fnurlMy Mal key looks exactly like that. I wonder if there was an issue with the mold itself because I've seen it on a lot of other boards, too.
It's really not a big deal to me, and since they ALL seem to have that issue, I guess it makes it a " normal" property of the set, if that makes sense. It's obviously not ideal though, it could have been done better. I guess, thinking about it...if all of my keys showed up looking that way, I'd be unhappy with the set, so I do see your point. It really isn't very noticeable to me unless I'm staring at the board (and that specific key). I know they can do it right though because my enter key is perfect, I wonder if they just have trouble with all 1u though. Somehow I feel like, the smaller it is, the more difficult it is to make, but I have no idea.
The cracks and unevenness in your set though, that's DEFINITELY noticeable and would be a deal-breaker for me.
I don't know that I'd shift the blame on to SP just yet though. That honestly reminds me of hest damage, and it's been 100+ in some parts of the country. I know FedEx is better than, say, USPS, when it comes to shipping and climate, but I wonder if it's possible the hest messed it up after shipping from SP, MAYBE even Massdrop?
Sorry you're having issues though. I hope you're able to get things worked out.

BlueCrownedso in the case of the "roll" key it would be a problem with the first layer. Mine looks pretty good, but then again I would not know if the letters have bleed out of the mold until the top layer was warn away enough to see inside. Correct?

I do however agree with the previously voiced comments on QC issues. Given the price one could have expected the quality to be better. I have the same alignment issues as other posters, blurred text on the yellows, some discoloration/finish issues (see images) and a red "ROLL" key with a white "crack".
I like the size of the legends and the alignment errors to not bother me that much. The issues with the finish are more visible to me. Is there something one can do to "polish" them in some way to even out the surface?
