XVX PBT Keycaps - Side Print, Shine Through Custom, Retro Keycap Set, 128 Cherry Profile Keys for Mechanical Keyboards, Plum Blossom

Pros: Keys look and feel good. They light up very well with south facing LED keyboard like the Keychron V3 that I have. Page Up and Page Down are abbreviated the standard way of PGUP and PGDN. Home, End, Ins, and Del are also abbreviated the standard way. A couple of blank keys are provided that have no shine through for customizing.Cons: The alternate Caps Lock keys post is misaligned and therefore does not actually fit this set because it hits the A key. There is only one WIN key, two would be good so both left and right sides are the same. Blank keys are limited to only a couple and they do not cover all the sizes for a normal key, caps lock, shift, (ctrl, win, alt, options, command) keys. No alternate keys are provided for Scroll lock, Break, and Pause keys. My biggest complaint was about the spacebar being slightly to big and slightly warped. I contacted the manufacturer and they shipped me a replacement set of keycaps which arrived within a week or so of contacting them. Everything now works as expected and still looks good. The second set they sent were a slightly different color but that worked out great for me as I now have a two tone keyboard with the letter keys from one set and the control/action keys from the other set.TLDR: Good overall keycap set, great customer service, easy install and absolutely no reason not to buy now.

These check every box a little. They are PBT, so glorious clack and clomp. They'll also last forever before going "shiny" on you. Their compromise for backlit/shine-through key legends depends on your mood. They move them to the front of the keycap. I like it.The wood grain look is done well. With your backlight off, these could be wood. Someone could think they are. And typing on them isn't going to do anything but convince someone they are walnut, if the backlight is off. I'm typing on them now. They are fantastic. Very very quick. They work well with the Gateron Browns I prefer, and promote quickly floating over the tops of keys just barely activating them. Little things are nice too. They include a lot of extra keys, so I was able to fish out a second WIN key, one for backlight, one for screenshot, etc. They addressed something that's a pet peeve of mine, and missing on a lot of modern keysets. The J and F keys have perfect indents at the bottom you can just feel with your fingers to let you know they are the home position typing keys. No hunting in the dark. This is great for gaming.Are they perfect? Pretty close. There's things they could have done. Like making the wood grain pattern match across the keycaps. Or slightly different shades of wood for function vs letter vs F keys. Little style things. They could have included printed legends on the top also. But again, at this price, I'm more than satisfied. They even Include a little key puller, and separate the caps into 3 sets with the common keys in one, and the fillers in the others. It's all very logical and very well done. I'll be buying more of these.

I'm not exactly a keyboard fanatic, but these are pretty cool!The Good: Look great, and they have nice matte feel. They fit the keyboard fine, I installed them on a Redragon Keyboard.The Bad: Unfortunately the lettering does not light up well on the side and is impossible to make out, and since I'm still learning to touch type, its becomes a nightmare when i cant find a key! Not an issue if your a pro though, but there might as well be no lettering at all.

The media could not be loaded. I have a keyboard with a bit of thock and was hoping these keycaps would continue that sort of deep sound that I like. While a little higher pitched (and by that I mean very slightly) they are quite pleasing to the ear. Probably because they are double shot.On that note, I had to look twice to find that they were made by XVX. Generally nice budget keycaps, they are not bad at all. What you see on screen is what you get. When the lights are off on your keyboard, they are pretty close to a walnut color. When the lights are on, they do turn a bit redder.The font is not as boring as some keycaps (which is why I went with these. I really hate boring fonts.) I also have south facing lights on my keyboard (Keychron) so they work very well with these. I do tend to turn the lights down a bit, but they shine very well through the sharply cut legends.The tops are gentle and are cupped nicely so that your touch typing is easy and smooth. As for the bumps on the F and J keys, they are subtle, but not as bad as some keycaps that I have found. I have no problem with them.For greater effect, match these caps with a nice walnut wrist rest and the setup will look serene. They are very calming to look at, both with lights on or off.I would recommend these caps and am honestly a bit surprised that there was only one other rating on them. They are not badly priced and frankly look really nice considering that they are plastic caps. (I cannot afford real wood caps, but these look good enough for me to appreciate the aesthetic.)

Paired with my AULA F99, these keys really elevate the aesthetic appeal! They're double shot PBT, so the build quaility is definitely there.. the color and texture is just like wood too.. it even smells like wood! Wild right?The keys themselves come in a nice tray, making it easy to pick everything out and place it exactly where it needs to go, not to mention the key pulling tool they include too - which makes it a breeze. Definitely a bonus in the functionality department. They seem super durable, and the etching is the perfect size for each key in my opinion!At $20, you can't beat it! Definitely a great value!

Not a bad product, keycaps look and feel nice. But loses 2 stars for the fact that I got two "3/#" keys and no "`/~" key.
