i dunno, i use my numpads a lot but not my home clusters, so having stuff squished makes sense to me especially for a travel board

yeah the whole aftermarket keycap thing is a ripoff

it's small batch ~bespoke~ manufacturing so there is an actual cost to bear, but everyone involved is taking a massive cut since 100$+ sets are the norm and nerds have money

since these are only produced once or twice, it gets even worse on the secondary market. pram's round 5 stuff could probs go for four figgies since he has the cool colorways

lol at first I thought it was a keyboard. just the caps for that price? they can go gently caress off.

because each key is its own mould if its double shot and each row has a different shape



blank key cap sets are not particularly expensive

pop a key off and flip it over. if there's more than one color of plastic then its worth something. maybe.

also in that vein, having different angles for each row of keys, plus different dies for each key adds up if you are doing doubleshot keys

if it has mx blacks the switches are worth money, dont think ne1 cares much about the caps

pok3rs have layers so you still have access to f keys and whatever

not sure if you'd have much of an ergonomic advantage over a proper tkl board unless you have the hands of a 6 year old. might make sense if you need to carry a board around with you but even then it's edge case-y

the stock caps sometimes come in pbt but in any case the font is such garbage that changing should be on your to do list

you can grab the rgb version on assdrop for 129-138 depending on the switches you like but if it was my money i'd buy something else unless i really wanted a gimmick board



at least that one doesn't have a thrashy iso layout
