Title: Hellboy translucent resin caps
Post by: Khuya on Wed, 02 March 2016, 02:53:40

Bought this from Taobao, just got it today, pretty disappointing with the actual item.  Once mounted on the board, you can't really notice much of the detail, I am sitting like 1 feet away from the keyboard, and all I see is green cap, can't tell what it actually is.

That's a pretty common issue not being able to discern a translucent cap from a distance.

I don't see what's wrong with the cap it looks exactly like the taobao image. buyers remorse i think is your issue  :rolleyes:

I guess from closed up it looks much better.  No remorse as I didn't spend a fortune on it  :)

Most keycaps are so small and the details so fine that they look better from close up.

I have a yellow Hell Boy, and it's fine.  With backlighting on perhaps details fade a bit as the light is so bright shining through.
