Why does it look like all blank Unicomp keycaps had the characters sanded off?
**** knows, i'll check tomorrow in person. IRL they look good (though tolerances are russia-grade). and my cell phone camera is far from perfect. maybe tomorrow i'll make better pics.

These are supposed to be PBT - it can't be from getting shiny quickly is it?

They are supposed to be.

My earlier comment is not restricted to this board either - many blank Unicomp sets look like the characters were scrubbed off in the factory.  Then again it could be the camera picking up oils/etc.


You're right they do look scrubbed..

I guess the only safe solution is to get Bright colors only.. that way it'll still look good.

i wonder where are dante's posts? he was right, legends look like they were sanded off on all keycaps besides the dark red one and yellow ones.
