if you don't care that much about backlighting you could just get a nice PBT set and just forget about the leds

just leave them shining underneath

yeah I might just do that

the colour doesnt match anyway with the rest of my setup

like this for example

$40 <:pepewot:327934404234313739>

yeah those are a bit expensive

but there are way cheaper ones

anywhere I can buy tkl variants?

might save some money since less keycaps <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

the TKL variant is the 87 key one

the problem with cheaper PBT caps is that the typeface might fade away

i like this one

but i mean like

miss the glory days of /r/mechanicalkeyboards tbh

there's no point for me in buying a PBT key cap set for 30$

when i can buy a really good keyboard for 60$

yeah

keycaps already look great on the ones your buying

yeah and they are PBT

based

pbt is like one of the better plastics

i really liked that weeb one from like 5 threads back

but it was sold out and like 60 bucks just for the caps

is that keyboard legit cherry mx switches tho?

yeah

i like this one

but it probably costs like 250$ lmao

hate those esc keycaps

artisans

yeah

cherry mx switches aren't really the best nowdays anyways

its quality though

not really

if you got a new keyboard now with cherry mx blues it'd probably different

not sure if in a bad way or not

this is my only mech keyboard so idk what to compare it to
