How about that?

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  ^-^

That must be why we've had such a long wait for the Plum sets.  :p

I still have issues with them continuing to use painted backlit keycaps on the Code.

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

Interesting, was half expecting excitement rather than resentment. I received an email from WASD and decided to share with folks that enjoy GMK keycaps :thumb:

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.
