I prefer visible keymounts over paper thin keys and ugly mounting marks.

Due to the plastic used, you never be able to not see the keymounts, and I agree with sixty. I would much rather have the thicker plastic. My Choc Mini has visible keymounts, and apparently, so does the Leopold. The thickness of the caps (on the Choc Mini, anyway) more that make up for it as well as the fruity printing (this annoys me much more). I just need to get a few black Cherry keyboards of varying vintages to swap out the keycaps. I would have already done it, but the bottom row on the Choc Mini is a little weird and the right Shift might be a tough replacement. I don't like mix-n-match keys, either; that looks worse than the fruity printing.

That's how I like to hear it. None of this I'm just casually into mechanical keyboards but not that much crapitlnstln wrote:I just need to get a few black Cherry keyboards of varying vintages to swap out the keycaps.

I wrote a review of the G80-3494LYCUS-2 with red Cherry switches here. I had to give it thumbs down. YOMV.

Some of the very best keycaps made in modern days, imo.
What would I type in the search engine for Tao Bao to try to bring these up?

the white double shot pads are special, as they age and turn milky, they become somehow more human, there is kind of warmth to them.

by the way sixty, do you know why cherry does not use metal plate to mount their PCB? their G81 series use metal plate, but such a waste, since people just throw them away, you amongst them.
