Imagine the filthy amount of money drop could get if they mass produced Perestroika and Striker sets. One only hopes.

I found a pretty good method on getting GMK sets faster.

















Be occupied enough that you forget you were even in the GB.

Editing in this one is amazing. Love this style and format Andy!!!

Been using DCX for a minute as our house testing cap for compatible boards, they kinda gud for the money. Actually better overall quality than either of the GMK sets I'd gotten in recently.

[DaveAlkema]

Something to note about the DCX keycaps, Keybored tested them, and they do suffer from north-facing interference. So if you're on a board that's north-facing, be sure your switches are long pole, or moulded in a way that they won't interfere, same as if you were dealing with Cherry profile.

Great video! Would love to see you take a look at the PBTfans WoB or other sets for your opinion

DCX will likely go thru a few QC revisions over the next 1-2 years so likely we'll see better legend consistency over time. Thoughts on DMK (if you've used a set) vs the current DCX or GMK in terms of legend quality/consistency? They all sound virtually the same due to being ABS and the same thickness with Cherry profile, so if sound is all anyone is after I'd say DCX is the best value. Cheers!

what website do you use to track production times of GMK sets?

[_iboji]

The one thing I don’t like about GMK is the shine but otherwise as close as DCX gets GMK remains the gold standard for color accuracy for me.

[MlkXiu]

That's wild. I got one wrong keycap in my GMK red Sam, asked drop to send me the missing key, they sent me a whole new set.

[WltzMTB]

Nice video! would you rather lubed gateron CJ or kfa pink robin factory lubed? also what sound profile would you call the kfa pink robin thocky, creamy, clacky?

[Immortal]

Great video Andy! Loved how entertaining and informative this video is!

I paused and now I am commenting below and I think they sound the same ty loveurcontent

Dunno who will see this but I've run into long-term issue with my WoB DCX set. I loved the sound and feel, and I also think out of all the ABS doubleshot sets I have, they shine the best. This is due to them having a softer, smoother feel with a slight glossy sheen to them. I was happy and working towards a hand-shined look that I wanted to spend a few years working towards.

Sadly, I've noticed that the white plastic in my WoB set has started to change color on the inside of the cap (not on top). It looks like a marbly brown/white. Something is happening to the plastic. A reaction to skin oil over time? Faulty plastic? No clue. What ended up happening though was this visual weirdness seemed to match perfectly with the stems becoming brittle and loose. The only way I noticed this happening was having my small shift and F keys pop-off while using it. Placing them back on, I felt the stem give a little and saw that it cracked. Removing all the other caps led to me seeing the same issue with like 80% of them.

Not sure if this is a small batch issue, degradation over time for the brand in general or what. Drop didn't want to see them more than a few pictures I provided and just gave me $5 store credit. Considering they are now under Corsair and I bought them when they weren't, okay, kinda understandable.

I've had to move on. I want to get their new Sapphire set as a lower price option but have decided against it. I think for me it's now, Keykobo, GMK then JTK depending on what colors I want.

[Theipodrookie]

I've had DCX WOB for a while and have no issues! Spacebars were straight too, which I can't say has been consistent on my GMK sets.

[JoshTechgamer]

Yeah I've been buying gmk keycaps lately they're really expensive from drop but I did buy the cyber dcx keycaps for a cyberpunk theme keyboard great video gave a like

[Jeremy-tfdx]

Sound is pretty comparable but I’ll stick with gmk for the colors and the legend alignment

[SDXStudio]

I think you're spot on about references. If I'm not directly comparing I usually don't notice small stuff. Yes, I'll see the spaces between letters but I've seen issues on GMK sets as well. My GMK Oblivion has thinning on certain legends and on certain days, it drives me nuts. Other days I completely forget about it.

[youtubelam]

is the gmk white on black on drop web same as the “GMK CYL WOB (WHITE ON BLACK)”?

Damn man your edits in this one are top notch. Love it 🙏
