Dang thats a decent price, hard to tell the amount of shine but they look pretty good, wonder how hard a black moogle would be to source

personally the best way to deal with the bottom row mods is go for a RGB set and grab a spacebar from another source (ivan's GB for spacebars will be handy for that)

Yeah thats  true, I just love the all black sets. Always wanted one but the bottom row is a pain. I'm not super into multi colored sets.

Are the mods off centered stems on these? Is that the problem?

Just ctrl, alt, and win have off centered stems which creates the small problem

Dirt is no issue, just pop em in the dishwasher or do the denture tablet routine

The only issue when buying caps is shine, and fortunately, these don't look that bad. Some wear, but not countless hours to the point of smoothness

Yeah shine sucks, I had a brand new set that was beautiful, tempted but the no moogle part sucks. I want something I can use now.

Anywhere to buy RGB's beside the classifieds?

Thanks. I think I'm scared of sherry. I'll have a look though. Appreciate the help.

There are two ongoing GB's (feng and Dubsgalore) you should check them out if you're interested.  Both are Cherry profile, but different colors etc.

Be careful - look at F6. There is a chip. I was thinking about pulling the trigger on this but saw that.

Not sure if its a chip or just dirty

You can always ask the seller about it
