Gen.s Gem Keycaps at techkeys
« on: Wed, 30 December 2015, 16:00:39 »
Can anyone confirm if "cintrine" colored gem found at http://techkeys.us/collections/artisan/products/gem-keycaps are they the same as the "ruby" caps from massdrop that were sold here: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/gem-artisan-keycaps ?

I know that they appear to vary in color depending on lighting, but I'm mostly asking because citrine and ruby are technically two different colored stones. I just want to get what is exactly pictured here: http://imgur.com/a/H8fJw and not get something entirely different.

Tried reaching out to gen.s and r/mk, but have yet to receive any kind of confirmation so I thought I'd ask here.

Update: gen.s confirmed they're the same.


Thanks.

They told me they don't have the massdrop cap to compare.

Maybe ask the maker himself just to verify this info?

Maybe Hwood has an idea because if I am correct, he was originally running a GB for these gem caps.

Just got confirmation from gen.s that they're the same.

They probably changed the gem stone name since it's more orange than it is ruby red.
