Much better, almost perfect, injection molding than in previous runs - just few small dots at the top of the cap. Lots of spare caps. Turned out to be the perfect fit for Vortex 10.
They look great and I initially ordered them because they have the bottom row for the Corsair K95 which has the ever odd 6.5u space bar and it all fits great, looks great. I got the HyperX ones initially but didn't realize that the bottom row would be off. So here I am with these. A little bit pricier but I think it's worth it for odd keyboards that won't fit the ones that the other set had. Comparing the two, these sound a little bit heftier than the Kingston caps which have a slightly more hollow feel to them imo. The F/J bumps are more pronounced which I highly appreciate. The font is also less gamer-y but this results in much more readable legends on some keys such as the @ on the 2 key.
The only reason I put these at 4/5 instead of 5 is simply that they came in a bag that was all mixed together. This isn't a huge deal for things like the key size or odd shaped enter or anything like that, what it came down to was there being two tilde keys, several page up/down keys and a few others that are different profiles but I didn't realize this until I had already placed them and had to arrange them to find out which ones were meant to go with the standard layout. The other very small issue is that the seam on some of the keys is noticeable and you can see or feel them. The reason this is tiny is just because I don't see a reason to count this as a knock on its own but simply mentioning it in case anyone would be that particular about their keys. Almost every key has an unnoticeable seam between the black and the translucent plastic which is ideal. I don't have any issues with the space bar or any keys like others have mentioned either, it looks and feels great overall. I just wish that the special keys such as the lower profile pgup/pgdn/home/end and tilde keys were labeled somehow to actually know rather than having to suss them out on your own.
Not a perfect cap set but I really do love it for a pudding style cap and isn't breaking the bank which is a huge plus since it's primarily a vanity thing for me, and one of the few that I found that came with the weird sizing that Corsair uses on the bottom row.
Ordered early April and still waiting. Has anyone actually received a set of these, yet? I see a label was created, and then _nothing_. Very disappointed. Just out the money, apparently.
Im literally only looking for 3 keycaps as i already have pudding keycaps. the key caps im looking i know people will have and i'll gladly buy them and pay shipping. please dm me on twitter... @Ciserio. im looking for the small shift. the small FN and a small alt. key that's it i'll pay for them from you please
I wish you could buy custom, if not at the very least atleast a small pack of blank keycaps. It would be nice for the ergodox and for Mac... I can't seem to find them anywhere..
the spacebar wont come back up on my k6 with glorious pandas, the stock spacebar works fine, but the one from this set keeps getting stuck halfway through coming up, does anyone know why?
izhuMost likely your spacebar is slightly warped. It is common with the large keys on PBT sets. I have had great success with other keycap sets by removing the spacebar, and using a hair dryer to evenly warm up the spacebar for about a minute (while wearing gloves to protect my hand from the heat), then carefully twisting the spacebar in the manner indicated to get rid of the particular warp you see. The force must be applied evenly and gently, otherwise a crease will appear in the spacebar if uneven pressure is applied. Then let the spacebar cool to room temperature on its own before replacing it on the keyboard. You can test for warp and see where the warp is, by placing the spacebar on a completely level surface and rocking it back and forth.
