Full Metal Keycaps = Full Thock Alchemy? Awekeys Copper Eagle Keycap Review!
Ғылым және технология
The Copper Eagle keycap set from Awekeys is a full metal (including stems) set with great layout support and a seriously one-of-a-kind sound signature! I tried them out on a few different builds, and I have to say they do require some thoughtfulness in the build specs. But pair it with the right board and switch combination, and you'll be flying... like an eagle... a copper eagle... HA! Check them out at the link below! Day 1 backers on Kickstarter will receive a free stem adjustment tool :)

That's metal, this is such a steel

clever joke!
I think the only thing I can’t get over is that metallic spacebar sound.
my only wish is that we could pick the layout we want rather than buying a whole 104 set + the 7u extra set, it feels a little much for say, someone that has a 60% and just needs that one layout

Yes, you can get the 7u add on pack individually along with the full set.

@@awekeys oh not what i meant, i know base model can be bought separatedly from the 7u add on i meant it would be nice to be able to buy a set SMALLER than a 104, for example, ONLY the 60% size, and NOT buy the function row, or nav cluster, or arrow keys
Alphas sound good, but the spacebar sounds really pingy. Sounds like it can't be installed properly...
By the power of our obsession in our niche hobby, it won't be long before we will have space keycaps forged from moonrock.
Those sounds way different from plastic keys. Definitely worth a TRY！！
What is that keyboard at 1:03?

It's a Korean custom made by prime anodizing! Technically called the PRIME TKL? IT was a Korea only group buy :P
Have you tried the cerakey ceramic keycaps yet? Cause they are really thocky

I have! Love them but mine doesn’t have 7u support which makes it almost useless for me haha
I bought a couple drop dcx sets on BOGO and that was a hard sell to myself 😭 (I won't lie though, they were worth it in the end)
Waiting a set of ceramic keycaps for less money
Nice pajamas!
ceramic keycaps are cheaper but they sound better

I’m just trying to convince myself to have a key cap set that isn’t ceramic 😂
