XVX PBT Keycaps - Side Print Keycaps 60 65 75 100 Percent, Double Shot Shine Through Custom Key caps, Black 136 Keys Set, OEM Profile, Minimalist Style Phantom for Cherry Gateron MX Switche Keyboard

I was looking for some Shine-Through keycaps for my Royal Kludge S98 to make it more useable in dark environments. I wanted to keep the same color theme, and these were the closest I found. They fit well, and sound almost the same as the ones that came with it. I like the minimalist look of the blank tops on the keys, and they light up well. Lots of key options for various size control keys, both widths and heights. I did not change out the rust/clay colored keys to keep the look as much the same as it came from RK. I will change those when I find a set that color. The keys are slightly higher than stock, which is fine. They are very comfortable. I have attached pictures of 1/2 the keys changed as well as all changed, and backlight turned off. Very good keys for a great price!

After these XVX PBT side-print keycaps went on my all-black Jet 75, they just looked awesome. The subtle, matte finish is premium, nothing cheap about it. Under normal lighting, they are a sober, classy black; shine a flashlight on them, and the faint glitter coating just adds to their charm.My LikingFits impeccably on a 75-percent layout—with every key I needed included.Side-print legends are crisp, easy to read.It feels smooth and durable, never acquiring a slick shine even after hours of use.Great value for the price of about $15 for a full 136-key set.My Only Quirk-Tongue-in-CheekBacklighting on my Jet 75 is not very bright, so light doesn’t shine through the legends quite like it would in product images. I actually think it’s down to my backlight, rather than the caps.Basically, I’d recommend them to anyone wanting a clean, professional look on black. These keycaps feel really solid, look really impressive, and they won’t break the bank.

Overall really great looking, feel nice to type with, sound nice too, however there is quality control issues it seems as my keys shine through do not let much light through even with South facing LEDs on my custom build. (Not really a big issue if you can look past it or don't care for the feature). Additionally the key set I received contains multiple duplicates (not just spares or of different shades) but is missing 2 keys (for me it's esc and an F12) which does mean I had to use different keys from the set to "fill in"for the missing two. (Again not a big deal if you aren't looking from the top and don't care for the side print and are a good typer). I got lucky it came with same shade keys to match the gradient and the cherry F row profile so the gradient isn't off.

These keycaps look slick on a board with south facing RGBs. The lettering is difficult to make out when the RGB is off, making for a satisfying, stealthy look. The double-shot keycaps are clear and the lights shine through. The keycaps are stable on my standard MX-stemmed Kailh Pro Purple switches and fit well. The keys are a bit lighter than the OEM ones on my Keychron K10 Pro, allowing the switch to make a more satisfying noise, while being more responsive in the rebound.Buyer beware that a second Windows key is not included in the package (for boards with two Windows keys). That is my only gripe. I subbed out the old-school menu key for it, so it wasn’t a life-changing omission.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:these goes with my gray keyboard perfectly. beautifully monotone without being a flat single color. the shine through letters are super bright with my south facing LEDs and look perfect in person. i use them with box jades and the feeling is really nice and clicky unlike some other caps i've tried that weren't dense enough for a solid click feel

Purchased both the white set and a black set. The white set is wonderful. The black set is terrible in terms of shine through. When the letter has a curve, as in an "S, C, R, B, etc." or is there is a double line in the letter like "F" the light shines through very, very weakly and looks terrible. One the white set, the shine through is perfect and very bright. I cannot evaluate durability as I have just gotten them, but they have a slight texture on top that I hope does not vanish as I use them. I would easily give these caps 5 stars if they shine through was better than it actually is, and the picture that they have on amazon with the black key caps is nowhere representative of the quality of illumination that you will see with them on a south facing led.

The keycaps are very nice and fit perfectly with my keyboard, the purple grain looks amazing and does not mute my linear switches unlike a few other brandsI have tried before, and the quality feels nice. It was easy quick and easy to install.I had a slight issue at first with the letters being barely visible but I was able to get help immediately and was able to resolve the issue with them, their customer service is quick and helpful. Would definitely be buying from them again

I have been very skeptical, hesitant, and pessimistic about side-printed, shine-through keycaps until today. I have used these keycaps for a week now, and don't think I will look any further. The visibility of the legends is excellent. The sound profile is also awesome; they make typing feel so nice. Because they are double-shot PBT, one is assured of their durability, especially because the legends are on the sides, which you'll never get to touch. At the moment, I am using these on my Nuphy Kick75, where the white ones blend so well. Oh, and they are OEM profile so functionality-wise I have the greatest ease of typing.I have decided to purchase another set (black) for my Keychron K10 Pro, which also has south-facing LEDs.These keycaps have, in a way, restored my faith in keyboards with south-facing LEDs, which I used to hate because it wasn't easy finding shine-through keycaps for them, and I am a great fan of shine-through keycaps.I highly recommend these, hence my 5-star rating. If there were a possibility for 10 stars, I would give them all 10!
