Delighted I Bought These
I bought the purple ones to spruce up my venerable but uninspiring Das Keyboard Professional Model S. I was expecting them to feel flimsier than the original keycaps because after all, the Das Keyboard is expensive and heavy and these things are cheap. But actually, these feel thicker and more substantial than the original keycaps, which makes me think the Das Keyboard was a bit of a lie, talking themselves up about how fancy they are.Now, looking at my new-looking Purple Rain-ish keyboard, I'm wondering why I didn't swap out the keycaps a long time ago. In fact, I'm going to get some more of these in different colors and mix things up a bit. How about orange modifiers and function keys and purple alphas? I don't know, but at these prices, I can afford to experiment. Also, I'm very glad I took the time to pull all the keycaps and remove the unspeakable things that were lurking underneath there.This was a good experience and a good way to spend under $20 to spruce up a tool I use for hours everyday.

Well, it's the only option available, so...
If you are looking at this product, you probably already know it is one of the few, if not currently the one and only available backlit PBT keycap set.Like most people that are goldilocks about their keyboards, I prefer PBT keycaps to ABS. I grew up in the goldenage of the desktop era and I am a professional software developer. Whether due to personal preference or actual superiority, I vastly prefer a mechanical keyboard with PBT. These keys were installed on a CODE 87 with Cherry MX Clear switches.Missing information from product:- Space key is 6.25- DCS profile- PBT plastic is sturdy enough to not require internal crosshatch supportObjective Positives:- Currently the only available backlit PBT cap set- Price is excellent, low riskShape:- Keys have a fairly heavy bevel resulting in slightly less top cap area than keys they replaced- top caps have noticeably more concavity than prior caps- Good PBT texture and feelSubjective Opinions:- translucent material used for the legends is a little too transparent and should be slightly more opaque, they let a lot of light through.- Font used for legends is pretty meh.- Alpha key legend placement is top center, but appears just slightly off center to the right. Enough to be annoying.O-Rings:- Due to the lack of internal crosshatch, O-rings can be pushed up to the point where the caps still bottom out. This is actually kind of a nice "o-ring light" damping, but you could double up on the rings if needed.- Yes, the backlighting of the legends is affected by the o-ring install such that the bottom half of the legend character is dimmer than the top half.Final thoughts- Not sure if I will keep these on the board or not. I really like the feel of PBT caps but the legend is not so great and key shape isn't as nice as what they were replacing. Both of these are pretty serious trade offs so I'll need to weight those against my hatred for ABS.

Great set for only $18
I bought these key caps to replace the standard ABS caps that came with my Rosewill Helios keyboard. This is my first set of PBT caps and all I can say is that they are miles ahead of ABS caps.These caps came in a package with the brand name Kananic. It includes a plastic kepcap puller and both size enter keys depending on your layout. This set is designed for standard layout keyboards so if your bottom row is custom, the bottom row keys won't fit.Issues: the keys are thin so you will get backlight bleeding. They are also not cut cleanly on the bottom edges (see close up pics) so if you're super neurotic you may want to avoid these. These issues don't really bother me since they are going on my work keyboard and they are less than half the cost of Vortex caps (if you can even find them in stock).They ship from China. Expected delivery was quoted for 4-7 weeks but I got mine in a little under 3 weeks.

(almost) Perfect match for Logitech G610 Orion Brown Mech Keyboard
This kit is a perfect match for my Logitech G610 mechanical keyboard, with exception of the spacebar.(the key hooks are off, but the length is otherwise fine). I'm pleasantly surprised by the quality and I love the slightly textured feel of the keys too. For those wondering, it comes complete with an ISO and an ANSI Return/Enter key.I hope these guys keep their quality up as I'm getting ready for other keyboard mods!

Great quality keycaps with terrible quality control
So if you know keycaps, then you know that Double Shot PBT is the way to go and that it's also pretty pricey. Namely, more pricey than this. This keycaps have a very nice finish to them, similar to the key caps of 90s keyboards from yesteryear. They add a decent depth of sound to an already good sounding keyboard (Gateron Blue Switches). They are translucent, as the products is described. As a matter of fact, they let through light a bit better than the stock caps on my keyboard. However, there is a negative to go with the positives. The quality control. Some keys are scuffed, and some have a bit of extra plastic hanging off the bottom. The plastic bits, pretty easy to scrape off. Bits of missing color (chipping) from the keycaps kind of takes away from the appearance a bit but thankfully I only saw that in maybe two key caps, but still that is two too many. Also, the font on Alt and Ctrl are bolded on one side of the keyboard but not the other? Kid of a weird inconsisency. Bang for your buck? Yes. Best quality? Not so much. Decent quality? I'd say so. If you're pinching pennies, these will be just fine. As a bonus, they come packaged pre-arranged so you don't have to sort through them before putting them on your keyboard. It was a nice touch.
