Are those really POM keycaps on the Noppoo? I am skeptical. Never seen backlit POM before.
Please consider carefully before you decide to comment, for Jesus.

I don't think they'd say it's POM if it weren't. The black surface will be some kind of paint, not POM though. The transparent part will be POM.

Very similar to what Deck was doing. Basically Painted POM that has the paint lazered off for the legends.

No one said anything about the doubleshots. Are they worth it?

I guess you're right:

Quote
Will the letters on the keycaps wear off eventually?

NEVER! Characters can't chip off the key caps or wear down because we use a sublimated negative printing process which drives the ink into the plastic keycaps at 525°F. This means permanent printing from the inside out, not just on the top, and gives the letters a permanent place inside the plastic.

I can't seem to find any pictures of worn Deck caps, maybe I was thinking Black Widow :P

Worn to the point that the legends are no longer discernable?

They look quite a bit like Tai Hao.  Albeit with a Windows logo, which they said they could not do for the current GB due to licencing issues.

OEM profile - if that floats your boat (I don't mind it - there is a discussion here about it).
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Pretty sure its 100% taihao. Those windows (or not windows) legends are a teltale sign

It's clearly Tai Hao, and it's white with green text.
