karpadorShit. If this is what the actual caps look like, I think I'd rather get my money back. I was thinking they would be more muted, less saturated. While I enjoy custard-filled donuts, it's not a color I want for a set of key caps. Bleh...
Also a bit of a shame that the typeface couldn't be as thin as it is in the renders.
Thanks for the pics!

WhiteVailleThis doesn't look anything like the color tones in the images of the description. @karpador does it look like what you expected based on the renders in the description? I was hoping for something more grey-scale than that cream color. Thinking maybe you cranked up saturation based on the purple hue of the laptop screen's reflection.

To be honest, I have pretty bad eyes so at first I did not realise how colour tones might have been different. After reading your comments, I think the colour might be a little more creamy than how it shows on the description page.
I also have yellowish/dark lighting, so I used my table lamp (which has relatively more white lighting) and took the photos again. This is the photo of the keycaps under direct light.
I wanted to put something everyone knows to compare the colours, but I couldn't think of one... so instead I compared with Tai-Hao ABS Carbon keycaps.
Hope this helps.

karpadorhow does XDA feel compared to the standard cherries on the kbd75? :) Excited to get mine and condolences to your J letter :(

weijuIt was already after sunset when I took the photos, so if you want, I will try taking pictures again with the natural light near the window tomorrow. :-)

SakisI just pulled out the spacebar to make things sure, and I can confirm that it is not warped. I guess it is the light :P

RaccatographyUmm I this is the first keycaps set I've ever put on kbd75 (yes, it just arrived) and I only typed a few words so I don't think I can fully describe the feelings. However, this is my first XDA profile keycaps and I think typing on uniform profile over all the rows is quite a new experience. It feels kind of weird :p

karpadorThank you! I am actually longing for the laptop typing experience (all uniform shebang) :D

karpadorGood one mate! Did you tried the XDA profile? May I ask how did it feel compare to DSA or any other equivalents? BTW I start regretting not getting Bauhaus mods set(colour richer than I thought) after seeing your on board demo.

weijuAs @weiju suggested, I took a photo near the window before I left for work today. The colours definitely look different from the photo that I uploaded very first, so I guess it is all about the lighting. Hope things are more clarified for @WhiteVaille and @douglasryanadams as well.

jc303I reckon it looks like all of the legends are slightly right-aligned. The V, F and J keys more so somehow.

I can chime in on this. I have a full board on DSA Granite and I recently swapped all the alphas on my TADA68 to blank XDAs to try the profile. XDA is a much more natural feeling profile, hard to explain. It's definitely a better feel than DSA, DSA feels like you're typing on something flat, while XDA has a nice curve to it. An even nicer curve than SA in my opinion. I'm looking forward to more mainstream adoption of the profile.

karpadorI have, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something as the sizes of the caps weren't explicitly called out in the buy details as far as I recall and can currently see. Thanks for verifying.
