Pretty but way too spendy for a set of keycaps.

I made a similar post with another vendor with a similar discount on the same items. That post was promptly deleted.

This is considered cheap in the mechanical keyboard world. Double shot PBT keycaps with enough variations to cover numerous layouts and it comes with a storage case. Good sets easily run over $100.

Right. I just spent over $300 on Stargaze [mekibo.com] sets (base, spacebars, novelties... and an artisan).

This is normal for me. For us.

So what happens when you lose a keycap or one breaks? Will they replace? I

don't know if I want to spend that much on this. $60 is my limit on keycaps.

You just described two nightmare scenarios, but for what it's worth I'd be very surprised if you could get a hold of someone to get you replacements on even these sets.

Obviously in a group buy situation, you're SOL since they're made-to-order.

Here's a primer on mech keyboard group buys if you're interested: https://keyboard.university/100-c.../group-buy

I'd be curious to know how many g4m3rz click through that site and realize there's a world outside BestBuy-bought keyboards and Cherry MX switches. And to hear their hollow Blues scraping away at themselves as they reply...

Funnily enough I bought the Ikki68 Aurora Stargaze in the past couple of weeks. The good thing about this hobby is that you can often sell your stuff on the aftermarket for more than you paid which is why I ordered two Ikki68; to justify and cover the cost of the first one

Nice discount. I have seen mainstream keycaps and keyboard from big retailer (like Amazon) go down in price recently. For a set that covers a lot of popular keyboard layout, this is a really good price.

Thanks for posting the deal! I thought I was gonna be stuck with pudding keycaps on my upcoming gmmk pro. Board was already too expensive and $100 for keycaps made me just shake my head.
