Datamancer Typewriter Keycaps - Penshurst Parchment

These are expensive, almost too expensive. But if you are going to build your own keyboard and want it to have ALOT of personality, you may as well go all the way.I was at first a little disappointed when I took them out to examine them, the paper underneath the plastic or glass, not sure what but it feels like glass (I am typing on them now), looks like just that, paper. For the price I was expecting it to be a little more convincingly parchment. Regardless, I went through with putting them on my keyboard.I can gladly say that after putting it all together it looks better than expected. The outer metal ring that these are built with reflects any RGB backlight you have. If you are concerned about it not being RGB compatible I can say honestly say don't be! While the letters themselves do not light up, these will turn your keyboard into a colored flashlight, the light bouncing around makes a huge impact on how much you see it.I was nervous that these would be difficult to type on given that the circles are so small compared to all the room that square keys give you. Thankfully it only took about two minutes to adjust. The spacing between keys is far more pronounced and makes it harder to inadvertently mistype due to a finger slip. This, coupled with the concave shape of the keys, makes your fingers feel comfortable at home. One of my keys has a bit of wobble now, caps lock, this may however be the fault of the switches I put into the board. It is not anything that is super pronounced and I am not concerned about the longevity of anything. The space and all other larger keys are perfect and have no wobble what so ever.All in all i will give this 4 stars, not five, due to the price. They are apparently hand made though, so I suppose that is how they justify the price.The the reason for three right now is because the letter "B" on my keyboard came in a little opaque instead of crystal clear like all other keys. Check the pictures, little hard to see but still a problem. When I am dropping this much money on a key set I expect perfection. No amount of polishing seems to make it clear like its counterparts. If they contact me and send me another "B" I will bump this up another star.Edit:Update after owning them for 2 months. Keys are sill nice. I like them. Ultimately I stand by what I said before. Unfortunately, the customer service is NON-EXISTENT. I have to drop it down to two stars.There is no justification for the price tag, the seller does not monitor the amazon reviews and or does not care. The price you are paying justifies a cushy stress free experience with the seller, this is not the case. spend your hard earned money elsewhere. Only worth the price if you really want the aesthetic or you can pointlessly burn money for fun.

These are the most amazing keys, It took me over 2 years to make these by myself and Datamancer has them here for this unbelievable price! well worth the money with the time it saves. You have to get one of the very old fashioned keyboards for these to work as intended without allot of cutting and again worth the search , but for those that are either impatient or what a specific different key board it can be done but with much ingenuity and cutting, look up Datamancers steampunk keyboard on you tube and he explains it. These are an amazing tribute to a missed innovator. Thanks for keeping it going!

I love them and I love playing with putting them on my keyboard.

Thank you so much.. 👍🏻
