QUOTE(kaiserreich @ Oct 17 2013, 03:57 PM) Looks like SP sphericals. Gonna order once it hit Amazon JP or TB. You guys who want super thick keycaps, this is thicker than GMK man. I just want it coz it is spherical. Yup this is very thick, and the finishing is already oily look, so it doesnt matter if i will turn oily or not in the future because it already does.

SA caps comes with 2 options, Gloss or matte. This comes with Gloss finishing. Very excited, but don't know how to order yet. Seems like Diatec charging 2000yen to replacement the keycaps

QUOTE(dadudeneverabides @ Oct 17 2013, 03:11 PM) And before you bloody say that you'll bloody buy the keyboard and you'll only use that particular set of keys for the time being, listen to an addict's confession here: It only took two weeks to realize that you'd wanna change the keycaps. Two weeks. Then you realize that you kinda need a TKL version because you don't use the numpad much... then you saw the Poker II and feel that even the arrow keys are under utilized... and then you hear about this legendary thing called the HHKB. All this while you start reading about PBT and ABS and POM, and maybe you start thinking that those particular switch type isn't really that optimal... Maybe you start thinking about Dvorak layout and how it'll increase your WPM. Before you know it, you're like a junkie; spending all his money on keyboards and typing away on forums/message boards and preaching the Good News™. Damn....I've bought my 1st MKB (QF TK) for home use. A Gamer KB with non-standard layout etc....I know - but it fits my original purpose - a TKL keyboard for gaming at home... Before long - that QF TK got disconnected from my gaming machine and migrate to be full time laptop keyboard replacement when I work at home. I type so much more for work and the MKB feeling is just too awesome and too wasted when limited to just hitting WASD + Spacebar. Now - every hour spent in office with the frankly horrible Dell membrane makes me miss my QF TK...and the temptation to buy a KB for office use grows.....

Please let me know if u r going to get this keycaps in the future, I would like to test it out. P/S: this will works just fine with the SA profile "power button" key that you had lol.

Korean kbd maker knows how to earn good money lol

Cyber-cafe gaming (it's more fun to shout at people) and office keyboard. Once you get used to the feels there's no way that you'd be willing to go back to mundane membrane keyboards anymore.

With all the mechanical keyboards around, I still put some love for my Apple wireless keyboard because I just love anything with Aluminum
