This video was done in a rather different way from the usual format as this keyboard is too boring to review in a normal manner. Hope you enjoy the video! :)

Yes, but I am using only one color (generally).

@demas thx! at first i wanted to buy your PBT double-shot translucent keycap set too, it's widely available on Aliexpress, Banggood, Gearbest, and so on. I dig the retro color scheme. But in the end i went for the modern-look Blue/White PBT keycap set, also double-shot translucent, prolly from the same Chinese keycap factory, which is now installed on my Everglide. My Everglide, my Leopold, and my Ajazz are all stored away, even though i lerv all 3 of them (all have Blue switches). For my PC, somehow i am content with using my IBM Model M (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=91489.msg2566385#msg2566385) all the time instead.
It is crazy how fast the original black Ajazz keycaps shine up. And they seem to catch dust more than PBT keycaps, maybe it's because of electrostatic forces, which also makes them harder to vacuum. So on my Ajazz i installed the white PBT double-shot translucent keycaps from my Everglide, also because i cannot stand looking at dark surfaces. I really need personal lighting, which is why i ended up with a collection of Fenix, Olight, and Ultratac.

If you're wondering. You can't be called a true geek, if you don't know what the black little box (made out of anodized aluminum (https://www.fasttech.com/products/5299000), actually) is, to which the keeb is connected. That's the Raspberry Pi. I use it for learning how to code in The Wolfram Language (https://www.programmingmathematica.com/books.html) and for streaming classical music with old PC speakers plugged to it. As a screen i use my smartphone screen, the WiFi connection between raspi and smartphone is established thru wireless VNC server/client software application (https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/download/viewer/) which comes FREE with the raspi operating system. The Mathematica installation, latest version, comes also FREE with it.
Sorry for the digression but that's the story behind this pic lol :p

I always though one ABS is the same as another ABS, but apparently that is not the case. Seems that some ABS shines much faster.
