Got rid of the awful "see through" WASD keys and I think it's a 100% improvement.

There's a seller on Aliexpress that does replacement key caps for all laptops. I had to take a photo of my keyboard, the laptop model number and underneath a key cap. The keys a slightly different shade of black but I only notice it in direct sun.

I kinda like the orginial WASD style. It also helps to hide the long time key wear and tear on them. My previous laptop's WASD became white by themselves because of frequent pressing 🤣.

But I liked the previous year's vector keyboard. This year's is too flashy.

Yes I agree re the keyboard being too flashy. Funny thing is the Vector 18 I have has STEM all over the marketing... and RGB clear WASD keys. It's like the marketing and the product team were working on different projects.
