==================================================================================================================================================================================================================
These
unique looking translucent blanks are made of POM (see FAQ
if you want to know more about this material).
We are
Escape Keyboard, and we are hoping to specialise in bringing
POM jelly keycaps back to the mechanical keyboard community
with a wider selection of colors and configurations.
The
interest check two weeks ago was very successful with a lot
of responses telling us what you guys want! We have updated
the kit options and now our kits will be compatible with
most of the layouts you have.
And for the first time in
MK GB history (that we are aware of), you will be able to
customize your own kits.
We are not talking about
having the option to buy different layout kits, but to also
select your colour option for each kit from all six
colours.
We hope this opens a range of combinations and
possibilities for people who would like a more personal
touch to their keyboards.
The available colours are
listed below, each with a photo showing how they look
against white (sugar) caps:
Sugarcube (white)
Butter(or yellow)
Matcha (light green)
Strawberry (pink)
Ramune (light blue)
Lavender (purple)
Rainbow
P.S. If you are a fan of RGB the POM Sugar (white)
works great as POM is translucent and acts like a diffuser
for your LEDs.

FAQ
First group buy? READ THIS BEFORE YOU
PRE-ORDER!
A Group Buy (or GB), is a period when
everyone places their pre-orders so we can meet the quantity
needed to start a production run to our specifications. A GB
usually lasts 3-4 weeks for everyone to place their orders,
and the whole order is sent to the factory to be made.
Delivery times are usually 3-4 months after the GB ends.
Please
be aware of delivery times before you order as there cannot
be refunds due to the nature of group buys and we do not
offer change of mind refunds.

Are these POM caps
better than double shot ABS?
Durability wise, in
theory, definitely! POM has a density of 1.41 g/cm3 and Abs
and PBT has 1.1 and 1.3 g/cm3 respectively. This causes a
different sound profile and touch due to the unique
material. In terms of thickness, they are thinner than most
of the premium ABS double shots out there. So it will be
down to personal preference on both aesthetics and touch.
How
do these keys feel and sound?
Although they do not have
a gloss finish, they feel silky smooth, due to the material.
They also sound a bit like marbles, with a slightly deep
thocc, possible due to their density even though they are a
bit thinner than most premium double shots.
Torture
test results:
There are lots of claims on how ABS, PBT
and POM differ from each other. We decided to put them to
the test in terms of both abrasion and chemical
resistance.
The results showed that these caps are
extremely durable and resistant to chemicals.
This is a
link to all three common keycap materials exposed to nail
polish remover.

Disclaimer
DO
NOT EAT. KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN. CHOKING HAZARD.
Packaging
looks like food, and the contents look like food. However,
DO NOT EAT.
The stems are quite tight, but as long as
you keep your pulling force even it will not damage your
switches. The tightness is from the mechanical properties of
POM which has a higher shrinkage in the post injection
cooling period.
There might be a slight color
difference with the GB sets compared to the testers that we
shipped out before the GB as they came from different
batches from the factory. However, the difference should be
minimal when comparing sets within the GB.
Avoid
prolonged periods of direct sunlight. As with all
thermoplastics, even with UV stabilizing additives, the
color WILL eventually fade with UV exposure under sun. Refer
to our FAQ for more information on durability related
questions.
