Title: Elitekeyboard keycap quality?
Post by: Jixr on Tue, 27 August 2013, 20:15:20

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a keycap set.

I have a set of white blanks by WASD, and a full set thats pretty affordable.

I saw EK sells sets for about $30 shipped and the only thing holding me back was that they are pad printed.
the stock keys on my qfr's are pad printed, and you can clearly  feel the legends under your fingers, can anyone confirm if the
caps from EK will be the same?

They are ABS material and pad printed. If longevity doesn't matter to you, they are a good deal.

I dunno, since shipping is the same for one or two sets ($10 ), I was thinking about the green and either red or blue

if you'd sell the green set pm me.

and can you answer me if the legends are on top of the caps where you can feel them with your fingers?

I haven't taken them out of package yet. But they look like stickers.
