Hey there,

Maybe this is interessting for some of you, I asked WASD Keyboards if the will add PBT keycaps to their assortment.
Today I got a (really quick) reply:
... We do not have any plans for PBT keys at the moment. V2 is expected to be available sometime in June. Thank you.

Dammit :(

Does anyone have an idea where I can get Thick PBT Keycaps with ISO Layout?

No wayyyyyyy... well, when they finally do have plans, I hope they make them as customizable as their ABS Keycap line.

I hope too but they seem really clear on that :/
All my caps get so shiny after a while...

I think I remember reading about this a few months ago on Geekhack. They had a supplier who was able to provide material and/or machinery at a price to make the keycaps affordable, but it wasn't suitable for making keycaps, and WASD couldn't find anyone else to supply them at a reasonable price.

Hello

If you find ISO caps in PBT please let me know.

Thanks.

Ducky Nordic is active on the forum. He's Ducky's distributor from Finland. The good news is that he often has thick PBT cap sets, in ISO no less, and likes to talk about what's in the pipeline. He answers questions pretty regularly in this thread:

The bad news is the shipping:
combined orders with friends are highly encouraged as the shipping costs won't go up much when stuff added. For 1 keyboard the cost is that 27 euros and for 2 keyboards 30 euros. For one keycap set the costs is the same 27 euros.
You could ask him about options in the UK though. He's in the know.
