@Manofinterests I don’t recall my C64 to be that shiny, but then again this set doesn’t emulate a C64 (and I sold that computer so long ago, my memory might be failing me).
Anyway, I’m totally fine with others liking it. As long as no one attempts to start an ASMR trend by tapping on those with their nails (or electric razor) in their pre-show!
In any case, at least for the purpose of owning at least one (cute) KAM set, I might still end up buying it.
Hopefully I would be proven wrong about the feel of the keys, and I wouldn’t feel the need to pull the microfiber cloth after every key press.
It’s definitely not uninteresting! I’ll still try to get samples with a matte finish tho
In my opinion, that’d fit the aesthetic of the ZX Spectrum better
FWIW, a shiny KAM Wraith set would be a ‘must buy’ for me. I mean, who doesn’t want shiny things!
At least one set anyway.
Not sure what the typing experience would feel like.
That KAM profile is something I really want to try in any event.
Just please GOD don’t open a buy until fall! I just sunk all my disposable income into GMK Dots, GMK Oblivion, and Novelkeys NK65.
OK, I’ve given this a lot of thought. I am a Sinclair enthusiast and that’s why I’m attracted to KAM Wraith in the first place. The rubber key mat used in the orignal ZX Spectrums was not glossy, so the glossy finish gave me pause. The more I think about whether matt would be better the more I’m convinced that the gloss finish would actually be the better choice. My beloved Speccy is an oddball machine. Even by the standard of the day it stood out, partly because of its diminutive size, but also the distinctive (through absolutely rubbish) flat rubber keys. When I visualise KAM Wraith in matt it looks a little bit… ordinary. The high shine gloss makes it really distinctive. It may not look the same as the original but it makes it different, just like its inspiration. I vote for the full gloss shine
