Nice!

Looks like you got some decent caps. How are the rest of them??

The rest were actually pretty decent. Some total duds but most of them were random black caps, some with Japanese legends and a lot of nice number keys but too lazy to take more pics

Yup, actually really surprised after hearing about the bad luck others had but this bag turned out alright.

I would buy any angled (R1/R2/R4) SA you don't want.

Keycap experiments need caps...

So orange and blue Awesome Faces are never to be seen again? Well that looks like another dream crushed, spit on, and buried in a shallow grave.

Not like I've been lusting after those things for two years

Honestly I think most people kind of regretted buying these last time round, for the money you can almost get an actual set of keys. Better off dropping a little bit more cash for something you can actually use.

I'd prefer to pay for a set, than to pay for a surprise, the first last for a long time, the later just a few minutes. But that is only me. For that money I can get some of the modifiers sets available from Germany. I think that is much better than some random novelties, and for the space bars now I am using mostly PBT, I just cannot tolerate the shiny spots.

Angled like these:

Should all be MX stems. SA are thick with spherical (as opposed to cylindrical) tops.

I bought mine last year because I was going to try using a slight acetone mix to dye abs caps and figured this was the cheapest way per cap to get a good chunk for testing. Then [CTRL]ALT did the bro set and didn't need to dye caps.

Hello abennet

I am missing a key from my PuLSE set so I was wondering if I can buy the SA PuLSE keys you got from your crap bag.

I would really appreciate it.

EDIT: Mainly need the 'S' key

For a random bag it has a very good balance of colors…
