Geteilte DSA-Tastatur mit leeren Tastenkappen

Bought these for use on the foostan corne
Pros:
- Looks absolutely dashing
- retro vibe
- lower profile, hence lower wrist strain
- Flatter DSA profile works well if your typing style involves bottoming out the keypresses.
- I like the sound of these bottoming out with scratchy quiet akko penguin switches.. I bet it sounds good with browns or reds as well.
Cons
- plastic quality is not bad at all, but not as good as most factory keyboards 6/10.
- not a fan of the rough texture on the keycaps, feels like I am typing with chalk on my fingertips. maybe i'll get used to this.
- strong plastic chemical smell out of the box, slowly dissipating over a week
- no home rows and on the same keyboard, I find my accuracy on these DSA keycaps to be lower compared to spherical OEM or SA profiles because of the absence of the flat profile and lower spacing between keycaps, Needed to modify my typing style a bit to improve my accuracy
Overall, given the limited options for split keyboard keycaps, and the absolutely beautiful looks of these keycaps, and, most of my issues with these are personal or temporary, also mechboards delivery was spot on. I would recommend these.

In spite of what another reviewer said, there are no shaped home keys: all the 1U keys are identically shaped, so you can't feel out F and J without looking. Feels like a major oversight for a set of blank keycaps.

Other than this the quality and colours are excellent, so I'm only deducting one star.

I bought these keys to use on a Corne keyboard built from the kit also sold by Mechboards. These keys are great. Of course I have more than I need, but they may be useful for another project - who knows!
One tip: Although not mentioned in the description, there are shaped home keys included - you just have to find them!!
