New g20 keycaps from pimpmykeyboard.

I smell a new GB with dye-subbed pbt caps.

Awww no yellow :(

Also one of their pictures shows orange, but it is not available in the colour dropdown.

In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

You're right. They could probably 'shop it.

Beg pardon, but what is the difference apart from appearance? IE it's just another DSA in a way. What makes them unusually attractive?

Looks like they are flat on top.

Heh. I have tons of flat keycaps that I can't sell.

Even if I force desktop mode they still force mobile right back at me

Because what I think when I sit down at my Code is always 'Man I wish this thing felt more like a featureless chiclet keyboard'.

I vaguely remember Sifo said these feels terrible.

But we need another confirmation.  :P

Looks are pretty important in keycaps, as far as I'm concerned

I don't know how these keys feel, but they definitely look pretty bad, so very bad

I bought a set of these, and apparently I'm a unicorn because I actually like flat caps. These feel pretty nice but I really wish they had legends.

You could carve small legends on the edges, but I've never seen any successful custom legend attempts :)

Although since the caps are flat and large, small amateurly carved legends could be authentic/fun, not a good idea tho

They're not absolute **** but I would never ever use a full board with them. It started as "gamer" novelty to be able to quickly find certain clusters and keys faster (but what ****ing noob actually has trouble with that?) so I don't see why they're offering full sets. The texture is slightly above average for ABS but it's still ABS :P

Cylindricals with low roughness are still the best typing surface. Is like silk under your tips.

I've thought about that. I've also considered finding a local place with a laser engraver and taking my board to them. If I can't have doubleshot at least I can have something that won't wear off. It's hard to justify doing that when I know in another week I'll have put my crap-bag all-SA R3 set on, though.

These look awful to type on, but even if they were fine to type on, I still think they're ugly as sin.

I don't understand the appeal of these at all. If you just want colored blanks why go for the wonky profile?

Ugly and uncomfortable, there is no reason to get them.
