Yet another keycap review in case anyone is interested.
This my quick and amateur review of the Gekucap black and purple pbt moa keycap set.
I got it from amazon at:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DN1DF9YZ
It’s MOA profile, so flat, not curved, and the keys have a more rounded top than usual square keys.
They’re actually pleasantly solid and have a deeper sound than the abs ones they’re immediately replacing.
The colors are solid and even,keys have a fair amount of texture, the letering is all well done and large.
Some pictures. Keep in mind that my camera is going to majorly up the contrast and hue as I’m just doing auto mode, not tuning anything. The colors are a gray and muted purple. Quite understated/calm.
Personally, I really really like the colors and appearance of this keycap set. The bubbley shape isn’t Professional looking, really, but the cap set doesn’t look like it should be on a 13yr old’s desk, like many keycaps. I’m still undecided on the round tops, seems my typing isn’t quite as solid on the key as with a square-r capset, and I seem to be hitting neighboring keys a slight bit more. I had to correct my letters a couple of times just in this paragraph. Of course, I may well have done the same with a square-r keycap set, not sure, but I don’t Feel as solid on the rounder keys. It’s not a large difference though and may just require some acclimation, which I intend to give it. Lastly, the MOA profile curve (or complete lack thereof). I really don’t know about that yet, in short. I definitely feel the difference, but as I tend to type in short bursts unless I’m writing something like this or some of my work, my writing tends to be more thought/research, then a paragraph or two, then back to thought or research. Not sure how much I Need the curve. There’s definitely a different feel, I’m just not sure if it’s better or worse or just plain different.
What else to say? Oh, the capset did include the sun and the skull, as well as maybe a half dozen other…non-character keycaps. Whether I keep this capset on or not, These keys alone are worth the price to me, as being equal-height caps, I can use them in any row, this makes these handy for remapped keys for del/insert/home/end/pgup/pgdn.
Oh, and yes I’ve noticed I put the numpad - on wrong. Oops, fixed. Lol aaand the " was swapped with : fixed too…
