Wow, those are sooooo much better than the zinc ones.

Where did you get them?

Over at R00TW0RM's site. I think they went for $150, if I remember correctly.

Yea feng was selling them. These fit perfectly and clearly have a much higher level of attention to detail unlike the zinc ones (from what I heard).

The key art does nothing to me, but personal preference discarded, they look very nice. How is the mounting? Do they fit well?

EDIT: just answered above.

While I've no interest in SC2, they look pretty epic
Also looking forward to a video to hear how they sound :D

Whoaaaaaah so nice. Trade Protoss for my Pink CC? I'd consider that 8-)

Also, are they 3D or just printed really well?

Gets the point across, love the lower tone, sound so thick and heavy.

My first take had the video of me pressing the key, but the microphone was at a bad angle and didn't pick up the sound well. I figured the audio was more important that the video of my finger pressing the key down. :)

Just kidding. I thought maybe you had enormous pudgy fingers or something.
