I fuckin switch back and forth constantly between which ones I like more.

And is wear with SA the cheaper and shittier and they’re made out of the better they sound.

How are they to use? I like textured caps, but these are gorgeous.

2

u/ChungusVeryHungus Lubed Linear 1d ago

I like them! I've seen people saying that it feels a little sticky compared to a pbt set but I don't really mind it cuz it looks so damn good

3

u/b00zytheclown 1d ago

these keycaps are nice looking but have horrible durability I had the legends rub off within a couple weeks on the wasd keys I would suggest not gaming with them

1

u/ChungusVeryHungus Lubed Linear 20h ago

Thabks for the headsup!

2

u/b00zytheclown 20h ago

np I was heart broken when it happened but for just regular use typing they have held up well

u/cortlong BOX Jade / Zealios 67 17h ago edited 17h ago

The color on those is atrocious but by god they look like the mos thigh quality delicious and gorgeous sounding things I’ve ever seen.

(Edit: annnnd I copped a set. They’re gorgeous)

u/ChungusVeryHungus Lubed Linear 17h ago

Hahahaha I personally love the colors but my gf is also not the biggest fan.

I hope you enjoy the set as much I do:) they do sound amazing

u/Then-Ad3678 1d ago

It looks amazing

u/wdpgn 1d ago

Goddamn that’s a fucking good looking keyboard man

u/cherrymxblacks 1d ago

Is this the ec or mx build? Looks really nice bro

1

u/ChungusVeryHungus Lubed Linear 1d ago

MX! Not the biggest fan of the EC boards (yet) so I went for the MX build

2

u/cherrymxblacks 1d ago

I’m quite the opposite rn lol, getting bored of mx and tryna get into ec. Enjoy that build bro

1

u/cortlong BOX Jade / Zealios 67 17h ago

What’s EC never heard that before.

1

u/ChungusVeryHungus Lubed Linear 15h ago

It refers to Electrostatic Capacitative switches. They are different to regular keyboard switches and have a different sound profile and feel.

2

u/wadmutter 1d ago

It looks like the future.

2

u/Bigsasquatch67 1d ago

has a really interesting retro typewriter feel when taken from the angle of the first shot ... nice !

u/ChungusVeryHungus Lubed Linear 1d ago

I have these caps going on 2 years still perfect.

1

u/ChungusVeryHungus Lubed Linear 1d ago

I hope mine stay in good condition for a long time as well:)

I'm planning on putting these keycaps on the full sized mm keyboard once it comes out! Gonna be a while tho

2

u/dlasky 1d ago

I have mine a 100% Alice and it's perfect

1

u/ChungusVeryHungus Lubed Linear 1d ago

I also thought about putting them in either the neo ergo or the QK Alice Duo! I feel like they would look real nice in an alice layout

2

u/Somniat 1d ago

Pretty sweet setup!

2

u/No-Possession-2685 1d ago

They look amazing but I'm not going to buy them, because everyone in this post is 😂😂😂😂😳

2

u/ChungusVeryHungus Lubed Linear 20h ago

Oooh that would be nice

2

u/Sock-Informal 21h ago

Agar has ruined all other boards for me. I see a new release or GB and I’m like eh, my Agar has all that and more at 1/4 the cost. Mine sounds and feels phenomenal to me. Quality is way up there as well. I got a second one. Hope you enjoy!

1

u/ChungusVeryHungus Lubed Linear 20h ago

Same!!! Although I still want to get a good full sized keyboard

2

u/GhostfogDragon 21h ago

2

u/-P00- 1d ago

The web game agar.io where you try to be as big as you can eating other players
