The mash of colors is a little hard to look at sometimes, but that is exactly what is advertised and you know what you're getting if you order this set. Love it
Loved being able to get this in uniform profile, to increase compatibility of keyboards (as a fan of 40% boards). Snagged on sale and shipping was quick. Great buy!
Great colourway with deep and vibrant colours.
The packaging is sub-par with everything thrown in a zip-lock bag. Having bought previous sets produced by Signature Plastics, I have come to expect this. That being said, risk of chipping to your keycaps is a real possibility.
A flatter numpad kit option would be nice too.
Deeply satisfying both visually and in terms of flexibility of arrangement. As an ortho enthusiast who also loves weird keyboards, the versatility can't be beat. Only complaint is that the wonderful teal on the F13, Raise, and Lower should be on more keys. One point to improve would be making a uniform version of the numpad kit as well. Happy to have purchased both kits mentioned, as well as the spacebars.
Without the story behind this set, I don't know that I'd appreciate it in the right way. But thanking those who came before us, and set the groundwork for this hobby, means a lot to me. Sets like this, Biip 2048 Extended and Skiidata are really awesome, and remind us of classic design.
The initial round took an eternity, to the point where I had nearly forgotten about placing the order. While anticipation is said to sweeten the reward, the prolonged shipping duration did test my patience.
In terms of quality control, looking closelier reveals the remnants of the molding process. Similar to an observation made by another reviewer, it's quite apparent where the keycaps were detached from their mold. This isn't noticeable from a regular viewing distance, but the devil, as they say, is in the details. Especially if you're buying these to, well, you know, look at. I would chase this up but the purchase was over a year ago and frankly I've moved on.
The packaging, a mere zip lock bag, leaves much to be desired. Not only does it play roulette with the keycaps' safety during transit, but it also raises concerns regarding its environmental impact. Unlike the more sustainable basic cardboard, the soft plastic packaging falls short in both protection and eco-friendliness.
Beautiful, nostalgic facade and a pleasing tactile experience, but the pricing coupled with the quality control and packaging issues makes this a Not Recommended for me.
