I wish though that alphas and modifiers were part of a set base kit where support for a large number of keyboards were standard. It makes it overall easier so that I don't have to continuously check my keyboards for each capset.
Great, classic colorway.
A couple of things worth noting:
Signature Plastics packaging is not great. Everything comes in plastic bags rather than trays.
Unlike the Biip 2048 Keycap set, which came perfect, a lot of the carbon keycaps were chipped on the bottom or had markings on the face of the key. I ultimately let this go, but it may bother some people. The chipping was not a big issue for me because you cannot see most of it given the height of the keycaps.
All in all, a good set. I am happy with the items I got and it looks good on my keyboard. However, I decided against getting the complete set given the key chipping and markings issue.
I picked up the alphas and ISO kit, because conveniently, the alphas have the same body color as SA Godspeed's Solar alphas, which have been out of stock forever. And the mod body color is the same as SA Oblivion, which didn't have an ISO kit available this round. Guess what? You can just use the one from Carbon, and it will blend right in!
These shipped in bags, which I expected, and prefer - no extra packing waste. Nothing was scuffed or damaged in any way.
I was gambling that the grey and orange would match the grey and orange of https://drop.com/buy/domikey-sa-doubleshot-abs-orange-dolch-set?searchId=16ae24d8e6a94e25150600adef160383 (DOMIKEY ABS Doubleshot SA Orange Dolch Set), but it does not. The grey is colder and slightly darker, the orange is warmer. The text on the orange ones is grey, not black.
The creams are a delight, the font is frankly better especially on the mods (the U's are wider for one) and the edges seem more rounded, probably because the molds are older.
As my current daily driver is a NORDE board a full review will have to wait. I'm still tempted to do a hybrid though: numbers, mods and ISO 1Us as Orange Dolch, alphas as Carbon creams.
Yo, @Drop, any chance to get a NORDE-kit for this set?
Ordered Dual Alphas and Dual Mods, colors are great, legends are crisp, and the sound these caps make on clicky switches is incredible. Recommend picking up before they run out.
The colors are my favorite part of these keycaps, personal preference of course. They also sound great. I do wish they weren't so shiny and slippery. All in all I would definitely recommend.
I have wanted these caps for ages, very glad I was able to snag them this time.
They came in bags, which isn't surprising for Signature Plastic caps. The caps themselves look amazing in person. The beige look of the dual-alphas paired with the orange and grey mods are just *chef's kiss*. The sound of the SA caps are beautiful with my boba switches in a D84. They got that good thock going on.
