Product Description
If you’re into programming and computers, you might be familiar with ASCII, also known as the American Standard Code for Information Interchange. These keycaps pay tribute to the encoding system with small codes for the sublegends Read More
I got lucky and i don't have any printing errors which happens with Dye. A great set of keycaps for anyone looking for SA keycaps in a classic colourstyle + font without spending a stupid amount of cash for plastic.
I don't usually write reviews, but I thought i owe this one to the keyboard community.
It will be a short review and later ill add some photos.
First of all, the most obvious fault of this set is that the number 1 key is printed
90 degree to the side. What I mean by that, is that when you put the cap on the stem
when 1 is facing you properly you get grooves of the sculpting of the cap facing the wrong way.
The die sublimation is done good and looks really nice. The characters are centered and the font is nice.
Colors are also really nice.
The spacebars are warped, some really badly. And no I am not going to use any such techniques to
make them straight, because I paid the money to get it straight out of the shop. And no amount of such techniques
will make it straight enough anyway.
Almost all of the bottom row keys are wobbly and will fall after a couple of strong presses. This is totally
UNACCEPTABLE!. I tried those caps on different stems all over the keyboard to make sure it's not bad stem switches.
I switched the caps with the original caps of the QFR (it was a dirt cheap mech keyboard at the time) to compare and they sit so good... you can tell just by putting the cap on the stem. I mean the tolerances of this set are GARBAGE!
It's not that the rest of the caps sit well on the stems they are just barely ok.
Considering this set is only 65$ I could slide most of my criticism, but the wobbly keys make this a bad
purchase. All in all QC is bad, and I have a strong suspicion KPrepublic used massdrop to drop(literally) their
bad/returned sets on us, the customers.
I found the caps thinner than I expected and the inner spacebar stems were not quite right (I had issues using this set with my Leopold FC200R), but other than that it is pretty decent with a good variety of caps. Not sure if this counts as a negative, but Slack changed their logo the day after my set was delivered. I had no intention of using that cap, but it was an instant anachronism which I found funny.
The legends, thickness, and various key caps included are all decent, but the spacebar suffers from a slight bend (I'm using the orange one and I haven't checked the others). It's annoying but not a complete deal-breaker. All things considered (cap selection, price point, and quality), it is a decent set.
