valiantI am also missing a keycap. My dasher numpad zero key (2u) was not delivered. Massdrop support said 1-2 weeks for a replacement to be sent, but I'm not sure if that is realistic. I do have some extra keys (sorry, no 'home' key) that I'd be willing to send to anyone who is missing one. I probably have the same extras as everyone else: non-deep 'F', 'J', and '5', opposite color '\' and '~', extra 'up arrow' etc. Who else is missing keys? Who has extras. Can we do a Mass-swap?

don81Interesting. I got a "9" key but the parenthesis icon is reversed so that both the "9" key and the "0" key have the identical ")" icon. I submitted a ticket with Massdrop support this morning. I thought I had a perfect set for minute and then later in the day saw the reversed ")" icon. Double checked and there wasn't a correct "9" key in the bag.
Otherwise, I love everything about this set. Solid feel, great sound, silky smooth to the touch. Looks great too.

Analog_JI have been back and forth with Massdrop support regarding my missing keycap. Originally they said 1-2 weeks for a replacement. I tried to explain that these are not in-stock items and 1-2 weeks is probably not realistic. Support researched the custom keycap drops and admitted that it is based on when the supplier can manufacture more, which can take several weeks. So now I'm setting myself up to wait another 9 months to receive one missing keycap. Such a shame. I like this set too much to send back for a full refund (which was an option). I do like the SA profile and the color scheme here is killer, but this is too sad. Next time, I'll probably try maxkeys instead of waiting for a group buy from SP.

I'll contact customer support, but... boo!
And now that I have it installed on my XMIT Hall Effect keyboard, I really miss the "full" MacOS set of keys: F13, F14, F15, HELP and (for the numpad) CLEAR are conspicuous by their absence. And there is no way in hell they are ever going to be offered... :-(
That being said, I really like the feel of these keys. They tame my number one complaint about the XMIT keyboard: the "clacky" sound of the stock keycaps. The stock keys have a high-pitched rattle when in use. This set of keycaps has a lower pitched "clok" sound and no rattle that I find much more pleasant in use. I thought the rattle was inherent to the way the magnetic keys are built, I'm glad to find out I was wrong. I have not installed any o-rings yet, that might tame the sound even more. I'll try using them stock for a while then try that too.
The profile really reminds me of an old Selectric typewriter. I like that! The heft to them is very comforting to type on.
Now if only I had a HOME key. And the rest of the Mac keys...
