Keycaps will become shiny over time, but unless you shell out big bucks for a Ducky, or one of the top

I feel like the keycaps aren't tapered

Really like this keyboard...will probably get the typewriter keycaps for it soon.

Frankly, I love the font on the keycaps, the keycaps themselves are admittedly a bit slippery and curved inward, but I love that, even though I used to prefer flat keys

The keycaps are replaceable (Cherry MX mount), so I might buy a more legible set if these turn out to be too obnoxious.

Perhaps they will get better with time as they break in
