It's the gloop on the keys.  Hallucinogens.

Acutally, the set that I got sent had no gloop on the keys whatsoever. It was actually really nice! :)

The titanium space is a bit weird to type on, so I'm considering switching to the PBT space.

(I also couldn't find my keycap puller, so I replaced these keys by hand. I did the cool Korean trick of squishing the stabilizer keys :P)

He may be waiting for me to send his money back for them.  If I read his email correctly, I am to wait until I actually receive them.  It was a bit confusing, but we'll make sure you are reimbursed!

I really just want the white keycaps I ordered. I'm a little frustrated with Imsto. He sends me the wrong ones so knowing that you are waiting I immediately sent the keycaps to you.  And I'm still sitting here Impatiently waiting for mine and they still haven't even been sent.

Imsto - please tell me when you will send my keycaps. Last week you told me this week....

I read the post but didn't want to read the Wiki, sorry I don't meet your standards.

For those that don't want to read the Wiki as well...

Quote from: ripster
While playing around on my cheapo $15 test numpad you can see that the switch actually pulled out of the PCB, breaking a lead. I recommend:

    On a PCB mounted keyboard don't use the wire puller, too easy to pull the switch if you are not careful
    Shove a screwdriver as in the picture above into where the led goes for backlit keyboards and pin the switch down as you pull the key.
    Wiggle it like Beyonce dancing "Put A Ring On It"

Sorry for those who've not get the keycaps.I 've been realy busy with my job these days.
Shipping keycaps worldwide is realy a job that would easy to be massed up..
All the keycaps'd been send, but nhwaup and two new buys. I will send it this week, I promise.

btw: should remove the PBT keycaps slowly, especially those keyboards without steel plate.

My black engraved arrived today and look great!

As for the sticky stuff.  What I found worked really well was laying down long strips of postage tape on the back of the keycap box (not sticky side up -- just apply the tape down on the box!) and and then rubbing the bottom of the keys against it.  The friction removed it pretty quickly.

A little late at joining the party, but finally swapped the caps on my boards :)







Loving it! Thanks imsto. And my friend would also like to extend his thanks... so thanks from the both of us ;)

I added to the PBT vs ABS Key Review the little factoid that they are QUITE snug fitting so be careful pulling off or this MAY happen.

Notice the broken Cherry MX pin.

That didn't quite happen to me, but this did

Any proper way on how to place it back in? I did it the harsh way and jammed it in which kinda made the switch carved its way through the black square. Fingers aren't too happy about it either =\
