Yeah, I think those clear or semi-translucent keycaps are probably not PBT and maybe not even ABS. I've never used ones like that before, but am unsurprised to hear that they break. I'll mention again that I have a set of YMDK keycaps that are PBT and I've had them since 2019 at least, possibly earlier. They held up well and none of them broke. Using blue O-Rings on them as well. XVX is also a good keycap brand. Though, they seem to go by a couple different names, unsurprisingly for a Chinese company on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/stores/HITIME/page/808737FD-D838-4E23-A2A5-526F35EDB949?ref_=ast_bln You'll see them referred to as XVX, SDYZ, and on their store page I linked, Hitime. This link should go directly to keycaps: https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/983981B9-9351-42A7-B369-F5129824FA50?ingress=2&visitId=1e1d6486-0797-4b83-b737-4f4805c456a1&ref_=ast_bln Just search for XVX keycaps on Amazon and you'll see a ton of options. I've used XVX as well as YMDK. Here's my last board with two tone retro themed XVX PBT keycaps.

The espresso looks amazing. Also, the tea I mentioned is actually not chai at all, it used to be called vanilla pu erh back in the day. Like 6 years ago or so now they renamed it to vanilla mint chai. However, it is pu erh tea (aka red tea) that is similar to black tea but not black tea. It has Pu Erh, cinnamon, vanilla bean, mint, and cocoa shells. It tastes most strongly of cinnamon. So fair warning there if you're allergic to cinnamon or anything. This is not a real chai because that comes from India and there are many styles and blends of it, whereas Pu Erh tea is Chinese and this is an artisan herbal blend from a Chinese tea master. If you want good chai, get Cameron's masala chai. That is a real chai and what I'm drinking every day 90% of the time lately. It's here but not available atm and hasn't been for at least two months. We get it at a grocery store that has loose leaf Cameron's tea in bins that you can put in a bag and pay by weight. (Maybe search around on Google for any place to get their chai in a grocery store or market near you.)

Any way old games are made accessible now is a good thing.

Hey @Slaughtahousedo you ever drink tea besides your london fog tea? I highly recommend Rishi vanilla mint chai aka vanilla pu erh. Try the 1/4lbs. option. Its loose-leaf so you'll need a tea ball, but I make it in a french press. Also, it's not great on it's own- you're going to need honey for it too. We get ours in a big thing at Costco. Thought I'd bring it up for you to possibly try since I'm trying the Stereo Echo. This is the one I make or suggest to people who say they don't like tea, lol.

So it's going to be a while, but I am doing yet another build as a surprise for my cousin. Currently she has a Cooler Master TKL with unbranded Red switches at home, and at work she has my old Corsair K70 Lux with MX reds in it. I figure it's time she had a real keyboard, so we bought: Keychron K8 Pro white, RGB with aluminum Redqin Cat Graffiti keycaps WASD blue o-rings Kailh Box Jade switches Total was $233. She'll be getting a real keyboard now, lol.

Here's mine: Logitech z-2300 circa 2007. 2.1 THX certified. Got it on eBay for about $80 in 2008 or 2009. It's 200w total- 120w to the 8" sub and 40w per satellite. Thing is great for gaming and good for music, but for music I have my other stereo that's 500w. Sometimes I play music on the Logitech while doing graphic design.

That won't happen with those, but be gentler when you put them on maybe and you won't crack the stem.

Are you talking about double shot shine through keycaps not lasting? https://www.amazon.com/stores/YMDK/page/9C606D0B-C257-4976-AD49-2D0F8F1C19CD?ref_=ast_bln Go there and search for keycaps. YMDK is cheap and pretty reliable over time. I have a set from them that I've had for at least 5 years and they're like new. They also have a ridiculous selection of colors. Hope this helps.

Fiancee's GMMK v2 fullsize. Changed keycaps to XVX Great Wave Off Kanagawa. Switches changed from Box White to Box Navy. Has WASD blue o-rings. Only two keys didn't work and had bent pins; I had 6 extra.

Exactly what I was thinking. They mark it as an espresso, but in reality if it's beans it needs to be made in an espresso machine to actually be espresso. Otherwise, it is just beans you can just as well grind or get grinded and use in a "normie" coffee machine. lol

Getting it but because we're in Murica, it's going to take 10 days minimum to arrive. We're getting drip grind and it'll be made in our basic Cuisinart drip pot. Hopefully that is ok even though it's an espresso. I'll report back with my thoughts on it once I have it.
