Reply to Why You Can't Make Holy Bobas (or Bykos) Work. A Small Study on Halo (& Polia) Stems with Boba Tops by Miiyoo
This is kind of old news. It was known that halo stems have changed, but I don't think anyone did measurements. V1 stems are still out there from other people. It's just hard to differentiate until you test with a boba top.

Yeah I think GB's through ALF x Scott went bad during those times. Some people got there stuff on time, others not so lucky.

And some sets will not even have an r2 so clones are the next big thing since buying aftermarket is not really viable and they jacked up the prices. ( Looking at you GMK Mizu )

If you're gonna post a group buy and collect THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of dollars you better pay the cost to play as a designer and get Pantones.

Found some GMK Mictlan clones on Amazon got it in 2 days.... not amazing by any means but feel great and on my board NOW not 2-3 years from now . I'll still probably get one second hand since I love the set

Nothing wrong with liking the shiny look, but somebody else's shine seems weird.

The magic keyboard has it's uses. Out of my three keyboards I've had in the past 3 months, it is the one that I can type that fastest with fewer mistakes. But I love my mech more.

Wait till you find out about r/mechmarket. And that many consider ABS shine (from use) to be a desirable quality in secondhand keycaps.

I cannot find any that have a plastic shield for an LED ring... Probably my search query is bad... Do you have a link or a good search query?

Reply to comment by A_Random_Username_0 in Just set up the 38% Megalodon Macropad with Baby Kangaroo switches and Epomaker Airy Black ESA keycaps by the-first-98-seconds
Yes, taking a keycap off this thing is a trick -- my tool doesn't fit around the tight clearances. But I haven't had any keycap rubbing, perhaps due to the ESA tall&narrow profile?
I haven't tested any other switches or caps on this. I pretty much knew which of both I was going to use when I ordered it, and I've had them both ready to go for a month now.

P shaped, to my finger. I haven't used the U4T, but compared to Kailh browns and Aliaz Silents they have a smoother action. The spec sheet is here: https://www.gateron.co/products/gateron-baby-kangaroo-tactile-switch-set

People buy second hand key caps? That just sounds... gross for some reason.
