please do, you will make so much profit as there are a lot of people looking for someone to come up with an ISO PBT set!
p.s. where can i see the black, engraved iso set?
thanks

How about shipping a couple extra keys and a key cap puller?
Norwegian/Danish customers could swap Æ and Ø themselves.
I know that there is at least one rubber dome keyboard that was made this way.

Funny coincidence that I actually have old spare Steelseries Qck. Thanks for the tip.
Could it have been that I bought this board from you in the Assembly? Got the S/N 2 one.

You guys are extremely lucky. Hence the mix of white and brown Cherry MX switches will never again be available to anyone else.........that just sux.
I couldn't care less about the keys only need to get the keyboard with the 2 Cherry variants.
I guess I'll have to wait till someone gets sick of theirs to sell it on here.

At current theres not as many resellers for the keycap sets as there are for the keyboards. At the moment the production volumes for keycap sets are low as is the consumer awereness. The keycap sets are and will be available at least from:
Finland: Jimms.fi , Verkkokauppa.com
Sweden: MaxFPS.se
Maybe also from 1 reseller in both Norway and Denmark.

It would need 5 or more caps to make it proper. At current the production volumes are very low so maybe a bit later.

The G2PRO tenkeyless models will range from about 119 to 159 euros depending on what kind of keycaps are on the unit.
The Assembly special edition was priced at 179 because of special very limited production batch, rare (mixed)switch type, white engraved ISO PBT caps and the expensive bill from TNT express airfreight

Yes, we decided to produce some blank ISO PBT 105pcs sets. These sets will be suitable for most brand cherry keyboards as we'll make the Numlck, CapsLck and ScrLck caps without small transparent piece for led light (which would be normally done for Ducky keyboards).
We will produce blank ISO PBT 105pcs sets in black and white. Estimate for availability in stores is about 3 weeks to 1 month.
These will be available at least at a Finnish resellers called Jimms and Verkkokauppa. Their sites are
http://www.jimms.fi and
http://www.verkkokauppa.com. Both of them do international shipping.

You are just trying to make me broke, aren't ya?
Two of the three Swedish stores you mentioned earlier claims they have no info indicating that they will begin to sell these caps. Hopefully they are wrong.

Well i personally dont know how interested the mentioned Swedish stores are on low'ish volume accessorys. Im sure that MaxFPS in Sweden will want to carry these blank PBT keycap sets.
For now i only mentioned the Finnish ones as im 100% sure on them.

Dont have exact dates. This is a small production run so factory will run when they have a small available slot. Also with air freight available date of departure + hubs/arrival can have variations worth days. The total estimate is a month. If sun shines for us it will be faster
The PBT caps id say is "standard" thickness. Not super thick and not super thin. Its same thickness as it would be on ABS caps since its the same standard mould.
Heres a pic from bottom:

Those are the two that have been released.
I am waiting for the white ones to be released as well before I order. Hopefully we might have word on when/if blanks will also be released and I can perhaps get those as well.

ah, I see
would you happen to know if they have finnish text / layout on them? they also have the ducky led windows, i think they're meant to be replacement sets for finnish ducky boards.
window-less, blank sets it is.

I thought Finnish was the same layout as Swedish. If so, then yes. I think someone mentioned a couple of addon keys earlier in this thread that ducky might look into. These are Swedish for now it seems.

To give anyone interested some updated info on PBT caps:
Yes, we will release the white PBT ISO sets (engraved and also with laser etched print). I dont have a date yet as currently the factory is swamped with new projects. Some projects extremely interesting

...but the caps will be made eventually.
The BLANK ISO PBT sets will come FIRST. Both BLACK and WHITE sets. Bad news is that factory is swamped with new keyboard releases so they will be made around/after mid-september. So they will arrive to Nordics on 3rd or 4th week of september. There will be only 100 black and 100 white sets available at this time. These sets will suit most Cherry keyboards as they wont have small transparent parts on Caps, ScrLck or Numlck.
There will be G2PRO tenkeyless keyboards available with WHITE ISO PBT and Nordic legends within september though(engraved and also with laser.e.print) as these will arrive at same time with the BLANK sets.
