OMG. OK, I am so gullible sometimes. Not a KB at all....just vinyl CAPS.

:':)oops:

At least I am sitting here typing on one of my lovely cherry membrane KBs.....and laughing at myself.

Yes, I initially thought they were actual mechanical KBs. Yes, for that money.

Beyond hideous. Must cost them a dollar to make those stickers.

Why would anyone want them?
Save people the expense of getting new keycaps. Heavy typists can wear out pad printed decals (or darken laser infill).

Interesting. Never thought of that. My low end Cherry membrane KBs have laser etched keys---on mine there are no recesses--- and the imprints never wear out or darken.

I think all KBs should have laser etched keys as mine do. But, I guess it costs more.
