want the teal space and arrows from this set; i hope these ali sellers make smaller sets. sometimes the mods on a given clone are all i need
agreed, i wish they’d do BoW or WoB; epbt WoB is underwhelming. and i loved the OEM caps on my Durgod K310 so I’m sure their Cherry sets should be as good if not better quality.
budget serika but only with katakana (?) alphas. i want that too, but i’d only harvest the mods, heh.
the wob set i have sounds really thin compared to leopold pbt. they have a high pitched clinking sound when it’s in a pile; idk. i’m a mac user as well. affordable sets with Cmd or Opt seem to be impossible for now bc it always seems to be a low priority (or even making more neutral mods like Code, Meta, or the diamond symbol.) either we shell out for them, or get terrible add-on keys in white, gray or black that don’t even color match (and or are side print only.)
yeah i’m glad someone else relates! even having “win” I am fine with, someone in a discord once told me to just think of it as an affirmation instead of an operating system, but from a design perspective i just feel like the windows logo on keysets feels so dated on otherwise super clean layouts and colorways.
bruh…thats really pushing the lemonade outta lemons angle re: "win"ning LMAO. gmk win key is about as “retro” as i can go; it’s better when the win logo is smaller and off-center.
The legends look like they could easily become inconsistent or crooked due to QC issues. I’ve seen that happen when the cheaper AliExpress sets try to push their limits. Surface texture probably won’t be like GMK or ePBT either.
I’m sure it would be okay for a beater build, put it on a white XD87 or something. But I suspect there may be better ways to use $40+ on keycaps.
Also, it looks like Drop is working on expanding their color-way offerings. kunalkumar is polling the community to see what they’d like to see in the future. Looks like black-on-black might be a possibility as well as RGB and cyan mod kits, yay!
I swear I’m not trying to shill for Drop LOL, but it seems like there’s some interest in this topic.
lol, those baggies. I remember getting extras of Godspeed MT3 and each cap came in a baggie. I had like 60 baggies. I kept them all and I do, in fact, use them to store springs!
I’m sure the smoothness of these was mentioned on this thread, but holy hell are they slick. I got a set of the blue accents to go with a ePBT Grayscale set and noticed how much smoother than ePBT they were (which I find to be really silky to the touch). Honestly, I’m not sure if I could type on a full set. The Dye-sub is great though and the color is vibrant so no complaints in those departments.
I’ve been using the set for a couple of weeks now and I actually prefer the smoothness to that of an ePBT keyset. They provide enough grip for my fingers.
The surface texture of these keycaps is similar to the teal / blue accent keys I posted earlier,
As others have said, although there is smoothness like some ePBT sets, it’s actually smoother, and may be too smooth.
I haven’t decided if I’m going to mount these on anything. The Artifact Bloom “Vintage” set is likely to be similar, and may even be from the same manufacturer as HK Gaming.
