i like my clears. they have a firm but giving feel to them, as though each keypress is a tender embrace upon my fingertip

not as fun as the clacky buckling springs though

theyre more than just bad

they're backlit ABS keys that aren't doubleshot. The keys are clear and the black background & letter outline is basically painted on. It starts coming off almost immediately.



I know you can get WASD boards with no keycaps then buy your own doubleshots, but I don't know if they sell codes with no keycaps. Either way you're almost better just snagging something equivalent on assdrop that doesn't have stupid defects

if you dont need markings on your keys, which you dont, because you know how to type, then who cares if the markings rub off

fn keys are terrible. I'm not paying a bunch of money for a sub-par keyboard.
