Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 100K readers.
Not much info on this one. It looks like a new uniform profile with a slight spherical(?) dish.
I'm not really into keycaps but I like the two colorways available atm: Rosy Clouds and Smoky Dawn.
PBT, doubleshot, shine-through legends, homing dashes, MX compatible ofc. Made in Taiwan.
A comparison with Tai-Hao's other keycap profiles:

It seems there was a run on Drop early this month but I can't really see any activity in that thread.
