GMK Phantom and GMK Miami Nights. Single Primary Keycap color + accented legends are subtle, yet still pop out.

My top five would probably be DSA Royal Navy, SA Abyss, XDA Canvas (Godspeed is good too), GMK Lazer, and SA Miami Dolch. I only have one of those ATM, but I have big plans for the future :P

I love the Miami color scheme, but most caps don't do it justice. I've got a set of Miami Dolch DSA, and I love them. DSA Royal Navy is beautiful, and I wish they'd do another run of SA Danger Zone. Was just getting into the hobby when it had its run.

I really like my Nautilus set, but Laser and Penumbra are also favorites of mine. I have both laser and Penumbra on order, so I'll have a better opinion once I see them in person.

My very first order of this profile here is SA Carbon. I joined MD because I wanted SA 1976 but even if round two ever came for it, or any set I buy in the future I’ll still go back to SA Carbon.
I‘ve learned so much from the Carbon drop, and spent a lot of time following that discussion thread. T0mb3ry even made a “salty” kit to highlight the debacle event of incorrect pricing. Only creator I know who adds a special set to commentate an event during a drop. So far this set matches all the colors of my keebs; black, silver and pink. It shocked me that Carbon worked well on pink, and now makes me think Carbon won’t disappoint me with any future keebs I buy.

If you're into blank keycaps, you can get 3~5 Gateron/EnjoyPBT blank keysets for the price of a decent labelled keyset to create mixed tone keysets with. So far I've gotten 4 (Black, Dark gray, Milk White, and Ghost White). I plan to get Tan and CMYK to finish the blank collection.
Best parts are:
1. Quality is top notch 2. You can create new keysets when you get tired one
That said, it's all Cherry profile so I ordered a SA Solarized Penumbra for times when I miss the sound of raindrops.

So I am not sure what version of the ID80 this is, but given that its is per key white LED and it has a gasket mount with center positioned brass weight, this has the latest case updates but a V2 PCB. Is this correct?
For reference:

The keyboard is plugged in and powered on. Apologies if this is very basic or if I have used incorrect language describing my issue, I don't have experience with this. Thank you

From Art to Artisan
Before launching any product, there are many designs, concepts, and ideas that pass between teams before arriving at a final design which makes its way to your computer screen and, eventually, desk. This is no more true than when considering possibly the most "art"-forward aspect of the mechanical keyboard hobby—artisan keycaps. It should be obvious that a lot of planning and artistry goes into crafting these literal pieces of art. We don't often get a chance to see behind the curtain, though. So, let's take a closer look at the upcoming Drop + Dwarf Factory Lord of the Rings Rohan Artisan Keycaps. Before any resin is spilled, Middle Earth (the entity that licenses the Lord of the Rings IP) needs to approve the concepts based on concept art provided by Dwarf Factory. We connect with DF to coordinate on the topic and subject matter—in this particular case, additional Rohan-themed designs—to be sure that the concepts match with overall direction, whether that be pairing up with a...

My Kingdom for Smooth ABS SA Keycaps
Every time I build a new keyboard, I go hunting for keycaps. And every time I go hunting, it eventually devolves into a desperate search for SA (or equivalent) profile keycaps with a smooth finish. SA is the ultimate profile, IMHO, and they're relatively hard to come by. Signature Plastics, which is where a lot of SA sets come from like the T0mb3ry SA Carbon set (they might actually hold the trademark on the SA profile if I'm not mistaken), is reportedly going through some management/ownership struggles (last I heard, they're looking for new ownership), and along with apparently the rest of the industry, they seem to be neglecting this superior keycap profile in their own stocks. If you order direct from them, they have a couple themed sets in stock (maybe), but generally you can have any color you want, as long as it's black or white. Drop carries a fair number of MT3 profile sets, which are very similar to SA. But just like SP's SA-P profile, they're made with a different...

DCX vs DCD vs DCL - Drop’s Keycap Profiles Explained
We’ve covered the basics of keycap profiles before—spherical/cylindrical, sculpted/uniform, etc. One thing that has come up more and more over the years as we’ve expanded our portfolio of offerings here at Drop is the distinction between some of our similar profiles. Specifically, what is the actual difference between DCX, DCD, and DCL? Cylindrical Profiles To recap the previous article on the topic, one of the most basic ways to separate various keycap profiles is by shape (cylindrical, spherical, or flat). DCX, DCD, and DCL are all cylindrical profiles. The most famous cylindrical profile is Cherry profile, as defined by the original manufacturer of the keycaps—Cherry. GMK now owns those tools, and as such, only they can technically claim to produce “Cherry” profile keycaps. Similar keycap profiles are often called Cherry profile colloquially, but are in actuality slightly different. For the sake of not splitting hairs, all of the cylindrical profiles discussed here are...
