Such an iconic set that I'm thrilled to finally add to my collection. I'm currently rocking the Synthwave set with Turbo add ons. This is the most I've ever spent on a set of caps and probably will ever spend ... but man was it worth it. Bravo MiTo.
leta start with the pros:
1-mito put a lot of effort into getting the colors just right. he went all the way to gmk in germany to help get things perfect, and the colors came out great imo
2-mito also works with the comm extensively to get ppl the kits they want
3-the creativity of these caps was very on point, particularly the novelties.
now the cons(which really have nothing to do with mito, BUT just my personal take on this set):
1-IN MY OPINION, this set only looks good on a black case. i’ve seen all the pics and really nothing works with this set BUT the black case. totally my own opinion, BUT thats how i feel
2-im a big fan of making keebs that are completely alien. what i mean is that bc im a touch typist i prefer the legends to be decorative only, and thats why i always get mitos alternate kits like with canvas i got rams and with laser i got kobe, and although mito offers mitocon mods there is really no alt kits for the number row, which really looks strange when everything but the num row is unintelligible. now, with laser i did fill the num row with novelties, BUT i still think if your gonna make alt legends then make an alt num row two. again this is totally my opinion
3-finally, i also wish there were more alt legend kits with more of the neon alt colors like the yellow and orange. the 80s were loud and had crazy colors like this and i would have preferred more color choices tbh
EDIT: i do really like what mito did with this second run of gmk laser. in this run he offers the same color mods. i think thats gonna look sick with teal boards, silver boards and possibly navy boards. great work!!!
I picked up the spacebar kit just to work with the SA Laser key caps I also have. They match pretty well. Obviously the profile is quite different, but I already flip my spacebars upside down so it doesn't really matter much
I really like the colorway on these keycaps, however i give 4 stars due to quality control issues. My spacebar is uneven causing stabilizer ticking which is mildly annoying.
I had the SA version for the longest time and only recently got the GMK set while it was on sale.
Great set although it's become a bit oversaturated in this hobby, would be perfect if you have a blue acrylic board like the custom Galleon 1800 pictured here. Also great for double F-row boards like this Galleon pictured here or the Boston 120.
Amazing set that feels great but I do wish the gaijin set came with at least a couple of caps that could be used for the lower section of they keyboard but otherwise amazing set!
