myself work in industry that part of my product is steel material related. The cost of material different for 0.3mm is about 30% already. That why i recommend material that is more price friendly. And if really have such cap with 0.7mm or 1mm you can bend it with hand or finger so it is durable enough. Unless you try to hammer it.

i think i can live without the perfect clean look. just hope it comes with blue switch coz dying to try it...
already have red and brown. poison spread so fast.

Wa... bro, you just got yourself one keyboard a few days ago and you're already gonna get another one????
Slow down bro, your wallet is crying   

Do you have any "tactile bump" when you "press" your girl friend's boobs? That's what squarebox trying to emphasize lol.

Red are soft and smooth to use/type on. Like boobs =X
Red need some time to get use to.
After learning not to bottom out on the switches, you will then enjoy reds.

i have to agree on this, Red seriously need some times to get used to it, and important fact is that don't bottom out on the switch, then you'll enjoy red.

but i don't have comment on boobs thou, since i never touch one so i cannot comment. still a virgin =X

Is it compatible with BWU? And how much will one cost? I'm interested. PM me if got any details. =)

As long as the keyboard is using Cherry MX switches, it will fit. But what im concerned is the height.....
That is soooo freaking cool......
But my touch typing is still not that geng to be using that keyboard....

wats the cheapest brown switch keyboard?

Must fullsize/normal layout? If isn't, then I think this should be it.
Should be less than RM100(b4 ship) even using agent's rate.
Double shots, full-metal casing and made in UK.

u got taobao link?

if you can place order like 100 unit, it will be cheap, if 1 unit/set, i think the price will be godlike.

And yes, Standard are DCS.

it is lasered keycap, the font will appear dirtied after certain period of time. the font will not fade easily.

added:

btw shiny? you serious? i rarely use my alt, until now, not yet shiny althou the font color changed, but my spacebar shiny once already, and i use wet sandpaper to get back the texture.

Realforce Warranty can be claim thru me. =)

People shouldn't worrying about shiny keys.
The keys will all eventually turning shiny after some time.
It's all about typing habits.

I've known people who got shiny keys only after a week of use on Filco.
Even PBT will get shiny.
