Striker 2 vs Space Cadet vs Klein Blue side-by-side keycaps comparison

Submitted by No_Credit_4423 t3_112expw in MechanicalKeyboards

Hi everyone! This post is for those who pursue their perfect blue keycaps and cannot decide which should they buy to have a perfect match with their keyboards. I have bought and performed side-by-side comparison of the most popular blue keycaps for now: GMK Striker 2 vs GMK Space Cadet II Blue Base vs PBTFANS Klein Blue. All the photos were made using natural light. Enjoy!

I have bought Klein first! Very solid and bright! And it has very interesting effect because of transparency of top layer.

Keep in mind Space Cadet is emulating a very specific color of pale blue found on old Symbolics keyboards

It's definitely not going to "perform" if the goal is richness or intensity.
