Hm, I just want those keys. Too bad they are single piece, though, I genuinely prefer the feel of the 2 piece keys. Just feels more solid.

I can't tell a difference between 1 or 2 piece caps, but those M13 keys wear very quickly.  That's why unicomp uses grey keys.

My dream would be for doubleshot black keycaps for unicomp boards.

The two piece keys just feel more solid to me. Which is why I swapped them in on my unicomp for the letter block.

Changes the sound slightly, as well. For the better, in my opinion.
