Please tell me the robots don't have a dental plan. I don't like the idea of robots with organic teeth.

It's more about the length than the sharpness, but you're right.

That might work. I'd still prefer a traditional letter opener with a long dull blade, but that's not a bad alternative.

Not really. Something a bit more traditionally pen-like.

I'm also having a badge made by that Etsy shop. 🙂

Does it have passthrough to the keyboard so you only need one cable?

Just discovered Aegean Sea.

They look great, but unfortunately lack the lowercase Greek letters. As someone who uses the Greek alphabet as variables rather than for writing, while I know the uppercase and lowercase versions of each letter, having the lowercase symbols shown would be helpful. Oh well.

Weird that they would use such bad renders.

Ah, I've seen that. I can't say I'm a fan of those keycaps. Their profile just looks really weird to me.

I would love to get matching caps for the number row, grave/tilde, minus/underscore, equal/plus, bracket left/curly bracket left, bracket right/curly bracket right, semicolon/colon, apostrophe/quote, comma/angled bracket left, period/angled bracket right, forward slash/question mark, and backslash/vertical bar keys. Steel for all the typable symbols.

My alpha and arrow keycaps are solid stainless steel with shine through (through a piece of plastic inside acting as a diffuser). I dare anyone to say they're of poor quality. Haha.

Wow, really? Then there really is absolutely no reason anymore.

Thank you! I've been saying this for a while and get constant pushback on it.

All enthusiast-tier switches made at this point have longer stems to avoid north-facing conflicts. Can't speak to your basics like Cherry and Gateron switches, but the people buying these boards aren't using those anyways. It makes no sense to still make PCBs be south-facing.

Thanks, but I'm only really interested in north-facing boards.

Sure, but not every Greek letter has an easy analogue and a few of their names start with the same letter. Ultimately, it would just be best to have bilingual keycaps to create a guide.

I'm not confusing anything.

Remembering an entire alphabet layer without a visual guide is just very difficult.

Sure, but if you're going to have LEDs on the PCB, they should probably be put to good use, right? Even if most keycaps don't support shine through, it's silly to ignore those that do.

I'm not sure. I've not bought it yet.

You can always use the LED lighting to indicate the layer.

Ugh, that keyboard sounds amazing. I just wish it wasn't south facing. It's so rare for north-facing to result in conflicts anymore as most decent switches have long stems, so it's just taking a loss on the LED lighting for nothing.

Also wish it came in their midnight blue.

It's not, and that does look a bit better, but it's also not the complete Greek alphabet. :/

Aww, sorry.

I'm now considering buying the 008, and the limited functionality of the knob is definitely a downer. I'd love to use it just to switch between layers. I already have a volume scroll wheel that I quite like on my ControlPad.

The variant with black Latin characters is at least a bit better, but still not exactly pretty.

I enjoy anime as much as the next neckbeard here, but personally I only want symbols on my keyboard that I can actually use. If someone knows Japanese, then power to them, but it's definitely over-represented.

Greek characters would be super useful to me because I use them quite a lot in my work (physics), so making a layer dedicated to them (and a layer dedicated to the TeX codes for them) would be rather nice.

Yeah, this is the only one I've found with both, and it's... yeah.
