Those look great. I wonder how good the quality of the build is on these.

Ducky seems to be doing a bit with keycaps these days.

I'm excited about these. Hopefully this set comes with the 4 shortcut keys since I have the 9008 G2.

Ducky is doing some awesome stuff already this year. I know some people here are Costar die-hards but Ducky really can't be beat when it comes to the diversity of selection.

I wasn't a fan of Ducky before because I heard so many stories about boards not working and other problems Ducky had so I stayed away. Now, I wish I wouldn't have waited so buy one. The G2 Pro has outstanding build quality and I will be buying more Ducky's for years to come.

I really like the dark grey ones.. can make a good contrast with plain black keys, still not as huge as if white keycaps are used

These will be good for OEM profile lovers

Oi - Almost what I was looking for.

Still looking for someone who makes PBT caps with media legends that match my filco board. Not a fan of white/grey/blue/etc.

Looks like these are thick PBT caps:

The blue ones look very similar to the thick KBC dyesublimated keycaps I bought.  :cool:

I'm hoping they'll offer a set in ISO, so far there's no love for us when it comes to thick PBT caps.

How do these compare with IMSTO's thick PBT?

Wow, MX dark grey? Cool.

Maybe they'll make a keypad with Clears. :D

Mashby, the main difference I can see is that these are "OEM" profile and IMSTO's are Cherry profile.

Ahhh... that makes sense. Doh!  :confused:

Thank you for clearing that up for me.
