The rest were actually pretty decent. Some total duds but most of them were random black caps, some with Japanese legends and a lot of nice number keys but too lazy to take more pics :P

Yup, actually really surprised after hearing about the bad luck others had but this bag turned out alright.

I would buy any angled (R1/R2/R4) SA you don't want. :)

Keycap experiments need caps...

Total noob, what do you mean by angled xD. Also, MX Alp or Topre.

So orange and blue Awesome Faces are never to be seen again? Well that looks like another dream crushed, spit on, and buried in a shallow grave.

Not like I've been lusting after those things for two years  :'(

Question is, is it worth the gamble? I was intrigued but I'm rocking back and forth between hitting the checkout.

I think it was worth it. And the keys I don't want, someone will.

Honestly I think most people kind of regretted buying these last time round, for the money you can almost get an actual set of keys. Better off dropping a little bit more cash for something you can actually use.

I'd prefer to pay for a set, than to pay for a surprise, the first last for a long time, the later just a few minutes. But that is only me. For that money I can get some of the modifiers sets available from Germany. I think that is much better than some random novelties, and for the space bars now I am using mostly PBT, I just cannot tolerate the shiny spots.

Angled like these:

Should all be MX stems. SA are thick with spherical (as opposed to cylindrical) tops.

You can't complain, it is just the cost of crap, but the value.

I bought mine last year because I was going to try using a slight acetone mix to dye abs caps and figured this was the cheapest way per cap to get a good chunk for testing.  Then [CTRL]ALT did the bro set and didn't need to dye caps.

That's a lot of space bars?  Most I ever got was 4 or 5.

A little bit of a lot of colours.

Did you find anything else of interest?

Hello abennet

I am missing a key from my PuLSE set so I was wondering if I can buy the SA PuLSE keys you got from your crap bag.

I would really appreciate it.

EDIT: Mainly need the 'S' key

For a random bag it has a very good balance of colors…
Do you think they make bags like in some candy store?

Nice haul! It's been said before, but they should have got an artisan keycap from each vendor and put them in random bags :)
