First let's note...



Which is great for anyone who did didjamatic's suggested key remap.

And queue the Darth Vader Music...

I'm not sure, have a see for yourself



I can tell you that the original keycaps have a better texture to them. The ABS ones are smooth and you can feel the letters if you run your finger over them.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Rather would have keycaps that last forever than look good.

I figured, why the heck not.



The white on black is pretty nice actually.

I'd rather have keys that look good since nothing lasts forever.

It's a Zen thing.
