As a total noob, few questions to ask:

1) Anyone know what keycaps he's using?

2) This is not an ISO layout right? despite being a korean keyboard.

3) What is the name for the caps lock key ? it has a dent, if you know what I mean... It's different from the straight kind.

4) Where can I get those keys ? I can't find similar blank RGB or dented Caps Lock on [GB].

Thanks !

1) These look like the blank thick pbt keycaps that imsto used to sell. It's currently out of stock.
2) It's not ISO layout, it's just ANSI layout without the two windows keys and the one text key. Not sure if ther's a specific name for that layout.
3) It's called stepped caps lock.
4) You can send a PM to imsto, but he told me it's out of stock just a few days ago. I'm not familiar with that RGB set, they seem like OEM profile,it's probably Keycool's product like this: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.11.C5YV7q&id=18673231029
The same RGB set was also sold by Leopold which is a Korean keyboard company, and Keycool used to be Leopold's OEM, not sure if it still is.

ikr!! That's why I couldn't resist and posted to ask around here.

So its safe to say that the keycaps are just normal blank PBT material keycaps.

what does 2 tone mean tho? 2 colors ?

Thanks for all the replies ! :)

2 tone means the grey modifiers + the white alphas in this photo.
