I agree with staehle's criticisms about missing keys that would be useful, but I still like these. I'd love to buy something similar in DSA too for another board.
So hold up, the novelties set has dedicated keys for “play”, “pause”, and “stop” (also a second “stop” for some reason), which all pretty much do the same thing (play/pause) when you map those keys, but no “next track” and “previous track”? Useless lol. Does this set designer even listen to music at their computer? Also there’s volume up and down here, good, but no “mute”? Come on.
The phrase "novelties for every function" was not used in the description. It was suggested that the novelty keycaps would be useful when "creating macros for certain functions".
If you want to use the colorful arrows as the arrow keys, then you could use any of the 28 custom 'pattern/macro' keys for track/playlist navigation.
I agree, it would have been nice if this set included dedicated keys for track navigation. But with so many keycaps with the combined Base + Novelties sets, it's hardly a deal breaker.
