I kinda no these MUST be cherry mx but..
 Pretty sure they are but doesnt say in the description. Neen confirmation. Looks like they are on a keycool 108 I think... Keycools only use mx I believe.. I am ordering them anyway but it would be great to have a pro tell me theyll be cherry mx :)

Given that they are on a Cherry board, I'd say they must be MX.

Awesome dude. I would have recommended thick pbt. But that might be out of your budget

Can I resuscitate this thread with another vaguely important question regarding the caps.. "Gradient engraved" means they are physically etched/engraved so you could feel the gradient?

Translations are usually terrible. Post a real link to Taobao and somebody here will give you a proper translation for you.

Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.
