I really love the deep thock but you can hear the metallic ting on the spacebar and backspace.

[dpiecemeal]

Just backed on their page! ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS ✨ These even sound better than notorious GMK keycaps 😅

[hollow]

The most surprise part is that the long keys like spacebar still able to jump back up with the weight

[MangoTangoFox]

I LOVE the main caps sound, but in all the sound tests of these, the space bar and other longer keys have that metallic ting to it. If I got a set I'd definitely look into adding car dampener into those caps.

These keycaps are live right now on Awekeys Kickstarter page!

This is awesome, thank you for making this video. I really want a set, and I hope they become available after the kickstarter.

[samgao]

Yeah, even if the spacebar bounces back up, it's sluggish. You need something like 75g+ on the spacebar to have it feel snappy. I love the sound, but you need to +20-30% spring weight for a snappy experience similar to ABS/PBT caps.

Thanks for 7:30, that's the problem I'm having, double-registering space bar inputs. Now I understand why.

[marjunraposon]

Love the overall look, but it's unfortunate that the set's kitting is pretty limited. It would have been a buy for me.

[krisrobitzsch]

The shifts and definitely the space bar have a noticeable metallic ping

[sxnthwave]

Not a huge fan of the spacebar/mod ping. I'd have to look into ways to reduce that. Its kinda cool as a novelty thing, but that would get pretty annoying to me as a daily driver. Definitely a very cool thing to see some progress in terms of aluminum as a keycap material.

[PorkShark]

For $210, I don't want no recycled metal. I want the freshly mined stuff. Who cares about reducing my environmental footprint

[katarixy]

They sound great but I feel like with some of my acrylic or metallic keycaps. There is the occasional ping in some keys that can be kind of annoying.

[lanycera]

I think the metallic ping is super off-putting! It will get so annoying longterm if they don't fix it (somehow).

[GDX]

Sounds like it could get annoying after some time.

[akabu]

Love it but im still having second thoughts about durability of the engraving. How's your thoughts about that??

[ryantaylor]

have you tried dampening the modifier keys? if yes, what does that sound like?

[mr]

Where did you get the IXPE foam for the QK65?

[skidrenz]

Ano kaya ang process ng pag print ng legends?

[joshuagray]

Just got a set of these in and I am not in lovce with them. They are fine, I guess, but they sound worse than ABS, don't work right with box switches, and some of the caps ping pretty badly.

Absolutely do not recommend these at all for the price.
