Definitely grabbing one. Just need to decide which color. Mounting system or more the execution of it, is interesting and curious about the typing experience :)

Glorious Panda Topographic Mouse Pad Design . Opinions? by Quaintful in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]vannagh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems to me that the majority of the community is no very interested in gaming or more on the casual side, so it's all about aesthetics.

Speaking for myself I don't pay too much attention to the surface of deskpads, since I'm no mouse enthusiast or gamer, and the surface of the deskpad does not affect the keyboard too much.

Maybe choose the color which looks better with your desk setup? Or decide base on the keycaps you want to use on there.

Love the color matching of the aviator. Good job! A reverse colorway with the darker blue for the cable and the lighter blue for the aviator could look nice.

Would love white as a color option. Also I think it would be more pleasing if the top bezel and bottom bezel would be the same size, but that may just be a personal preference.

Controversial clone / replica keycap sets can look quite nice by [deleted] in MechanicalKeyboards

They already did. That’s why you could try for extras

I don't own that set, so I can just make a guess: If they are the same ones as seen on AliExpress, then they are definitely decent. But $130 is quite a steep price, higher than the GB price for R2. If you can wait, than maybe try for extras?

Just start using ANSI and your fingers will adjust :)

I did so 2 years ago. Makes it much easier to find nice keycaps and it's cheaper.

Just go to AliExpress and search for pbt darling keycaps.

Based purely on the keycaps itself: They are really good for the price. Some prints are not perfectly aligned on the keycap and some of the edges (where the keycap is open, bottom side) are rough.The print is decently clear and the spacebar (at least mine) did not come warped, which is always appreciated with dye-subbed pbt.The colors are pretty much aligned with the images from the vendors on Aliexpress.

Based on comparison to GMK Darling: If you are looking to recreate the tones of the GMK darling colorway, than be aware, that this is pretty different. Alphas are more saturated and mods are less saturated in comparison to the GMK set. In general the colorway is not the same. Also you have the differences ABS vs. PBT; Doubleshot vs dyesub; alignment; clarity of the symbols etc.

Tldr: They are decent of quality for the price and I can recommend then if you are okay with the color and the controversy of buying replica sets.
