I really love these caps! But I’m pretty new to mech keys in general and haven’t bought a set like this before. Is there any sort of estimate on how long they might take to come in? I know we’re talking months and months, but is it like 6 months? A year? Longer?
Thanks to anyone with experience in stuff like this who can give me any sort of an estimate!
chirmerSince the manufacturer of this keycap (Signature Plastic) has a huge backlog, it is most probably going to take 10 - 12 months until it arrives at our doorstep.
It is quite some time to wait, but somehow it is considered a norm to wait this long from Signature Plastic.
Just for the sake of joking, maybe that's why all the switches are designed to last decade(s) because they need to wait that long for the keycaps to arrive.
chirmerThe 2 highest quality brands of keycaps is GMK and SA. SA does generally take a year, while GMK is usually 4 months.
There was a GB earlier for the same colorway, but in GMK. (its sold out now)

chirmerGenerally, if you like the colorway and you got the cash to spare, its a good idea to join. If you a year from now realize you dont want them, they can always be sold on mechmarket for a markup.
