Where can I find a decent ISO PBT keyset?

Hello guys. I am using a cheap Tai Hao doubleshot ABS set on my Turtle Beach keyboard. I don't hate it... I like the sound of thin ABS over Cherry Blues but I don't love it either... these ABS keycaps feel a bit "cheap" and the set is all white with black legends so it's a tad boring to look at.

Is there any place where I can find a decent PBT set that fits this board? The major problem I see here is that the keyboard is in ISO/UK layout (big ass enter key etc..) and there seems to be a really small selection of keysets for anything that isn't ANSI.

I know most SP keyset group-buys offer child packs with the ISO caps but those only appear once in a blue moon and they're way too expensive for my wallet right now. I just want something of decent quality for a fair price (can't be blanks).

No blanks ? well...

Caseking has this thick PTB keyset by Ducky with laser-engraved legends, but it is ISO-DE : https://www.caseking.de/ducky-pbt-keyca ... c-036.html

overclockers.co.uk used to sell an ISO-UK version but it's not on their site anymore.

A little sharp on the edge but they are very good caps

Don't think their quality justifies the price, they're thin and feel sticky.

I have that exact Ducky set but in ANSI. I was looking for something different right now.
It's a nice quality thick PBT keyset though.

I own a Bumble Bee set (ANSI, got it from Massdrop) and while I like it the keycaps are a little bit on the thin side... and the coating is a little annoying aswell (I removed the anti-bacterial coating on mine). But besides the Bumble Bee colorway the only other I like out of these is the Miami set, and that one is apparently out of stock right now.

And £38.00 is about €54 euros... yeah, no. It's not worth that price. My Bumble Bee set was cheaper on Massdrop.
My Ducky thick PBT set was a little cheaper and it's thick PBT. The caps on Tai Hao's PBT sets are uneven in thickness and feel cheaper overall.

Make a thread in marketplace, someone should be able to sell you a set of lasered thick pbt in ISO DE pretty cheap. If you don't care about legends and just want that thick pbt awesomesauce, they're the best bang / buck. I bought a NIB g80-3000something with lasered thick pbt in ISO DE for 35 eur from reddit.
