I've been wanting to try new aftermarket keycaps for a while now and have been mulling over a few dozen options for weeks. I finally pulled the trigger on these ePBT cherry profile Japanese keycaps, and I'm not as pleased as I thought I would be.
They are very smooth- thought they would be grittier. Running my fingers over the surface they are also very irregular. The legends edges don't look very neat and clean at all. Surprisingly space bar is almost perfectly straight, but all the modifier keycaps are warped, especially the 2.75 shift is badly curved and it's unsightly.
I have to say that I like the stock Vortex Pok3r, Drop, and even the Anne Pro II caps (though they are thin) better than these. I'm just wondering if I would be better off getting some of the more mass produced offerings from Vortex or Mistel. They are less than half the price and more consistent. There are also a lot of other keycaps in the 25 - 50 dollar range and I may experiment with them and put these on eBay. This is all highly subjective of course, but I was wondering what other people's experiences have been. I am experiencing buyer's remorse here. I've also seen lots of beautiful canvas colored keycap sets, but most are XDA or DSA profile and I've never tried those.
