Title: Has anyone ever used these (double shot rubber)?
Post by: KuhnTang on Thu, 27 December 2012, 21:05:25

I bought these today to satisfy my curiosity, at the mere cost of $10 why not, right?  Anyway, they don't come in the mail for like a week or so.  Does anyone have any experience with these?  Are they good/bad?

They also come in lime green, but I got the orange, if they are good I'll get the green too.

Here's the link:

lol.... that kinda funny.

Looks like they may be decent if you want a super grippy WASD cluster.

Contemplated getting someone to proxy some to me but decided not to. Look forward to hearing your opinion on them.

Wonder what sort of keycap puller you'd need to remove your fingers from the switches?

Yeah same keycap, they are made by Tai-Hao. Apparently they also make normal ABS doubleshots too.

My brother bought them! (Well, I bought them and gifted them to him)

I have no idea what he thinks, but I'll ask him.

I would have happily bought these a long time ago if they would sell me either:
A: A complete set with proper legends
B: A complete set blank

A complete set of rubber keys for $120.00 sounds great to me.  I would buy 3 sets if the rubber was soft.

How hard/soft is the rubber?
