SDYZ XVX PBT Keycaps - Side Print Keycap Set, Double Shot Shine Through Custom Keycaps, Black Keycaps OEM Profile 136 Keys, Minimalist Style Phantom Keyboard Keycap for Mechanical Keyboards

OK lets face it, your choices if you have a keyboard with south facing LEDs are pretty limited. Are these the finest quality , probably no, are they complete plastic e-waste - no What they are are a set of fairly thick keycaps PBT or some other plastic (does it really matter) with a dye sub coat with the characters stencilled out on the side. And they do exactly what they say on the tin! what do you expect for the price :) In other words perfectly acceptable side printed keycaps which fit a south facing LED key board and a full set to boot, a very price competative buy and do the job, so for that reason alone 5 stars.

- Light output is good : if you have South-facing LEDs (I do, see picture) - The tall keys ... well, the LED is far away from the front edge - Cap material is hard and feels good - Yes, there are a few keys that do not match the UK layout - But hey, you're a keyboard enthusiast, you can touchtype, right? - There's a good selection of caps that can be on different rows (so the profile and gradient matches) - (This is why there are so many PAGE DOWN keys, other reviewer ...) - The colour gradient makes row matching easier (unless you got the black ones) - Enough caps in here to cover my Q6, 100% ISO layout with numpad, plus four keys The reason this set is cheap is _because_ of the lack of specific national keys - why make moulds and pick and mix sets for such a small country when you can just do one set that works mechanically for all markets. You want a £ sign? You're going to be shelling out more £s. You want a nice set of caps that looks good? These work.

Great, Love the colour! I got the purple one! If there was a blue one I would have gotten that. Makes my keyboard sound nicer! I love the look of the keycaps being on the sides rather than the top. Has all the different keycaps so it does fit all different keyboards. Good for the money! Very happy with this product!

I bought these as I was looking for a fresh take on my Keychron K2's appearance and lighting. I unplugged the keyboard, popped the keys off and installed the new ones. As others have noted, this item does not include all relevant keys for a UK ISO layout keyboard. Then I plugged the keyboard back in and immediately hated the experience. The LEDs on my board shine vertically through the Keychron caps, and look great with the standard keys. However, they do not perform well with caps, like the set under review here, that have the letters and icons printed on the front of the caps. The lighting was intolerably dim. This is not the fault of the manufacturer. Rather, it is a warning to potential buyers to consider how the LEDs are oriented on their keyboards. In terms of the visual design, the graduated greys are attractive and give the keyboard a nice minimal look. However, once installed, I wasn't a fan of the font used on the keycaps, particularly in light of the brightness issues I encountered. I reverted back to my Keychron caps and immediately noticed a difference. I'll probably put these caps on another keyboard to see how they work with that. They're not bad keycaps in the slightest; they just weren't appropriate for my keyboard.

feel extremely good quality for the price

Missing quite a few keys, quite bad shine through even on a south facing led keyboard (keycron Q6 max) on max brightness. Few characters barely letting any light shine through. Sending them back right away.

Really well made, and the colour gradient is beautiful. Lots of alternative keys too. Very good for the price.

Overall quality is nice, but the light shines through part is not as good, and it's a pain to find a key if you are used to reading the keys

الkey kaps ليست كما في الصوره بحيث ان الأحرف ليست فيها اضاءة rgb وانما طباعة احرف فقط

Che dire, questo gradient è perfetto per staccare un po' dal Total black!

These keycaps feel great on top of Gateron yellow switches. The color gradient is not too dark nor light. Make sure your keyboard has front facing LEDs otherwise the letter light will be quite muted. I was hesitant on buying more XVX keycaps as I didn't like my first MOA set. These are much better. Keyboard looks sleek and minimal when lighting is off.

My fave set of caps

the double shot PBT keys are have a very reasonable thickness and weight for their price range, however the paint is terrible and strips easy, gets instantly scratched if you use the included keycap puller. didn't even finish setting them up and it already look terrible. that's what you get for 20e, do not recommend.
