It looks like a deep dish meant for F and J

That's one of the ones that's supposed to go on 'F' or 'J'.  Deep dish homing key.   :thumb:

I fixed it, I just now noticed it myself after Lethal had said something, one of the keys was hiding under something on my desk.

Nice! How are you liking the PBTs compared to the stock ABS keycaps?

 I really love the texture of them and the sound difference I didn't think would be that noteable, but it is. So all in all, there awesome.

How much did that set you back? Been considering getting a blank set myself.
