Saw this on [H] deal thread. Buy it maybe for the caps? These are double shot caps right?

not a bad price, the only reason I never pulled the gun on the 81 series is because someone on the forums said the cherry MY switches have crappy feeling to them.... I would like to hear more from other peeps what they think of the MY switches.

They are pretty much universally hated by the people that've used them. The keycaps don't look doubleshot (legend is "gray") so it's probably lasered. as fas as I know: most peolpe strip the keycaps off and throw the keyboard out.

That said, I've always wanted to try them, too.

Yes, the only thing I would get this for is the key caps. If they were double shot for sure.

They should be lasered, the L in LUMUS indicates they are lasered.
-
Ah, then idk if it is worth it. What would they be made out of then? POM/ABS? If it's ABS not sure if it is worth the trouble then.

its PBT

What sort of code would it have if keys are double shots?

Heck, I have a NIB G81-8000 with lasered caps I would throw someone's way for $25 shipped.
