Is the $51 dollar some other option that I'm not seeing, or did they change the price already?

Will a base keyset + Tsangan set be enough to cover this keyboard with proper profiles? And at $60 (for me in US), this seems like a pretty good deal - what's your opinion?

Keycool almost always has medium PBT caps. They're a bit rough, which I prefer, but some may like the smoother ones on the Duckies.

Also note that their aftermarket keycaps tend to be really tight (the extra WASD and arrow keys on the KC84, and the blank PBT sets they sell on Banggood) as compared to their stock keycaps which come off easily.

Might depend on the board/its batch. Mine fit without a problem (good fit, neither tight nor loose) on the TK which they remain on, but I know that Clears, for instance, tend to have larger stems than usual.
