Got keycool's new batch of rainbow PBT keycaps. Show the pics of the font, just wondering how this font will be accepted by users...
Got 100 sets of each model.

Any votes ?

Not so sure about the R and the Y, but most of them look fine to me.

At least they are mostly consistent across the board.

I'd have to second what rowdy said. The R and Y just looks outta place. Like the rest though

I'll be honest, that font is horrible. It looks too much like the CM QFR or Razer font. Ew. And the function row's sublegends are weird. IF they're not on a Keycool board with those functions, they'll be totally out of place.

Too bad since I was so intrigued by the rainbow.

Also those Alt legends aren't centered compared to the FN key.

argh, what have been seen can not be unseen! Those Alt keys are really annoying, now thay you mentioned them. However, why does everyone hate the cm qfr font? I kind of like it, it's just a bit too much. This font is however slightly more subtle. I actually really like it

Actually if you look at it more, Tab and the QWERTY row aren't centered the same. Same thing with caps lock and ASDF row.

The bottom modifier row is all centered differently. And then the arrows are aligned with the num pad but not the rest of that modifier row.

No....don't like that at all. Gets worse the more I look too.

... you're evil. I still like the font though

A lot of layouts have a lot of variety in how the legends are aligned for some reason. Always irks me

(Also made me spend a ton of time making sure I have everything aligned properly on my own layout …)

It could be worse. Both CTRL and ALT look really weird, but well … I just like simple and clean fonts. This is not for me but in the end it all comes down to personal preference.

those backspace and enter seems to be printed to big...... for me

I hate the stacked legends on the f row. They are pointless off a keycool board. All wrong for ducky filco etc.. :/

lightsout714 · « **Reply #13 on:** Sat, 14 June 2014, 03:17:02 »

Not for me at all.

xuanwumen · « **Reply #14 on:** Sat, 14 June 2014, 05:34:07 »

Thanks for all the opinions...
Seems this time keycool did not get the majority side..

)

Guess i need to think about getting them off my hands with discount prices and try restock some other stuff..

xuanwumen · « **Reply #15 on:** Sat, 14 June 2014, 05:59:13 »

This font keycaps may be more easliy to be accepted, I guess...

Kayla · « **Reply #16 on:** Sat, 14 June 2014, 21:42:20 »

The font is nice but the rainbow doesnt blend together as well as the other fade set. Makes it look more like a vomit board imo.

Here is [to me] an aesthetically pleasing Keycool found on Taobao:

those shift legends are gross but everything else looks pretty good

I believe these are dyesub.
