HK Gaming Keycap Set for Mechanical Keyboard

inexpensive and good quality caps. a++

I just got this set for some accent keys. My Cherry keyboard came with all white and whileit was beautiful, I felt the need for some color accents. I tried most of the blue keys at first, but felt it wasn’t quite the look I was going for, but then settled on a more minimalist choice and love it. I still need to hunt around for a red delete keycap and green arrow keys just to spice it up a little more.Quality feels great, sound the same as my originals. I do wish the CAPS, SCROLL LOCK, and NUM LOCK keys had LED pass through if I ever decided to use those keys.

TL;DR - if you're looking for thick, no-nonsense Cherry profile PBT, I can recommend these caps. If you're looking to maximize an RGB shine, or interested in a more exotic font or profile, these may notUsage: I bought these for a Keychron K8, which is a great value mechanical keyboard that ships with thin, double shot ABS keycaps - taller OEM profile, slick touch, quickly get shiny from oils, don't sound great.So I purchased these caps as I type, not game (thus I like Cherry profile). And compared to their K1, the K8 has very minimal RGB shine through - the way they've designed the aluminum bezel blocks a great deal of light.These PBT keycaps are nice and thick. The dye sublimated legends are clear and easy to read, and the printing is generally clean and uniform. They sound great on the Gateron brown switches that came stock on the K8. They are also much better feeling and typing than the stock ABS caps. And I like the splash of color that comes from the modifiers in this set.Now, because the stock caps have the Mac function key sub legends (and this set does NOT), I kept the stock caps for the function row. Also, realize these keycaps are not translucent or doubleshot, so if you're really wanting the RGB light show - these caps won't help you. And this K8 ain't your blingy shiny board to begin with.But I'm not a gamer, and for work the RGB doesn't mean a big deal to me. Thus, these caps can work fine for a daily driver.These will eventually become my second board as I am planning to make a GMMK Pro (already pre-ordered) with MT3 profile caps my daily driver when they finally ship. In the mean time, this a great budget option.

Got the triangles design, I don't really have any praises for them, but I also don't particularly hate them.The key caps are decent enough, they feel fine, though the quality varies quite a bit within the set, some of them have VERY noticeable burr and some of them are pretty slick.I would love them even more if there was an option with all black triangles instead of having coloured triangles for anything that's not an alphanumeric key, as I personally think the coloured ones really detract from the minimalist design. I might just get a blank set of modifiers.

If you own a Mac, you'll be happy to know that this set contains option and command keys in more than one size.I've been able to use this set on my Keychron K2 (a 75% layout with a small right shift key) and my Keychron K8 (a tenkeyless layout). I know that if I wanted to put it on a full-size keyboard or a 60%, I'd be able to do that, too. On the K2, a couple of keycaps along the right side had an odd angle on top because it's a sculpted profile and they weren't in the location where they'd be on a 60%/TKL/100%, but it wasn't that bad.There's a smoother (almost satiny) feel compared to other PBT keycaps I've used. It's pleasant just to rest my hands on the keys. They aren't shine-through, but when I use RGB lights I can still see the light around the keycaps and a little bit of glow-through.All the legends are clean, not blurry, and left-justified. I do have one (the " ' key) that's printed slightly lower than the others. The font isn't at all gamer-esque.I've used them with Gateron Blues and Kailh Box Jades, and in both cases it gives the sound a little more bass, even a little bit of a thock from the caps hitting the plate. Because they're Cherry profile, it takes a little bit less force to activate the Box Jades than it does with OEM and I feel like my hands don't tire out as quickly.For about $40, I consider these a great deal.

Update: My keyboard still looks BEAUTIFUL! I just wanted to add that I found out these keycaps are cherry profile after all. Turns out I was given OEM with original. Just FYI really, because I’m in love with my keycaps, and I don’t really care what is what at this point Hahahaha(I was wrong here —>) important info: keycaps are designed shorter than traditional cherry profile as you can see in the picture! Comparison in picture done with exact same keys (alt and esc)Review: Absolutely love this keycaps! Color is fantastic, and it fits on my Durgod K320 perfectly. The quality is very impressive, and it really hits me that keycaps used on my previous keyboards (corsair razer logi ) were such a low quality keycaps.Here are the pros and consPros: Beautiful color and font, built thicker than the PBT keycaps that originally came with my K320, touch feels great (feels MUCH smoother than original PBT keycaps that I received for my keyboard) color is amazing (really reminds me of the chalk days)Cons (More of a suggestion for improvement and not cons):I wish there were some other options such as no words engraved on keycaps, or picture framed keycaps instead of engraving words such as Carl or Fn1, Cmd, etcTop two rows were slightly taller than it should in my opinion. No fuss nevertheless.This is pretty much it. I was just WOWed when I started using this. Definitely willing to buy more products from this company as I am thoroughly impressed.
