    Neat... Think the con set looks better though.

    Their sets are 70$ and up. I'm wagering the sets going to be closer to $100 due to licensing costs.

    On a side note, I made my own Autobot and Decepticon keys out of resin a few months back.

    That seems a bit expensive for some caplets.
    Nice customs though.

    Thanks.

    You definitely don't want to check out GMK sets... Or licensed sets from Drop... Some SA sets too. Retail is typically 100 and up.

    Some folks in the mech keyboard community will pay hundreds for a set of caps, and in GMKs case, wait a couple years for group buy only sets.

    Just got my sets today and did a quick unboxing set of photos, and a close up on some of the novelty keys.

    Out of curiosity, what do these keys looks like on an RGB keyboard? I'm planning to buy their artisan painted keycaps and maybe the Decepticon key set and convert my old first gen Corsair K70 (red lights only) to a Decepticon board. These keys obviously don't have any transparency for the letters to light up, but I'm concerned that the white and purple keys might have some light bleed and change the color of the whole key when lit.

    These keysets aren't ortho-friendly, so it took me a while to get around to getting some basic boards to display them on.

    Very happy with them overall, but I really would have liked to see more novelty coverage. The "Heroic Autobot" and "Evil Decepticon" novelties are nice, but they only thing to swap them with in a standard build is the enter key, and the transformation battle-cries definitely win out there.

    Autobots at least got a decent text novelty on the left-hand side.
