Title: Which keycaps should I buy?
Post by: kelvinhall05 on Sat, 08 September 2018, 08:12:19
So I want to "upgrade" the keycaps on my bone-stock CM Masterkeys Pro S. I really, REALLY dig the look of G20 keycaps, especially in black. I found a nice set (https://pimpmykeyboard.com/g20-stealth-keyset/) on PimpMyKeyboard, but they're out of stock and I'm not sure if/when they'll come back in stock. They're also a bit expensive for me, but I'm a noob at this, maybe this is a normal price for a set of keycaps.

Anyway, I would like to find some G20 profile keycaps. I love how low-profile they are, and while I've never tried them in person (don't have a way to), I think I'll enjoy them. I was wondering if someone had experience with these and stock Cherry keycaps, and could give me a short comparison and how they like or hate them. It would also help if someone found a set similar to the one I linked above, but that is in stock and not $90. Oh, and I'm new here, so sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place :P

Thanks!

I seriously doubt the OP wants to wait until late Feb of next year to upgrade his keycaps.

G20 keycaps are terrible. They have a really small numer of fans.

Get a gmk set available right now from originative:
https://www.originativeco.com/collections/keysets

There are a lot of online shops that have gmk keyaps available, or you can go to the gh classifieds, or to the reddit mechmarket.

G20 keycaps are only terrible to those who don't like them. To those who do like them, G20 keycaps are great. How can one person possibly decide this for another?

This is the most mediocre thing that I've ever heard.
