Can anybody tell me what durability to expect from the legends on these?

It says on the page they're "laser frosted", which I'm hearing for the first time. How does it work? Is this "frosting" as durable as the anodized layer?

Its a permanent change to the anodized layer... so you'd have to wear through the anodizing for the legends to fade.
Something you're pretty unlikely to ever do unintentionally.

Do you have any plans for a stepped caps lock key with an off-centered stem? I noticed you do offer a regular caps lock key in both off-center and center stem placement, so off-centered users can get coverage as well, but some of us just enjoy the aesthetic of the stepped key. I've filled my cart a couple of times but have managed to not pull the trigger on checkout partly because I can't decide what layout/board I'd want to put these caps on and partly because of all the other random sets I should get rid of before justifying getting these... LOL

Thanks for putting it up! I bit the bullet on enough keys to cover a TKL or a 75% with "MR4" Delete, PgDn, and End keys. I was almost tempted into the numpad kit, but on my 96%/1800 layout, but I'd need a 1u "-" (MR3) and "+" (MR2) keys, which aren't in the kit or seemingly available. So, wallet saved (a bit). Thanks!

Well good for your wallet that you did not mention anything about this in the discord.... we may have added a new kit... and your wallet would be royally f*ked

I'd like to think that not getting the numpad "saved" me $96 (minus the 10% discount, of course) , so I'm ahead of the game. I'm hoping that I'll see these caps living on a board of mine by the beginning of October. Thanks for the hard work!
