First deal post, please give feedback if you have any :)

PC Case Gear has discounted their AKKO PBT ASA profile keycaps to $62 (save $27 from original price). I believe this is a pretty good deal and it’s cheaper and more options than Amazon. The keycaps are good quality (I have the wave set). I think some are discontinued too so last chance for some! Some colours include:

Wave

Dracula castle

And many more, just search AKKO PBT ASA keycaps in PC case gear for more colour options.

I just bought some last week before it went on sale, and pretty bummed about it but maybe I’ll just buy another one.

  Some are even cheaper, and some are ASA low profile which according to reddit is closer to XDA. Good find!

  For people want to know the GMK/SA/ePBT equivalent of these colorways (yes Akko clone it without designer permission)
  Wave - GMK Wavez
  Macau - GMK Nautilus
  Chocolate - GMK Chocolatier
  Neon - GMK Laser
  Bred - GMK Higabana (not really sure, but colorways seems to match)

  Dracula Castle, Black and Rose, Chicago looks like Akko original.

  Pretty sure pc case gear is just price matching Amazon.

  $90 with 30% coupon. Which is $63 delivered:

  https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B08QQZP8NT/ref=cm_sw_r_api_i_WX…

  Instead of waiting for PC Case gear to take 3 days just to give the dang to the post (this is first hand experience) and wait another day or 2 for the dear Auspost at least, save your self the hassle and buy from Amazon. Also easier returns…

    There's only the Neon that is price matched. It's also a third party seller and not Amazon. Any other colour is still cheaper at PC Case Gear.

      The keycaps linked on Amazon are cherry profile too, not ASA profile, meaning they’re a different product. Just look at the font. If you prefer cherry profile keycaps, then go for those.

        To be fair to Larsson I just checked and the ASA Lakers keycaps are also available with 30% off coupon.

        I don't think it was worth a negative deal vote though.

      "It's also a third party seller and not Amazon."

      But it's also Fulfilled by Amazon so you get the same return policy as buying from Amazon AU.

      Also "third party seller" isn't that basically the same as buying direct from PC Case Gear? If it's "Fulfilled by Amazon" at least Amazon will take care of you if something goes wrong.

    Do they have the slight rough texture to them like most PBT keycaps or are they glossy and smooth?

    I like the rough texture.

  I think I discovered why these are going for cheap.

  A few feedback posts I found showed photos of cracked Akko keycap stems. Looks like some kind of manufacturing defect where part of the stem is missing.
  Seems to be fine going onto a switch, but I would think if the stem is incomplete it has a higher chance of cracking one day.
