy from MS, already awaiting GB from another LYN member for the same set. Just putting the link down for those interested in buying from MS.
