It has come to our attention that a small portion of users are experiencing an accelerated rate of wear with the keycaps used on this board. For these users, the legends are wearing off within 2 weeks of regular use. This is both unexpected for this production technique and unacceptable from a user experience standpoint.
In response to the feedback and response from these users, we are taking the following actions:
Any users experiencing premature fading of legends on the Keysterine keycap set will have their set replaced. Please contact the support team for a replacement set.
As part of our investigation, we analyzed a variety of different solvents and other potential root causes of the fading legends and have not identified any external factors that are contributing to the wear.
We have adjusted the manufacturing process to ensure that the caps have the most durable legends possible moving forward. Replacement sets will come from a newer batch which utilizes this updated printing method.
We will continue to update this post if anything changes. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have here and we’ll do our best to answer.
Who makes this board? How is it aluminum and see through? Is it QMK/VIA compatible. Are they loaded with Drop Holy Pandas, or others? Is this kit hot swappable? Come on Drop, you know people are going to ask for these details. Why not do your copy before advertising a product?
badmarkAlmost all of the details you are asking for are in the photos and description. The base of the case -IS- aluminum and clearly you can see that in the photos. The top plate and keycaps are translucent. The keycaps are Holy Pandas - in the description.
Was about to get excited. I thought you guys came out with a new keyboard. Looks like its a drop entr just plastic. I can assume they are plate mounted stabs? I already have the keycaps and I love them. I think there was a missed opportunity to use clear switches so you don’t see the white and pink pandas showing thru the caps. Definitely a cool idea just wish it was on a fresh new board.
