iOne lasered keycap quality

[Phaedrus2129]

I don't know if this is universal or not, but the lasered legends on these two prototypes look pretty bad, really dim, and you can feel the letters very distinctly. It's the main reason I'm not using them more.


Anyone who's used a board from iOne with lasered keycaps; Scorpius M10, Adesso MKB-135B, Razer BlackWidow (non-ultimate), etc, can you confirm if this is common to all iOne lasered keycaps, or if I just have some crappy on these samples?

Oddly enough my M10 has just come out of the keyboard archive for various reasons. Now that you mention it, the legends do seem a little more raised than you would expect lasered legends to be. I'm not so sure about dim when new, but they do seem to wear quite badly :-



The processing has made it look better than it really is. This is after about 6 months of heavy use (it used to be my 'board for work). Not all the keys are wearing like this, but enough. Funny looking at which keys are worn and which are not; the Enter key is only slightly worn so it must have been during a long period when I was doing more documentation than "real work". And I'm proud to say that the Backspace key is bright and sparkling like new
