The Copper Eagle keycap set from Awekeys is a full metal (including stems) set with great layout support and a seriously one-of-a-kind sound signature! I tried them out on a few different builds, and I have to say they do require some thoughtfulness in the build specs. But pair it with the right board and switch combination, and you'll be flying... like an eagle... a copper eagle... HA! Check them out at the link below! Day 1 backers on Kickstarter will receive a free stem adjustment tool :)
