3. Are these doubleshot keycaps?

-Yes all of our keycaps are doubleshot molded(highest quality mold possible) and are made of ABS plastic. This combination produces the highest quality keycaps, resistant to scratching and even sandpapering.

It's my website. For the Geekhack keycaps I've been consistently donating a portion of my sales directly to geekhack. I already discussed it in another thread. QWER keys sells Geekhack Keycaps for more. I don't see why my prices are so bad. The keycaps on the site were keycaps I myself have personally ordered directly from Signature Plastics. There was a severe backlash at me in the past for reselling keys and I was told if I had bought the keys myself then there would be no conflict of interest.

DS are ABS not PBT, but that aside, SP is probably the lowest quality key.  I think most forum members would agree authentic Cherry keys are the highest quality.

Guys i'm more than willing to accept positive criticism but if you want to go on a witch hunt just leave me out of this. I've been bashed on way too much. Honestly I'm not even making that much money off of this. My prices really aren't ridiculous.

Pertaining to the Geekhack Keycaps, I make about a dollar off each keycap and I've been donating pretty much half of what I make from each sale(Sometimes I donate more).

Man, I really like this website a lot but I guess I stepped on too many toes(unintentionally) here to be accepted well, which is why the primary reason I didn't bother posting about it here in fear of getting flamed to hell like every other time.

If my sale of keycaps bothers you guys that much, I'll take down the website.

Yes I definitely agree with you that authentic Cherry Keys are indeed the highest quality but I thought that Cherry Corp stopped focusing on making keyboards/keycaps so I naively assumed that DS/ABS was truly the highest quality unless somehow DS/PBT was possible.

Yea, the row containing the Esc Key and "~" Key is Row 1. All of the keycaps in my store with the exception of the Riddler Keycaps(Row 4) fit on Row 1

I only had 2 sets left and both were from my personal collection :\. I uploaded a 3rd set(my friend's) last night and that sold literally in 3 minutes and a couple of seconds. I think i may have priced them slightly low. Signature Plastics definitely won't make any more of these in the future unfortunately :[

Doubleshot. I had to go through endless hours and hours of refining the design and editing it so that it could be made via doubleshot. Personally I wouldn't want this keycap in anything but doubleshot :]
