IKBC Fullsize CNC Aluminum RGB Mechanical Keyboard

Nov 13, 2016

The keycaps look exactly like the ABS Double Shots on my Pok3r RGB with the legends on the numrow side/side.
The PBT translucent keycaps I've seen from Vortex have always had the numrow legends stacked one on top of the other.
If it didn't say these were PBT, I'd swear they are ABS keycaps in the pictures. Does Vortex make PBT translucents with side/side legends on the numrow?

CotayAs far as my research goes, recent product reviews of the iKBC F108 keyboards came with the same PBT doubleshot shine through key caps as shown in this one. The iKBC F108 keyboard is essentially the plastic variant of this keyboard. The Pok3r key caps must have been outdated.
I think you have to give props to Vortex and iKBC because I think they are the only manufacturer that actually make good PBT Doubleshot Shine Through key caps at the moment. When it comes to honoring what the product page states, I don't think they would break promises since they definitely already have the technology. I have a few links to reviews(Note:they are in Chinese, so just look at the pics):
