(Kickstarter Launch Day Special Price - 119 USD)

The Awekeys Air is a low-profile full metal keycap set I tested for sound and feel, and it’s launching on Kickstarter starting at $119. If you want a deeper, thockier low-profile sound and a more premium finish, this is basically what you’re paying for — just be ready for the extra weight.

Pros

+Makes low-profile boards sound deeper and thockier
+Premium full-metal feel with scratch-resistant nano-coated surface
+Helps anchor the keyboard to the desk thanks to the added weight

Cons

-Much heavier than ABS/PBT (spacebar is ~22g)
-Extra weight may affect hall effect keyboard performance
-80% kit doesn’t include numpad keys
