Ah, thanks.
Has anyone ever figured out what makes these a "Second"?
Other than the hole in the head of course.
i think the reds are a little darker, like a blood red. i love mine.
Factory 2nds are keys that were slightly off from the previously offered keycap runs.
This usually means the colors were slightly lighter or darker than what was previously offered.
Sometimes they have a slight discolored mark on the back of the key or an inconsistent sheen.
Factory 2nds or F2s are distinguished by the little singular hole in the back of the key.
same here, I really like the factory 2nd red!

As you can see I have the original EK blue and the factory 2nd blue can you tell which one is which?
Edit: This was posted right after you posted a new pic. The one on the left is the EK version :P
The color in the picture seems way off. My factory 2nds blue looks much darker than that. But yes, the factory second keys are slightly off color from their EK versions.
Actually the right one is the EK Blue one! The 2nd is darker. EK blue is my all time favorite CC color as lame as that sounds lol. It was actually the first one I got. I will post a better pic of the two blue keys
Use ripster's technique, in order to have your gold one ;-)Show Image(http://img.tapatalk.com/6577102f-d5e0-9961.jpg)
