    The plastic inserts are the problem. They are not dimensionally acurate / stable enough and the stabilizers have friction.

    • @bonesnaps
      @bonesnaps Před 2 lety +16

      I would order these right now if they ditched the plastic inserts. They will affect sound profile, might not be glued in perfectly (they have almost 2,000 sets pre-ordered already, someone is gonna get a dud set for sure which would cause key imbalance,) and could even come loose and need to be glued back in (yikes).
      This just doesn't seem acceptable for a $200 CAD set after shipping, new keycap material or not. They managed to do it proper for the spacebar, so they should just delay the sets until this is perfected on the other modifier keys. Like, there's no chance they are going to meet their 2,000 set orders in August 2022 as it is, despite what their kickstarter page says.
      These keycaps look amazing, but the plastic inserts just looks.. cheap and sloppy. At 8:21 you can just see the yellow glue everywhere LOL. Also kickstarters kinda mega suck because a lot of people have been scammed there before. That said, I'd rather wait and pay the extra 30 bucks to get these once they get new molds and ditch the plastic inserts, and also get to avoid kickstarter in the process. lol

    I just got some in March of 2024 off their website and not kickstarter. The stabilizer issues are solved. I have a cherry MX pink in my spacebar and it is maybe a little sluggish but it still works fine. The glossiness was the selling point for me honestly, but I'm a writer, not a gamer.
    The only complaint I have is that the spacing is a little wonky between the control windows and delete keys.
    These keycaps were exactly what I was looking for and I find it super weird that nobody else makes a glossy keycap. I am a very specific kind of person and they're definitely not for everyone but I love them

    Hipyo I have the greatest idea. What if you went head to head with Glarses to make the heaviest *typing feel* keyboard. So like, springs and whatever.

    I placed an order for a set of these for a very special mechanical keyboard, my Abkoncore AR87. An incredibly special keyboard, weighing in at nearly 7 pounds of machined aluminum, deserves incredibly special keycaps.
    So rather than using my all-stainless steel keycap set. Which were OEM Profile and didn't quite fit the style as this keyboard was really designed to be used with Cherry Profile. I went ahead with this instead! I'm extremely excited to be one of the first with an all-ceramic keycap set in exclusive Crazed Blue.
    In addition to the other mods I've got planned like soldering LEDs to backlight the keycaps etc. It'll be about as custom as it can get and incredibly rare, a crown jewel of a keyboard as it were, that'll be durable enough to last forever and something special I hope to pass down someday.
    They let me know since they got over 4,000 orders, they plan to get them all manufactured and shipped by August-October of this year!!
    May the Thock be with you.

    Looks like this may be the ally of some of those heavier switches.

    are you okay???? A whole bear attack could be super scary. My best guess is you used your pen to write it a nice letter and it left and you used the spring since you no longer need a pen 😌
