The box is so bad..so I will remove it, just show you how bad it is and why I decide to change it for shipping safety...

Can you take a clearer picture of any set? A green set would be nice. And the thickness comparison!

Qtan is having delivery issues because of flooding. It might delay things a week or so.

There is another thread where Qtan talks about this.

Gotcha.  I received an email late last evening that my caps were shipped.  As soon as I get them I will post pictures.

In the meantime, here's a picture of some red caps

Got mine recently. Wanted two-tone white alphas with light purple modifiers, but I apparently did not specify well and got all light purple. The color is not intrinsic to the plastic -- it is achieved by dyeing white caps. Looks like an amateur Rit job. Color was uneven. Altogether disappointing.

Sorry. Just bagged them and put them in a drawer. Didn't take pics. However, I can say that the pics of the caps on the TaoBao site look much better than the caps look in real life. Forgot to mention that in addition to the color issues, the spacebar was warped. I would recommend a pass on this one. Better to invest in a higher quality dye sub PBT set or doubleshot ABS set, IMO.

I found it via USPS.  I remember when I ordered last from qtan I tracked it that way.

When they get here, they get here.  I will be taking pictures and comparing the caps on a pure pro to the stock keys.  I believe they are regular pbt.


I ordered the deep blue set
  • I might keep the modifiers the stock white
  • I might do everything but the arrow keys
  • I might change everything to blue

Is it still possible to get these keycaps from Qtan? I just ordered a pure pro on massdrop and would really love these keycaps since it is SOOO hard to find ones that fit the pure pro layout. Does anyone know any other pure pro keycaps?

But mainly, id like to order a couple sets of these if possible. Ty!

Dropping an update on these caps (for people that are either waiting to receive or will be placing orders)

They shipped out on August 19th.  For my parcel, they were held at Customs until September 3rd.  Between both dates, there were no updates to the tracking page (USPS).  I wanted to leave this since people might wonder what the hold up is (or if they are lost) so not to worry, they will get to you.


And as promised, I will have pictures for everyone once mine arrive (on a pure pro)

thanks!

Sorry. No photos. Looks like the post office delivered it to another city and someone signed for it. :-(  I emailed qtan and hope this can get sorted out.

Hey all.

Just received the package today.  Sadly, I don't have the pure pro with me this week!  I did however snap a few quick pictures to show you a little more about the keys.












a link to larger images?

You can't really see it but there is a mark on the function key.  Honestly, it's worth what I paid for it.  The print on the keys is a little light for my taste, but overall they're worth the 60 bucks.

What do you think?

Awsome set, makes me hopeful that someone will start selling sets with ISO modifiers... I love my Pure Pro ISO, but a 4.5 space bar + iso is a sure recipe for no custom sets (YET). Any thoughts ?

My set of green keycaps for my Poker just came in today, so I snapped a couple pics real quick. Mostly to show the uneven coloring and spacebar. Since this is my first set of dyed keycaps, I don't really know if the lighter marks are due to scratching or from uneven dying. I tried scratching the keycaps myself with no real changes in color.







The uneven coloring is visible on 7 of the keys, including the spacebar. The color itself is just okay in my opinion, doesn't really look that rich to me. I haven't had a chance to put them on my Poker 2 yet since it's at work. Overall, I guess I'm satisfied but a bit disappointed. They definitely looked more amazing in the pictures on TaoBao. But who knows, maybe they will look better when I actually put them on a keyboard.

Your assessment agrees with mine. I was very disappointed. This was obviously a dye job, and it was not done well. The color was uneven, and in my set, the spacebar was warped. Better to spend more to get a good set of dye-sub thick PBT keycaps.

Those IMO don't look anything like the photos posted on the ad (this is no fault of qtan's). I would be disappointed myself.

Actually, the green set appears to be pretty much the same in terms of color. The only difference in my eyes is the lighting, which in the advertisement is organized to make the keys look as nice as they can manage.
