Yes quality is hit and miss with Tai Hao caps.

I have 3 sets and all have some kind of spots, blemishes or molding marks on the side of the caps.
For the price its acceptable, but it is noticable.

I don't have any experience with cherry profile. But OEM profile Tai Hao have a good fit. I am using a black with grey lettering PBT doubleshot set now and the spacebar was a tight fit (and after clipping the extra mounts). The ABS doubleshot sets have the same tight fit on the spacebar, but the res...

Thank you for changing the intro music, no more bleeding ears.

And are you planning to put these switches in a complete keyboard?

Used this keyboard a while at work, it got replaced with a Topre, but the snappy keyfeel was pretty satisfying. Topre is a lot smoother and less rattly but i will chose the NMB dome with slider over Romer-G and MX Brown any day.

I don't see what's so Dutch about that keyboard layout, several of the sub-legend characters are no part of the Dutch alphabet. It is a tempting offer though. These are Alps switches, right? I wasn't sure myself, but googling 'dutch keyboard layout' brings up the same layout. They are indeed Alps, ...
