Looks like Plum/Niz are rolling out black cases now with a side printed POM keycap option.

Even with free shipping, these seem quite expensive, considering they're direct from China. Only a couple of years ago, you'd see products like these for half as much. Now they've learned to price things just low enough to draw Western customers's interest.

It's thoughtful of you to post about this. Personally, though, I think I'd rather spend another $20 for a Type Heaven.

And is this the actual manufacturer advertising these? If so, they should hire a professional photographer rather than taking their own snapshots, wouldn't you say?

And 30g? Wouldn't most people find that way too light? Cherry MX Reds, which most people consider a light switch, is 45g.

I can't speak for these but the 84 key is pretty attractive at $99 since you can mod the absolute tits out of it without feeling bad about it + it's the only 75% form factor Topre type board afaik. I'm probably going to buy one and toss some 55g domes in it + dental bands or something.

Well, as my mom would've said, that's better than stealing hubcaps!

What's really enticing to me are the side printed POM caps.  Even if the board sucks you've got a rare set of caps
