Wow I had no idea it was so thick, I can't believe I missed out on this. If anyone is regretting their purchase and wants to sell it to me or if you have a crap bag of various thick PBT caps you don't want or use I would gladly take them off your hands for $$$ or trade.

Also anyone have a comparison photo on how much taller this profile is against say a standard OEM or cherry profile?

Yeah, you can see a comparison here; http://imgur.com/a/1p5Ex

Can't remember which profile it was compared against, and I don't have time to check it right now.

If you get $32.70 worth of pleasure out of a small bit of plastic with some random logo and a number on it, then yes.  Otherwise no. 

..and DAMN they made $3270 off those.  I'd number my caps, but I'm not pretentious enough.

They look to me like the exact same caps (shape and thickness) that they used to see as function keys when they first started up, I had an F row in blue with those shaped caps and didn't like them much at all

I got one #021 here I see this more as supporting a UK based keycap manufacturer plus the discount will be nice when they restock and get fully running, but thats just me thats my reasons behind buying it, plus the QWER people have been pretty kind and such, anyway I like it and that all tha matters, also it makes a nice ESC key :p

"It is an exclusive, individually numbered, UV printed key cap, which is exclusively tied to your customer account, which will provide the owner with special discounts, exclusive products, priority ordering and QWERkey-owner prize raffles."

Seems a bit vague..

Hey man, props to Qwer for tying something different! At it seems to have been pretty successful, so congrats to them!
