Despite SP's keycaps being **** thin, there's still a handful of Koreans desperately interested in buying if this group buy materializes.

Maybe we could order blanks and ask these guys to do it? Possibly lower price.

I think folks lost interest when KBC said they would do dye subs in the near future...also, the SP dye subs will be more expensive and less durable than the SP double shots.

Why are these less durable? SP Dye subs are made of higher quality PBT plastic.
SP double shots are made of ABS.




Kbdholic said he likes these keycaps. I have also noticed that they are popular among Koreans at OTD.

According to Diatec thin keys feel better on certain switches.
Also Imsto said it is harder to make thin keycaps.

Unfortunately the price including the shipping is killing it for me.
Thankfully to Julle I just managed to get my hands on a topre for nearly the same price.

Can't find it now, but sixty posted a photo of a well-used dye sub key with the lettering worn off. Since that is not possible with double shots, I justified my durability decision as such.

I am actually still interested, as long as it stays around $130 or below.

Luckily I have no problems with my sweat, and my touch is quite light.
