Did you know; Before WW2, Germany purchased their metals from the Soviets and purchased their jet fuel components from the Brits. The USA, France, Germany, India, UK and others are performing Freedom of Movement operations in the South China Sea in response to China's artificial islands which are being constructed in an attempt to artificially extend their border into international waters. 40%+ of the worlds goods are shipped through the region and China wants to control it. We are now performing full blown training operations in The Black Sea. The UN Security Council and the US State Department have recognized and discussed measures regarding the over 3 million people being illegally detained in China for their beliefs. There are places in China such as Foshan where child prostitution is legal. China has the largest organ transplant market in the world but no donor program. Imagine providing funding and resources to the enemy in exchange for some plastic bits.

Facts they have hard times for whatever reason. My ak84s shipped with linear red switches when i selected the chocolate browns for whatever reason and they refused even sending me the switches i ordered and said they couldnt give me store credit because it was a kickstarter. ???

The foam mod is essential to any build. The sound becomes amazing, but better than that, the keyboard becomes highly flammable and can actually explode if you puncture the batteries. Which for me is a nice plus.

I wonder what the silicone keycaps would sound like with clicky switches?

[@dangerm52]

I've never gotten a keyboard before. The description of the keys and their texture is really interesting to me. If I had the money I'd definitely give them a run for a year to give a go at describing the after state. I see this video is from a year ago already though. Has anyone ever gotten back to you about the keys after using them all this time? Sorry I don't really know ANYTHING about the technical side of mechanical keyboards, but I just enjoy learning about the depth of peoples' hobbies that I've never experienced before :0

[@ToysForTheGods]

I would actually like to try this whole setup with the rubber keycaps as an office keyboard. Would probably change the stabs and lube the switches, mainly out of old habits but I actually like the muted sound of this.

[@TBSxDRUMS]

I hope they make those silicone keycaps a permanent item for sale. I wanted them, but was not about to pledge to the Kickstarter for the board and all that money just for the free caps lol.

[@williammidgley3905]

I love that you say they're a previous sponsor and then immediately hold nothing back about their negatives. This is what reviewing should be!

[@monggomen123]

Have you ever tried the silicone keycaps with click bar switches? It works wonders and the sound goes from annoyingly high pitch to pleasantly deep and crisp. I have it in my current RK84 build fitted with Navy Blue and it’s amazing.

[@brendanbush2174]

That material used for the squishy keycaps is very similar if not the same as the switches on the oven the previous owners of this place left. The rubber used broke down with the oils from frying foods on the stove, and began to become mushy. I imagine the same would happen with the small amount of oil your fingers produce to keep your skin moisturized on the keycaps with how frequently they are used. Oils and certain plastics and rubber really don't mix sometimes and they deteriorate rapidly.

[@grizzay4097]

I bet they will sound extremely silent with MX Silent Red switches.

[@DrTacoPHD665]

I backed one of the older Kickstarters for a model with a numpad on the left, because it's such a unique layout. After having it for 5 months or so, I would recommend any similar Epomaker/Skyloong board for people who would like a nicer looking, well priced but not high end board, especially if it has hotswapping. I've found it to be a perfect general starting board for collecting/trying switches and different keycap styles.

[@crakkajac7856]

To anyone interested, I have had a Sharkoon keyboard for about 9 years with their version of the rubberized keys. They only give you 8 of them, but they have held up perfectly with any discoloration able to be cleaned off. Never gathered dust. The keyboard is terrible, but those keycaps are great and have lived a life. It appears they still sell them as well and they look to be the same design.

[@matasa7463]

Not too much. You shouldn’t see white anywhere, just a light sheen. Remember that especially for tactiles, overlubing, particularly on the part of the stem that grants the tactility, will ruin said tactility, or at least reduce it greatly. While on linears you should lube the stem legs and copper leaves contact point fully to remove all friction, that is not adviced on tactiles.

[@kidclown4217]

I'd rather then be made out of a more solid chunk of silicone, and to have the legends cast deep in the silicon so that as they wear down they are still readable. I'd also probably only use them on certain keys for the grip. But generally, a soft touch rubber keycap would be right up my alley. What I'd really like to see is liquid core key caps, or some sort of physically reactive key cap.
