Price is too good to pass up to splash a little color on this white board.  Let me know how the side print yellows are.  And I wish they had more of the lavender available right now.

**Edit:
Yellow Side Print just ordered. Now the waiting game starts.  I'll get some pics up once they arrive.

Damn they're some nice sets for the price... especially the front-printed ones.
Would love some but unfortunately live in the UK =/

Decent keys, decent price, crap legends. $14 is what they are worth.

Crappy legends certainly will bring the price down, but I sorta like the side printed ones. That almost makes up for the less-than-stellar legends, but not quite :)

Blanks sound like a no-brainer to me for a smoking deal.

The seller sent me a message saying the a set of side printed yellows are on the way to my door after my dissatisfaction with the lavender.  Let's hope for the best!

I guess that the squeaky wheel adage holds true.  I picked up the 'blue' sideprints and wasn't too happy with how the legends wiped away at a touch, though couldn't be bothered to make issue of it.  Hope the yellows work out better for you.

The yellows arrived and everything about the side printed texts are better.  The alignment of the legends are especially better, imo

Actually just received mine today, as well.  Got them on the board this afternoon, but I left work shortly after.  Tomorrow is judgement day.

They're a little thinner than the base Leopold keys and the print isn't amazing, but for 13.99 I'm not complaining.  Finally something to spruce up the plain white board a little.

I got the red set.  I like that they're really vibrant.  They don't match the more orangey red from the RGB modifier set I got from WASD keyboards, as they're a bit deeper red and not as orange, but they look good besides that.  I think someone mentioned it before but they came in a KBC box with a key puller that's the same red plastic.

Be careful with the red puller if you want to preserve your keys. I took the puller and rubbed a piece of wood in between it to effectively sand it down and not harm the current key caps.

This.  The keycap puller is a bit rough in the middle.  I also found that mine (at least) had trouble grabbing both sides of the key for removal.

Mine had some trouble but I thought it was nothing to really write off about.  It almost seems like the pullers were cut from out from its frame with scissors, not giving a clean cut and results in dimples if nothing is done.

The one i received with my order was very roughly molded.  Took a file to it to smooth it.  The one I received from WASD is much better quality but you still have to be careful using it to avoid scratching keys.

If anyone is selling their side printed sets, let me know.  I'm looking for colors besides YELLOW and ORANGE.
