1. Now my favorite profile

   Posted by Mike Rathwell on May 28th 2021

   I started with these after initially having a set of DCS profile keys on my Ergodox. Nice but the sharp top edges of the DCS became hard on my thumbs since they tend to hit the sides and cross the edges on the thumb keys. I bought the 4 2U thumb keys in the same color as the DCS I had originally purchased from PMK and loved them. Since, during transition to the Ergodox and even now, I find my typing became a train wreck when I looked at my hands, I went all in with a full set of what became my first set of blank keycaps. Loved 'em so much I popped to redo my XD75 ortholinear. NOTHING looks better than a big square ortho with these caps on and the feel is stellar. Just the right texture and the homing bar keys are just right to get your homed fast.

2. endgame

   Posted by Joey V on Aug 5th 2020

   I've tried several different non-sculpted (uniform) keycaps, including DSA, XDA, F10, and GRID for my Keebio Iris. The G20s are by far my favorite! Excellent texture, and nice soft corners. Minimal gap between keys, but still far enough for touch typing. The small slope on the top provides a some customizing of row/column feel through orientation (alphas slope away from me, number rows and thumbs slope towards me, and pinky modifiers slope inward). I also bought an extra set of homing keys for my thumb home. Oh, and they look good too!

3. Great, except for the enter and plus keys on the number pad.

   They reused the backspace key mold for enter and plus keys on the number pad.
   This causes the keys to be oriented at the wrong angle. Tilting left or right instead of down.

4. Still loving these caps; I came back for more :)

   I got my first set of these from PMK when I was using my ErgoDox to start learning stenography. The broad, flat profile makes these caps great for that, since it makes it easy to press two or more adjacent keys at the same time with one finger.
   
   Since then I've acquired a couple of dedicated steno boards, so the ErgoDox has gone back to being a normal keyboard for me, but I'm keeping these caps - they're fun, chunky and easy to type on. Since I was replacing the switches on the ErgoDox anyway, I figured I would jazz up the appearance while I was at it and ordered a bright red modifier set. I'm very happy with the results (combined with my black base set, my keyboard now looks like a mutant Oric Atmos, which is exactly what I was going for), and with the service from PMK.
   
   PMK now also have an even flatter, wider cap that you might want to lake a look at if you're looking for something specifically for chording. I haven't tried them yet but they look well suited to that. For me, these G20s strike a good balance between comfortable chording and easy touch typing so they're perfect for my purposes.

5. Great, chunky caps; fantastic for stenography

   Posted by Geoff on May 17th 2019

   I bought a set of these for my ErgoDox EZ. I use it heavily for work and am also using it to learn stenography with Plover.
   
   For normal use, these are fun, chunky and practical. I wondered if I might find myself getting lost switching from the sculpted DSA caps but no, not at all. The locating nubs on F and J are all I need to know where I am by feel.
   
   For Steno, these are probably the best caps you can get. I've mounted my middle row (top steno row excluding the 'number bar' row) upside down, which makes the two steno rows lean towards each other, making it very easy to press chords. This barely affects the feel for normal typing at all. I've also applied the same trick to make the double size keys and each pair of small keys in the thumb clusters lean towards each other - both for the vowel chords for steno and to get a bit more use out of the other thumb cluster keys using QMK combos.
   
   I'd strongly recommend these, especially for steno, and definitely foresee ordering more for home made keyboard projects in the future.

6. G20 is what's up

   Posted by jsmith on Feb 28th 2019

   I find myself more and more every day reaching for these G20s and immediately receiving a grin on my face. They feel great and look badass. Not sure why they haven't gained more spotlight in the mechkb community, but I'll keep using them :)

7. Just what I was looking for.

   Posted by Kevin T on Nov 16th 2018

   Just got these. My Niu Mini's PCB is set at a slant, so my lower three rows have a nice 1-2mm step. I set the top row and space bar inverted, with some DSA modifiers, for a slightly more sculpted feel and oh, boy, it feels great. Great low profile set, Ordered the RCB base ortho set and everything was as expected, and quite a deal at that,

8. Nice and exactly what I was hoping to get

   Posted by Marcel Sottnik on Jul 28th 2018

   The surface is nice, the form of the cap is very well designed. It's exactly what I was looking for.

9. Clean and sleek look

   Posted by Unknown on Jun 19th 2018

   They look great. I think the WAN white would have matched my desk and monitor slightly better than the WFJ white which is what I got. Sometimes it's a little hard to feel where I am on the key since it's completely flat on top.

10. These things feel amazing.

    Posted by Unknown on May 15th 2018

    I'm using them on an Iris split board and they feel absolutely wonderful. I'm very tempted to order G20 caps for the rest of my boards.
