Hey everyone, got my hands on these recently and they are pretty interesting. One of our coworkers has been using it the past few days and is enjoying the experience. One nitpick, the full silica gel construction means the keycap can be twisted at the stem, though you can just twist it back.

YanboWuWouldn't silica gel shrink and expand with ambient humidity? I mean, it's main industrial use is sucking moisture out of the air...

scottstampI would almost guarantee that these are in fact silicone, not silica.

YanboWuYanbo, silica gel is a desiccant. These keycaps are silicone.
I tested two sets in China and they feel okay, but you can't use them with 3mm LEDs or the caps will drag on the surface and completely ruin the feel of the keyswitch. They are OEM profile. The feel is very unique, soft, rubbery, and dampens the bottoming out noise immensely, even better than o-rings.

LunarisDreamFunny seeing you here, friend :^) seriously though, what was your experience? Thoughts while typing, thoughts for gaming? Definitely interested but not sure if I want to bite the bullet.

YanboWuAny way you could post video or a sound test for these keycaps? I think that would really help people make a decision about them.
