Many firsts here… My first review, my first medium post, my first SA keyset, and my first experience buying something from China directly. So then, lets get on with it.

I ordered this set from KBDfans, made by MaxKey. I had not even heard about this manufacturer and thought that Signature Plastics were the only makers of SA profile keycaps that existed. A quick Google search did not seem to bring up any info on MaxKey other than a discussion on /r/MechanicalKeyboards. The price point seemed good, and I decided to take the plunge.

Ordering & Shipping

Once ordered, the package was shipped the very next day and had tracking from a Chinese website(I chose free shipping). Google translate helped me navigate and get updates from the shipment tracking site. They also had the USPS tracking number once it passed the customs checkpoint at the border, and USPS took over the rest of the shipping duties.

Packaging

The package came in great shape and was well padded. Although I was expecting a zip-lock bag of key-caps, what came was a key-set in a plastic case, padded and boxed. This was the same sort of packaging that GMK does, from what I have seen on youtube and other GMK reviews. My first GMK set will be Zambumon’s Nautilus, that I’m waiting for from the Massdrop GroupBuy.
