It looks like the e-sports caps are available for purchase now (in both PBT and ABS, and a dished version is on the way, too).  Not bad...

I wonder how those see through polycarbonate keycaps are to type on as well as long term durability...

In for a crap bag (when they finally release them).  The polycarbs look good, and I don't think you would run into the same problems as a polycarb case (microscratches that dull and swirl the glossy finish) since I would think they would be cast with a textured top.  Would look really good with a colored custom plate, or if you like seeing the pcb.

I noticed both of these earlier but didn't think to post about it :P

Ok so maybe I was just going to keep the crap bag thing a secret and buy them out hahaha ;)

I've heard the Ducky doesn't go dim enough to make it not obnoxious with clear caps.

Hmmm so do these clear sets have F and J keys with little home row 'nubs' or lines? And why does the spacebar look like a different profile in the picture?

(the pictures don't show the lines because I placed them in the wrong spots, I fixed it after I took the picture)
