Official nominees:

EnjoyPBT
These are thick PBT dyesubs in Cherry profile with many colour and printing options. What more can you ask for in the world of PBT keycaps?

GMK Carbon
Tob3ry's popular Carbon set is back. The popular colourway became available in Cherry profile for the first time.
Thick doubleshot keycaps in a highly sought after colour scheme made in Germany? This was a good recipe for a successful group buy.

Image

Nantucket Selectric
Skullydazed put a nautical spin on his Modern Selectric set that was insired by the IBM selectric family of typewriters with this set of keycaps. Its different colours attracted a new audience, but many buyers of the original set came back for seconds.

Image

Skidata+
Karura worked closely together with GMK to make this set's quality unbeatable. His modifications included reformulated plastics for increased colour accuracy and minimized light bleed. When combined with wide layout compatibility and colourful accents, one arrives at the set shown below:

Realforce/HHKB stock keycaps
Many consider bone stock Topre keycaps to be the best, even when compared with aftermarket alternatives. Regardless, they're nice PBT caps that blow most stock sets out of the water.

The GMK Carbon almost tempted me to buy a keycap set for the first time in a long time.

Yes, I am not into that stuff at all, but I would really love to have a set of those in case I ever get one of XMIT's HE keyboards.

EnjoyPBT look great but I was disappointed when I tried them out in person. Thinner than expected and the plastic feels a bit too hard which made me worry that they'd be brittle. Original Cherry dyesubs or bust! :evil:
