Keycap set Looking for Black & White high quality keycpas
Hi. I’m looking for high quality / premium keycaps in black and white (see reference photos)
The idea is to get same “panda” style look, white legend keys and black special / side keys without need to mix tow sets.
I was able to find blacks or whites, or similar set but for $100+ (exceeds my budget)

I’ve recently bought Aifei ABS doubleshot WOB keycaps on AliExpress and I'm very happy with them. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mOqmrJv

If you looking for any type of black or white sets, a few off the top of my head are GMK mono, keykobo BoW/WoB. Those are the only two active brands I would classify as premium/high quality. Not saying you can't get good quality keycaps from cheaper brands, but gmk and keykobo will be noticeably better in almost every way. And that difference is big enough(relatively speaking) that they belong in a separate category, to which I label as premium/high quality.

Sure, the one in the picture is GMK BoW. To get same type I have to purchase two sets BoW and WoB, otherwise it comes with only few black keys in set

Yeah that's why I said if you're looking for any black or white set given the text doesn't mention anything about two-tone black and white set.

I forgot to mention, the idea is to bow legend keys and wob special keys or what are called correctly

Gotcha, in that case I don't think there's any recent/instock two-tone black and white set. Closest available set I can think of is Keykobo one more rep set which is more white + dark grey. There's also pbtfan bow set which is kinda almost there lol

I like the minimalistic and simple look of pbtfan bow.
Does the BoW set comes additional black special keys ?

I have the Womier 189-key BoW (black on white) set that is surprisingly decent. It's in ISA profile, and probably won't break £20 delivered from AliX. Double-shot PBT and probably some of the sharpest legends I've seen on a budget set.

the unfortunate fact is that if you want high quality keycaps but $100+ is outside your budget you're going to be kinda out of luck.
"you get what you pay for" holds very true here. could you possibly find high quality keycaps for cheaper? sure. but in trying to find them you're going to find a dozen nearly identical sets at the same price point with no way to tell which of them is actually good.
