  • Yeah, I have the RGB version of the K596 so I’d probably just end up keeping these keycaps. They aren’t bad looking and the RGB settings on this have a neat “skittles” mode.

    I was looking into 3d printing my own keycaps, but that looked to be a no-go if I wanted any kind of quality feel to them.

    Guess I either have some saving to do or considering if I want to upgrade this thing or not. It’s not a terrible keyboard in the grand scheme, especially since it already has the media keys I want. Would feel like putting a Ferrari motor in a Yugo though.


  • Yeah I have the k596 right now but it has reds in it. Got it for free. It’s not bad, but again, linear switches. I think I may be able to change switches on it but I wouldn’t even know where to begin with that whole rodeo.

    It did come with a box of switches. However, there are only two of each and the brown switches in there feel a little mushy.

    It also has that row of G-keys which throws me off because I use my pinky to find the left CTRL key when gaming etc. (I don’t really need macro keys to be frank. Have never found a use for them.)

    Those Keycrons are more than just spending a little more. They are $200? Also, function media keys are ew. I would have the kept the shitty razer thing I had with blues if that were the case.
