Title: EBAY keycaps

i wonder how the quality are these keycaps are for.  I just wanted to customize my das keyboard with the black and white checkerboard format for the keycaps and i don't know if these are ok keycaps to use as replacements for the keyboard.

I brought a set of them when I first started on the road to pbt keycaps. The ones I got were very smooth and I did not like them and tossed them out after less than an hour use.

Can't really judge quality or feel unless you have then right in front of you. But just from looking at the pic, the font looks like crap.

I bought from them cause they were cheap. They're not the best keycaps in the world but for the price, im pretty happy. However I will most definitely be replacing them in the near future. Also the letters are not etched, they are stickers stuck on with strong adhesives and you can feel a raised bump so if that bothers you, then don't buy these. Just my two cents.
