Title: Where can I get a JTK Royal purple set?
Post by: crappy_guitarist on Mon, 29 May 2017, 02:16:45: The title says it all. The only site I found that ever carried it was keypop. I need this for my health.

This pic shows the difference. The ESC key is WASD, rest is JTK Royal Purple.

But WASD is very thin OEM pad printed and JTK is cherry profile dyesub PBT (I mean ABS...). There really is no comparison to be made between the two in terms of quality.

JTK is doubleshot ABS not dyesub pbt

But I agree it is much better than WASD caps.
