Sexy Mechanical Keyboard Thread

Jumping onto this Massdrop!

These are not your average backlit capable keycaps, these are PBT!!!

I have been using a mixture of ABS backlit and PBT non-backlit keycaps on my Ducky Year of the Snake, and it's embarassing. I love the feeling of PBT keycaps, and now you can get them backlit for only $30 (+tax&ship)!

Welp, looks like I'll finally be grabbing some aftermaket keycaps for my Ryos MK Pro.

Das Keyboards on sale, refurb.... $119

http://computers.woot.com/offers/das-keyboard-4-professional-ultimate-1?ref=gh_cp_3_d_ph

amazon bought Woot several years ago, and this is where they clear out their inventory. Occasional SNAFU where they run out and sell more than they have (stupid airlines), and slow-as-hell shipping, but mostly good products, and decent customer service... almost up to @sneekypeet level

Right lads, Prepare for some porn!

I may just trade out my Ducky Shine III for one of these beasts.

DanishDevil · May 2, 2015

Here's my Ducky Year of the Snake with my new double-shot PBT keycaps from MassDrop! Sorry for the cell phone pic, if there's more interest, I can take some with the SLR. They didn't come with the top right 4 shortcut keys (didn't expect them to) nor a properly sized caps lock (this was a little shocking to me), so I had to use the short shift key upsize-down in its place. All other keys are working!

I started out with a Ducky Year of the Tiger with etched but not colored PBT keycaps and I have to say that I miss those caps the most. They had the most texture (read: grit) on the caps. These double-shot MassDrop caps feel smoother, almost closer to ABS than PBT, but I can tell that they are more firm and shouldn't shine after extended use. Overall I'm happy for what I paid.

Compgeke · May 2, 2015

If you like textured try out a Type Heaven some day, they're like 800 grit sandpaper.

$30 for those caps isn't bad though, I'm tempted to grab a set of blue on white but I'd probably never use them.

I am wondering.... The thread is called "sexy", but many pics, and specially the last one (hey Danishdevil : ) ! aren't sexy at all, or at least not sexier that any other arbitrary object...!
There are sexy keyboards AND there are sexy ways of making pics, but a frontal pic of a square and boring and not so clean keyboard, pluieassssssssssse !!!!

If you don't think a full brushed aluminum cased limited edition mechanical keyboard with backlit PBT keycaps is sexy, then this thread isn't for you...

I can manage to take a sexier picture of it though.

Send it back ASAP, key wear is terrible, mine the key went shiny which is expected to some degree but they went all weiredly bumpy looking and be careful taking the caps of as if it's don't slightly wrong the plastic shatters.

How ever i hope you don't have any issue's with it, there warranty still only a year ?.

Solaris17 · Sep 5, 2015

im bias I love purple and pink backlights. As a user that had blue for years its a really nice change and its very easy on the eyes at night.

and to be honest it looks great.

1 year warranty, so I gonna use it for one year will see how it works out, but so far I like it.

This goes for any mech keyboard, when cleaning it don't try blowing dust out, better to take the key caps off and using a cap remover and which it being a BW better of with the metal key cap remover due to the keys being really close to each other as the plastic key cap remover will push the next to it key..
