Thanks man! And for sure they're a decent set but I am a bit bummed by the various inconsistent legends. I hope their quality improves for their groupbuy sets!
@@machkeys5731 I have seen a lot of really positive feedback with the one caveat being the legending, since they are pretty established I could definitely see them rectifying the issue!
@@joer1502 Yea I agree, if/once they fix their legends, these will definitely be a top alternative for cherry ABS sets as all other aspects of them are pretty good!
If you're comparing the black spacebar from the domikey WOB to the black used on the gmk red samurai set, the domikey WOB is somewhat noticeably blacker. The black on red samurai is a couple shades lighter but not by a huge margin imo. I hope this answered your question!
Hi, do you know if the black color of gmk wob and domikey caps are the same? I'm looking to get a set of sublegend alphas to combine with my gmk modifiers but I want to make sure there won't be any color inconsistencies. Great video!
If you're talking about matching GMK WoB, unfortunately, I don't own that set so I can't tell you a direct answer. But if it helps, the black mods used on GMK Red/Blue Samurai is a lighter black than the black used on DMK.
The alpha+mod itself will only cover a traditional TKL and lower, so you would have to also purchase the mod plus kit if you want full compatibility with the Q1, since the right bottom row uses 1u mods and the right shift is the smaller 1.75u. The mod plus kit will also help complete the nav cluster with the proper keycap row profiles.
The artisans shown in this video were both from Drop. The enter artisan is the Moon Key Dragon metal keycap and the artisan on the macro column is the SUN guardian lion keycap!
It's been a minute since I've used epbt abs, but iirc the texture on them is def more grainy than domikey. They also have some minor inconsistencies in the legends and are the thinnest/smallest out of gmk/dmk/epbt. The internal shot of the abs on epbt also doesn't fill the whole keycap, similar to mt3/sa abs if you look under the keycap. Domikey also has more compatibility as they offer more kits while epbt abs are single kits. epbt abs is also the cheapest out of gmk/dmk/epbt.
I actually like some shine on WoB but my issue with developing shine is inconsistency, my keyboard is mainly used for gaming so my WASD keys get noticeably more shine than the rest
gmk red samuri is apparently a little less thicc and has worse kitting than other gmk sets, but after hearing about domkey and their all instock, fuck gmk im going with them
That's interesting, I haven't heard about red samurai being a little less thick, although it's the only GMK set I have on hand atm. Domikey is definitely a good option if you want keycaps without waiting a year+ to receive them
@@machkeys5731 yeah some pll were saying red sms are less thicc, idk if i belive it they seem fine to me, but as well all know the kitting is also terrible, i used red sams as my burner caps for my gaming keeb, which is tofu 65 modded. and yeah i been saseeing domkey now more and i love them i almost rather them bc the price,
@@auschris9296 I dont think I can use any abs keycaps for gaming as I prefer pbt due to the longevity after continued use. But for sure domikey are worth it as u get more keycaps for less as long as you can look past their inconsistent legends
Thanks for your video, I’ve been looking for someone discussing more about domikey
AMAZING content. very high quality
Great video! Thank you for discussing the the differences so thoroughly.
Thank you so much for the input! Really appreciate it
Wow really good comparison! Deserves a sub
Nice video! You beat me to the punch on these. :)
haha thank you!!
Nice video, these seem like a decent contender if they can get the legends right, especially considering the price

@@machkeys5731 its also very cool that they sell each piece separately, just bought the bow bars for my bear65
@@joer1502 Yoo Bear gang, I'm still waiting for my blue bear :,) Once I get it I'll be making a build vid for it!
Nice comparison!
Nice
the domikey set sounds better imo, and most importantly they are actually in stock
Hi bro thanks for the comparison!
Can you tell the color difference between blacks on the spacebar?

holy shit those artisans are so sick

no gmk is like oil black while dmk is more of a dark grey
These will also develop a shine overtime right?
Yep, ABS will definitely shine overtime the more you use them
i only really here a difference in the spacebar, more muted on the domikey
I re-tuned my spacebar stab today and tested it again, and you're right, the GMK spacebar is ever so slightly clackier than the Domikey spacebar
decent, take my sub
Got the Keychron Q1, only purchasing the Alphas and Modifiers be enough for the board? I'm not sure about the Mod Plus kit tho.

@@machkeys5731 Thanks, im pretty excited to try them.
Beautiful artisan caps. Where did you buy them?

@@machkeys5731 Thanks. Appreciate the reply. More power to your channel.
When is the wob domikey black and white will get restock?
Unfortunately I don't know, you can try contacting KPRepublic directly to see if they may have an answer
@@machkeys5731 thanks it just got restock today will finally have that clean white on black katakana keeb
do u have any comparison between domikey and epbt abs?

Sorry for the late reply, this is the KBDFans x Vulcan Maja. There will be a V2 GB for it this Black Friday if you are interested!
only hipsters buy GMK
abs keycaps shine way too fast. ew
