No stepped caps?

A bit more compatibility would certainly help other layouts: e.g. split Backspace (add R1 1u | \ key, R2 1.5u Backspace), 65/75% support (R2 Pg Up, R3 Pg Dn, R4 End). And the Win keys could be switched to "Code" or "Super" to be more OS-agnostic.

Thanks for your sincere advice for the compatibility, and we are keep trying to make the set be more flexible for various layouts.

Will it patina over time?
To protect against discoloration, awekeys tell me that they choose special coating.
Also regular cleaning will help prevent discoloration.

Going through the awekeys discord it’s pretty clear that people are having all kinds of fitment and quality issues with the current batch of sets. Will the copper ones have the same problems or are you doing anything to ensure better fitment.

The awekeys team refuse to take ownership of the problem. It’s bizarre that a $200+ set of keys requires you to delicately adjust each one with pliers and hope you get it right without snapping the end off.

I want to buy the copper set but after seeing the problems people are having with the other awekeys sets I’m really concerned.

Awekeys told me that they will have some surprises before the release of the Copper Eagle project, so stay tuned.

That's great, hopefully they've fixed the fit issue. It looks like on the kickstarter they're including the metal adjustment tooll
