Wowzer! Good spot. Who knew? I won't go into my rant about upside down switches and GMK caps, but seems like a good deal. I'd just take the caps off the board and put them on a custom ^-^

Even $50 Magicforce boards come with double shot caps now.

Post by: Hyde on Thu, 18 May 2017, 10:31:37: I hope they tested this thoroughly before releasing this. Costar stabs are known to grind on the inside of thick keycaps.

However rumor is that in the new Cooler Master Masterkey S (come with thick PBT) that the grinding issue has been fixed.

Maybe Costar has found a way?

I can see that. I thought it was a bit weird that the 100% is the same ($280) price as the 60%.

No Silent Red option on the GMK editions.

I mean it is a good price for both the board and set and definitely a great starting point for someone getting into mechs.
