Oddly its not shown on any of the pictures but the metal caps above can be put onto all keys apart from the number pad so i guess this is suited more to the guys with a smaller keyboard. They are also making blank metal caps for macro keys but those are coming at a later date

 

Ok after doing even more research ive found out that at the moment the keys above the only ones which can be brought that the amount, these are experiments and if the reaction is positive then caps will come out for more keys so you can have a "full metal keyboard". 

 

So the keys are zinc alloy and they are then anodized and uv coated so that your fingers dont melt them away.

 

Get them now at the low price of $69.99. Holy shit thats 35 times more expensive then my current keyboard.

If it was entirely made up of steel the term "Keyboard Warrior" will have a whole new meaning.

I want all steel keycaps on my k95.. The plastic keys are the only thing i've found that's wrong with it for me.
But they have to be matte black.. 

I'll wait and see

Looks interesting.

 

Does it make your fingers smell like metal if you type on it for a while?

anodized so no, its a bit glossy bit like turning a window, if you or your parents have a car then its like touching the paint, well it will be like that if they do anodize it properly.

 It cost 64.99 when it was being dropped, and I'm pretty sure you had to pay shipping.

I think he meant the keyboard that you claimed was

 

$69.99.Holy shit that's 35 times more expensive then my current keyboard.

And according to your profile your keyboard cost you 5 pounds, $8.50, and therefore it only costs 8 times more than your current keyboard.

Not sure how you got 35 times, or if that was just a random number you pulled out of your ass.

I remember blasting that song in my dad's car when I first got my license 6 years ago. I was still at school.

Good choice, and cheers for the nostalgia hit.

The keys are pretty damn cool too.

Ive seen some out for a while, imo this isnt news for me. Look on Massdrop or eBay or some other website and you'll find these zinc ones, not from TT though.

metal keycaps have been around for a while, if you spend any time on geek hack you would know this. I thinking Geek Feng has some red zinc ones in his store at the moment and they look so balling.
