Difference between TechKeys and KeyPop GID Keys.

(1/1)

Jademalo:
I've ordered a load of keys in the past few weeks, but I've managed to get myself mixed up with these, and I'm not sure which one is which. (I like to know where everything came from =p)

The two keys are slightly different, although they have the same mold pattern. (Notch 1/3 of the way up the back, no other distinguishable features)
One is lighter and smoother, one is darker and slightly rougher.

I think that the TechKeys one is the lighter one, but I can't figure out for sure.
I checked them before I mixed them up, and made a note that other TechKeys keys had the notch, and that most keypop ones have it at the front. However, both of the GID keys have it at the back, so that was useless and has left me confused!

If anyone has both and can help me distinguish them 100%, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

I'm actually surpised they are different at all since they came from the same manufacturer...must be from a different batch of material.

I would help if I could, but I have no idea what shade the keypop one is.

Jademalo:
One is subtly lighter than the other, but If they're from the same manufacturer then I'll try and let it go =p

Thanks!

There's only one way to find out... Buy more!
