PBT mechanical keyboard backlight with nordic layout

[Grogak]

Hi.

Just wanted to ask, if anyone know, if its possible to get a keyboard like that ?

Ive got a ducky atm with PBT keycaps, and im pretty happy with it. But would like to try a new one, with backlight, if that was possible ? With Brown MX keys

I assume you mean PBT caps, right? Afraid not. Backlit caps are always ABS, unless Deck really has mastered PBT ones.

Yea, thats what i ment

Thats a shame. I did have a mechanical keyboard with abs keycaps once, but i didnt really like the feel, and that they got shiny after some use sadly

They always do. Backlit ones have to be quite thin, too. It's a big sacrifice on cap quality.

Deck / TG3 keycaps are already PBT. I don't think you can count the ABS skirt as it's not a surface you type on.

Also not necessarily correct. Other than Deck keycaps, there are others that are thicker. This mionix set I have here aren't that thin, for example.

What I recommend is imsto PBT. For whatever reason, the white blend that he uses lets a lot of light through and it's diffused. It's enough to clearly see the backlight quite well, but you can also read the legend. I really like the effect, as it diffuses a lot of the light and isn't as much as a "spot" as most backlit keycaps are.

It all depends on what you want out of your backlit keycaps, but they are PBT, thick, you can read the legend, and they let a lot of light through. What more could you ask for?

Cool, have you got pictures of your Imstos lit up in the dark, Dorkvader?

My own backlit board, a Ducky Shine 3, came with PBT caps which also transmit a lot of light. But they're blanks. I really must try dyesubs on it, when I actually get some that are MX. That'll be Matteo's DSA Granite set…

So after looking around for a while, i found the Deck keyboards. Those look like the ones i want ! But dont they do them with a nordic layout ?
