Those look super nice — too bad the clear and smoke printed sets are sold out now. Added to the table!

Yeah, that photo on reddit of the smokey one with legends got me pretty excited. I hope they restock that option soon.

I stumbled across a possible candidate for the knockoffs/shady brands category. Geez.

They offer custom dye sub sets with an MOQ of 1 for $59!

If true that’s incredibly cool.

Finally an option that isn’t ABS/OEM from WASD/MAXKEYS.

Yeah, I’d say shady… Just looked at a set of modifiers. They supposedly sold 5 of them in the last 18 hrs, and had over 200 people viewing the page… But, never mind that it was a GB that ended last October.

Anytime you see these “X sold in last XX hrs” or “XXX people viewing this page right now” you’re into the shady area…most of those things are just some bits of javascript that generate random numbers to make the customer think there is pressure. Basically playing on the FOMO.

Plus, I looked at their Red Samurai set, and yikes, some of the legends on those keys are all over the place…just bad looking.

Do you have the updated link for the seller? I think it’s not working anymore. Thanks man!

This has been mentioned once previously in this thread, there is a brand of affordable keycaps called Xiami.

According to a recent Youtube video, they are pretty good-sounding:

Apparently, they are $20 - 30 on Taobao, if you can navigate that website.

I knew I should’ve bought some sets when I posted them here. They seemingly blew up as of recent! All sold out

Very interesting, especially if you are like me, typing on a strange layout :slight_smile:

I’m going to contact them to see if it is possible to order just alphas and if they do also ISO caps :slight_smile:

Do you have a link to this store? on tao.

The person moved off the marketplace to taobao now

How about Tai Hao? To their credit they do not blatantly knock off other companies’ colorways.

I could be wrong, but I believe they are OEM profile, which is slightly different from Cherry

Whoops! You’re right. My headcanon is Tai Hao cubic = “tall cherry.”
