Canada though, so shipping isn’t too cheap to the US.

Have we verified that these have Comptec doubleshots? The resemblance to WY-50 keycaps is striking.

Oh, I’m just going from http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=48558.0 which looks pretty much the same. (Also, same ebay seller.)


Also, there’s a WY50 with centered legends?

There's another keycap manufacturer that makes keycaps for cherry with the exact same profile, shape, and stepped-ness that we know of?

There will often be differences, but there are often similarities. I give it even odds that it's them or another oem made these.

Starting bid is really low and attractive. Then you look at the shipping calculator...

looks like there's a cover on the caps, so not much shine?

Looks like all row is same profile. Might be worth it for non QWERTY users.

Tell him to bust out the ol' circular saw and chop off the unneeded top bits, that should lower the price some.
